Michael's Buddy

Michael has been having a great time this year as a first grader.  For a class project each kid took turns taking home Buddy, and chronicling the things they did together.
On the way home from school... excited to spend the week together

Playing outside.... 

Swim team

Saturday shopping trip to Fry's

Piano Lessons

Young Women's

 Last Fall I was called to be the Young Women's President of our ward in Casa Grande.  I had worked with the Young women for a couple of years doing camp, then personal progress, and then as Mia Maid advisor.  I guess they thought I really needed to wade into this calling.  I really love the girls in our ward.... and have had a great time working with them.









State Fair

I thought I might go back and update all the stuff I've missed the last six months or so.... After reading through my old posts I realized how much I enjoy my own blog as a kind of journal of sorts.

Dawn and her kid came to visit for Halloween, and we spend one of the days together at the State Fair.... I think all the kids had a great time.  Scott however thought it would be a good idea to eat Chicken Fried Steak on a stick, and then follow it by a deep fried Reeces Bar.  I dont' think he was feeling to great after that.  We also drank about five cups of Lemonade.

Halloween

Scott as usual did a great Halloween write up on our web page.  You can see it here at http://www.scottnsara.com/halloween2010.html

And just for a sneak preview....


Now go to the web page for the rest of the photos, and Scott's insightful commentary.

Fall Update



As you all know, if there's something I do consistently, its neglecting my blog.  So here's a update to let you all know what we've been up to. 



We sent the boys back to school.  Michael is attending a uniformed charter school.  The work is challenging... but he is excelling.  Mathew is back at his preschool, and he is doing great.  His speech is improving all the time.

Macey and I have had plenty of Mommy/Daughter time.  And she has turned into an excellent shopping buddy.
We also got to take a trip to San Diego to meet up with our good friends Al and Alyssa.  We got to spend some time at Balboa Park, the Beach, visiting some very interesting places to eat, and even got to watch some football just like the old days.







Yeah... That's right... Scott and I showed our AZ pride while we were in Cali!

Happy Halloween?- Halloween 2010 written by Scott

"Everybody say Cheese!"
Halloween can be so depressing, it seems! This year it pits brother against brother, and brother versus sister. Batman must attempt to maintain justice and civility in the company of Dracula and the Wicked Queen. No wonder everyone appears so somber and forlorn, for tonight's outcome is veiled in uncertainty. Though...no matter what happens tonight...Sara did an excellent job, yet again, making these amazing costumes.

 "I vant to trick or treat"
Dracula shows off his cape, fanged teeth, and amulet.

"That's as evil as it gets"
This wicked queen has quite the sinister smile to accompany her elegant dress.

"we want to pump... you up"
 Batman seeks assistance from his cousin, Wolverine. It's about to get real fighty, real fast.

 "Michael and Autumn"
Batman's not the only one with friends. Dracula happens to know a neighborly witch.

"Dracula up to no good"
Oh no! Dracula already has the upper hand. He appears to be taunting Batman with a candy bowl.

"Quick! to the batmobile"
Batman narrowly escapes from the wicked queen before she can seize his candy bag.

 "Matthew and Ryland"
Batman realizes he may even need the help of a loyal pirate friend tonight.

 "Where to find more MeM's?"
Now that Batman has escaped, the queen will have to find her precious MeM's elsewhere.

"victory walk"
Dracula appears quite content with the spoils from tonight's exploits.

"I think she likes Halloween"
Wait...look at that smile. Maybe she's not so wicked after all.

"Trunk o Treat 2010"
Other than the skeleton losing his head, the annual trunk-or-treat was a success.

"another awesome carving"
Another Halloween finally comes to a close, and the pumpkin monster picks his nose?

Oh what do we do in the Summertime?

We have cousins over for swimming
We Slip n Slide




We try to watch fireworks
We do some synchronized diving

We swim in swim meets

We watch swim meets
We go to more swim meets

We lose teeth
We fall asleep
