Beautiful September!!

Sariah's First Game Cheerleading.

"Farmer Boy" back by popular demand.

Sure love having Talmage join our convos with Elder Hales.

Sariah got to go to the Othello Demolition Derby with the cheer squad.

Family Friday Night Lights!

Super fun to have a cheerleader and a football player in the family.

Dad's Birthday - Happy 45!

Rex killing it on the soccer field!

Lyle doing the same.

Rex and Lyle's first year of soccer has me in awe.  They play so hard!  They score, they pass, they are great goalies.  It's hard to believe they came into this world at 4 pounds and unable to breathe on their own.

Homecoming Date 2022 - Jacob Freeman

Aunt Terri decorated for our birthday visit to the Lakehouse.

It was a perfect day.

Boys had their wet suits on and they were in the water by 8:30 at 54 degrees.

During the afternoon, we all got in the kayaks and on paddleboards and went across the lake as a family.

A lot of rest and relaxation in one day.

Hyrum's turn to try to make it past Dad:

We got to go watch Jhett and his team accomplish their first victory on a beautiful night.  Hyrum may have been missing football just a bit.

Hyrum at Walla Walla

Sariah was able to borrow some boots for the cheerleader western day.  They were just what she would have picked out on her own.

Dad traveled to Walla Walla the next night to be with Sariah at her first away game.

Hyrum at Apple Ridge XC Meet:

Hyrum got 8th at his first Apple Ridge Meet - same as Sariah!

 

Labor Day Weekend

Kami talked me into going fishing, so I bought a license and learned enough to take the boys fishing while James was in Utah with his family to be set apart as a high priest.

Lyle's first catch within the first 5 minutes.

Rex got one too!

Trying to rescue a line that got caught.

We weren't successful, but look at the hair-do.

And a frog.

One of those projects that sat idle for too long.

Sunday evening Carlin was married to LeeAnn at a beautiful place in Walla Walla.

I was missing James, but he was having a very special experience being ordained by his brother Mark to the office of High Priest in Santaquin.

We went early on Monday morning with Gigi before she had to go home.

After washing cars, I took the boys to the flume to play on a hot afternoon.  We were eager to welcome home Dad that afternoon. 

 

School Starts

 

Monday sent Sariah to Connell as a link crew leader and James to Chiawana.

I took Rex and Lyle to Mesa for their first day.  (Hyrum was home until Tuesday.)

Since school for James didn't actually start until Tuesday, he was able to talk to Bryant.

Tuesday, a car load was headed off to catch a Mesa bus and onto Connell.

Back by popular demand at bedtime.

Lyle's first school duty was taking care of the flag.

Sariah's first football game!
