Sunny fall days








A few moments in the afternoon sun (and later that evening)with Violet.

Family Picture


We had our neighbor snap this just before we made a mad dash to church.

Uh doe Whoops Y U dame

(How Jonah asked to go to Luke's football game from the backseat)

Any sports jersey is YYU. If Will is wearing it: Whoa(Will) Y U. If Luke is wearing it: Whoop Y U. Dadden Y U. You get the picture. BYU is all the talk around here!

Luke is totally enjoying his first season of tackle football. He is number 83...I hope you can spot him. Squint. (I'm afraid I'm going to have to find a telephoto lens if I'm going to catch anything at his games)
Something I've learned is that all the bumps and bruises you get playing tackle football are like medals of honor to boys. Ouch! His fore arms are always covered in bruises after practice. At first I didn't think arm bands were necessary but now maybe so.

This afternoon Luke found a white board lying on his bed which read: "Luke, You need to take a shower and make your bed. From Bridget Sign your first and last name here: "
She was writing notes to him all afternoon on it. As she passed him on the stairs she held it up and it said, "Hello!"

Happy 2nd Birthday Jonah






Jonah was delighted with his CARS cake...made by Will and Bridget.

Moots




Why are Jonah's "Moots" so awesome?
1. They have shark fins,teeth and eyes
2. Easy on, easy off even if you are two
3. Not every shoe can take you where these babies can; mud, water, dirt, sand...bring it on!
4. Socks are optional
5. They have handles that make carrying them a cinch

a sweet little hat




Violets little hat with the violet trim. I just love her little head shape and the hat hugs it so perfectly.
