So here is more of our goings on in our family. In the last two months as many of you know Timothy has had his share of accidents. The first was exactly one week before pictures. He was running on the playground at school, and him and his friend turned around at the same time and smacked right into each other. Timmy got the bum end of the deal, they hit heads and Timmy ended up with this wonderful shiner, it was also the day of his pack meeting this is him with his shiner recieving his wolf badge.He missed a day and a half of school because his eye was swollen shut and he couldn't see. The end of September we went to Capital Reef with Bryan's Mom and Dad it was alot of fun. Bryans Mom and Dad actually bought us a little pop up trailer so we didn't have to sleep in a tent it was great and definately alot warmer then a tent. Mackey was able to pass off all his stuff for his outdoors men badge for Webelos so that was cool. This is a picture of him building a fire. It was awesome. Their is a picture further down of the fire later in the night it was amazing these people we were camping with just kept piling on the logs.

We went on a hike through the Grand Wash it was a nice walk, although the sign said it was only 1.3 miles and in actuallity it was 2.5 miles needless to say Issy and Logan were exhausted by the end but they were troopers they just kept walking we kept them busy looking for lizards and cool rocks.

Issy loved the dirt she must have played in the sand for hours, she was so dirty we hooked up the shower outside and stood her in a rubbermaid tote and washed her off it was great this little girl was in heaven. Oops bum crack she had a little problem with her pants they just wouldn't stay up and I couldn't resist.

Cooking hotdogs over the fire and theres that awesome fire Mackey made.

Wow is that awesome bed hair or what Issy always has crazy hair but this was exceptional so I just had to take a picture she had just woke up and was just as happy as could be.

This is the ride home I can't remember exactly where we were but it was stinky and I looked back and there was Issy holding her nose sound asleep.

Okay so exactly 2 days after we got back from Capital Reef Timothy crashed on his bike on his way to school. I was already at the crosswalk, luckily he crashed in front of the neighbors house. He was wearing a helmet or I am sure we would have been at the hospital as it was he broke his two front teeth. He did not knock them out but he cracked them and they were on the verge of falling out alot of crying and 3 dentists later, he had a splint on 3 stitches in his lip and a big fat face. This is a picture of the aftermath his nose was not broken thank goodness but we still have a ways to go. Oh and did I mention he could not eat solid food for 4 weeks nothing he had to bite into. So not only did I have to come up with something for Issy to eat because of all her allergies I had to figure out what Timmy could eat too, it was great. He is doing alot better he can eat now as long as he is not biting directley into something. They did a root canal on both of his front teeth they are hoping to save them at least until his jaw stops growing witch by the way for boys is not until they are 18 yrs old.

And Last but not least we had Allyssa's 14th birthday yes that is right she is 14 yrs old. I can't believe it. She is awesome, she is doing great in school and is involved in alot of things at school.We are very lucky to have her as a daughter.

Ok I did it again well start at the bottom if you want to read this in order these are som pictures at the Tautphaus Zoo in Idaho Falls. It is not a big zoo but it is fun Issy thought the goats were stinky, but they had fun feeding them.

These two pictures are at the Snake River with the Idaho Falls temple in the background. It was a beautiful day a little windy and chilly by the river but beautiful. Bryan and I got to go do sealings in the temple the night before. It was probably the best sealing session we have been to the sealer was great. We were doing family names for another couple that was there. We did about 75 names it was amazing and tiring.

Ok so I forgot that if you want these in order then you have to do them backwards, anyway as many of you know our big news this summer and fall has been our new van so all those who have not seen it here are pics we took of our first trip in our new van. 2 weeks after we bought it we decided to take a trip to Idaho Falls. It was a great ride.This is Issy she was so excited to go to Idaho.

This is the inside of the van their are six captains chairs two up front and four in the back and then a bench seat in the back yes the kids all have their own seats so they aren't fighting, the seats are all leather and they all have their own controls including seat warmers. We can fit 10 people in here, no we are not making an annoucement we are done having kids but we wanted something that we could take friends with us if we wanted to and something that was comfortable to travel in. and it is comfortable. It has a turtle top I can stand up straight in the the back and can I just say I love having the extra storage especially when we go places. We had a blast in Idaho. Allyssa, Mackey and Timothy don't they look happy.

This is the outside and for all those who know cars, this has a v10 engine it does not get good gas milage but oh is it comfortable to ride in.

