Victor had a football game today and Morgan and Tanya went with Troy to watch him play. I've had this yucky cold all week and stayed home to rest. Then I got a little restless and so the rest of us went on a little hike in the mountains above our house. Leaves are changing and it was a beautiful day with beautiful views of the valley. 
Ana loves candy... and it shows! This is not an unusual look for her to come home from school with : )
Last week I made tomato soup and chili sauce from all th tomatoes that had come from our garden and from my moms garden and my neighbors garden. This past week my sister brought me a whole box of tomatoes, so we made another batch of tomato soup and chili sauce! I don't know what I'll do if all my green tomatoes turn red in the next couple weeks, I'm done cleaning up tomato splatter.
Last week Victor had his first real football game. He's really liked the practices, but I'm not so sure about the games. He follows the ball, but doesn't want to touch anyone. We'll cure him of that by the end of the season, right? 
Ethan and Ana were running at and jumping on these pads trying to tip them even a little bit, nada - couldn't even budge them.
Then we went home to set up for the neighborhood/ward picnic. I made homemade rootbeer and the kids loved it. We had a bit of dry ice left over so we made some more at home. Very exciting.
Ana saved her dollars to buy some fake nails, oh yeah baby. She wore them all week end and then pulled them all off an hour into school on Monday. We had to crimp her hair that morning, I didn't realize that was part of the wearing fake nails to school look!
Our cousin Grayce was baptized and all the kids sang at her baptism the song, I like to look for rainbows. Everyone did a wonderful job, they sounded beautiful.
We then went home to prepare for the BYU game. We had the Tuft's, Odie and his sister's family over to watch the game. Claudia's little/big three month old Alexa was the hit. What a sweet heart. Morgan was attatched. Ana came over at one point and just wrinkled up her nose, like what is the big deal with that slobbery pink thing : ) We laughted pretty hard, definately the jealous one!
We had Georgia and Aunt Marcie stop by to take Aly down to BYU! The oldest Keller cousin is off to college. It was fun to see them and all the fun things Aly was decorating her dorm room with. I even got to have Geogia stay and play one of the days. We made some cookies and then went and got Ana out of school early so they could spend some time together. Ana loves playing with Georgia and they get along really well.
Then Happy Birthday to me! Terrible picture, but the only one with my eyes open. Can you tell how hard I was trying, I hate flashes, I ALWAYS blink. The kids each got me a magazine, pretty fun. I love magazines, but never buy them. They also picked out some cool soaps from the farmers market. Especially cooking and house magaizines. Troy took Friday off of work and we went up to Park City for the day. Wandered the galleries, ate and did a little shopping. We took our bikes but it rained most of the afternoon and Saturday morning so we didn't ride. Sunday we had cake and ice cream at my parents and Tanya and Victor were wild. It was like they just walked off the plane from Ukraine. Thank goodness they were calm when heading out the door to school the next day.
This is the cute little dove sitting on her two eggs in the backyard. The kids have been watching her waiting for the eggs to hatch for weeks.
