We had tricks and we had treats, but most of all, we had fun!

We had a great October. Our baby is all grown up and we couldn't be prouder of her. She and Shane are doing well at SCC. The Spanish teacher teases them that the the white blondie has a better accent than the Mexican looking one. Practice up Paco!!! Cam finished cross country doing a great job and is headed into wrestling. Shauna and Tony will be performing their play at EV and then he and Shane will start wrestling. Alison is the new Whitman ASB president and doing an amazing job there. Josh got promoted to the performance marimba band and just had a performance at some district luncheon. He and Ali love being in ZingaMarimba. Becca is doing great in third grade and is taking piano lessons. Katie is in a dance performance for the upcoming Veteren's Day assembly and also taking piano. Koli is on his way to reading in kindergarten. His favorite center is the book corner. Ryno and Levi keep things hopping here at home. They have become best buddies and Ryan is a comedian! I told him to relax the other day - he wanted me to get something for him right away- and I heard him say under his breath, "I think you're the one who needs to relax." One day he had had enough TV in my oppinion and so I told him too much wasn't good for him. After another few minutes of Dora, he came in and announced that arriba and abjo meant up and down in Spanish and that Shane and Shiloh had to go all the way to college for that. Let's just say, he finished Dora and then used those words as often as he could the next few hours.
James and I were able to go to SLC for conference. It was very inspiring and a nice, qiuck get-away. Well, have a great November!




Happy Birthday Shiloh. I can't believe you are 18, where did the time go? Shiloh has been an awesome daughter and an awesome example to her family. Thank you Shi for being so great!

Shiloh with her big girl gifts. Items she will use at college.

Grandma came for a visit while James and I went to SLC for conference.


Shauna threw a girl's night out party for Shiloh

Happy Birthday Ryan! Ryan turned 4. A teacher at schol asked him how old he was and he said five. She said really? with some doubt in her voice and he qiuckly added, "Well I will be five after I've been 4 for a little while".









The kids had a twin stake dance. Shauna went as a princess with her friend
Shiloh went as peach and shane was mario
tony went as a nerd with his friend zack

And then it was Halloween. we had a great time at the east valley party and the church party. Cam went to his cousin's house and had a great time. I don't have pics of Shiloh and Shane because they were handing out candy. I think we just saw enough of them already. :)