Well, hello everyone. Wow, it sure has been a very long time since the last update. I suppose you have all been wanting to hear how our Christmas went...and our New Year's. Well, it went just like this...

We woke, very early in the morning (to the smell of fabulous ham, yum), and all rushed to open our presents. As you see here...

Then, mom (because this is Allyssa writing) went in and created a meal worthy for a king. Thank you mommy.

And we ate...

Issybelle loves the Panda she got.

We then proceeded to Salt Lake where we spent the day and Grandma and Grandpa Tomlin's house. But first, we went to Grandma and Grandpa Smith's house.

Joshie, showing her true color. Love you Josh!

Kellie. It's quite funny because both me and Britney got almost the same exact picture though we were at their house at completely different times.

Now Grandma...

Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Tomlin's house. A few pictures to describe our time there...

Can't forget Mackey's B-Day. He got a K'NEX rollercoaster. It's so cool.

So, New Year's Eve, we went over to the Beasley's. We played games, and ate. That is pretty much all. So I'm going to post these picture, and I know Michele wanted to, so sorry Michele, I tried to send them to you, really, but it wouldn't work.

Steve with his amazing hair-do. He really hated the game we were playing.

Ahah! Now I have proof!


And that was our holiday. Thank you, and please toon in next time, which will hopefully be sooner than later.

Hey everyone I finally got pictures to download so I wanted to show you all the fun we have been having since school started. This first picture is Timmy getting his Bobcat at his first Pack meeting healso got several other things to he was so excited.

Allyssa being brave letting Issy paint her nails, when they got done it was all over Allyssa's hands but they sure had fun. For like two weeks we had to paint nails almost everyday it was a blast.

Issy frequently goes over to the neighbors and gets their trike she finally mastered it so I decided to get her on camera she is so cute when she rides it. We are thinking of getting her one for her birthday.

My two beautiful girls aren't they adorable!!!!

This is at the Halloween Party we had at Mom's and Dad's Issy is wearing the pink wig that I wore for my costume. She is supposed to be a kitty.

Issy and JuJu had a great time together at the party they loved teasing Grandpa and this was where they would go to hide it was really cute, we are so glad we have cousins to play with.

Carving Pumpkins my kids couldn't decide on a pattern so they each decided on a part of the face Mackey is carving the nose, Timmy with the help of Grandpa did the eyes, and Allyssa did the mouth. We won the contest for most original.It was very cute I cant believe I didn't get a picture of the finished product.

Halloween this is the kids before trick or Treating, yes their is an extra kid It is my sisterinlaw's son Logan he is Mario, Mackey is dracula, Allyssa is Goth, Issy is a Kitty, and Timmy is Darth Vader. The kids had a really good time, and Issy is still asking if she can go Trick or treating. She loved it.

And last of all is Mackey he decided he wanted to enter the Reflections contest this year so he drew a wonderful picture of a Dragon it was great, anyway he didn't win but all the participants recieved a certificate and ribbon.

Ok so I decided time to update but I couldn't get my pictures to download so I just decided that I would put some pictures that I thought were cute. We are doing great so far no sickness, hopefully it stays that way. Allyssa had her 13th birthday last Monday, yes that is right I have a teenager in the house. She was very quick to remind me that in two years she will get to start driving. Yes for all who don't know they let the kids get their learners permit when they are 15 now. I know scary but hopefully that makes them better drivers. The kids are doing well in school, they all seem to really like their teachers. I have just been doing the crossing guard and I babysit a little girl during the day so we stay busy.

These first two pictures are of Mckenzie the little girl I tend, Issy , and Alex her best friend that lives next door. The city had come around this day to check the fire hydrants they let it run for about ten minutes so we decided to play in the puddles, doesn' t it look like fun. Oh to be a kid again.

These next two pictures are of Allyssa playing Softball this is the Allstar game she played in she is the best catcher ever. I wish that her Assistant coach had not ruined it for her. They almost won this game but the Assistant coach got in a fight with one of the parents and the the umps ended up calling the game before Allyssa's team could have last ups or they probably would have won. It was very upsetting for Allyssa, the cops ended up having to be called. And in the end the assistant coach is now band from all parks in Roy City.

Two cute cousins. We sure had fun with Ben and Katie and their kids when they came for a visit in August. This is Issy and Dani, they seemed to have a lot of fun together. We sure miss you guys and can't wait to see you again.

Well anyway it has been an eventful couple of months and now the Holidays are upon us and I am sure it is going to be fun. We wish you all a Happy Halloween.
