Lindsey's new violin!

Lindsey decided she wanted to play the violin and join the elementary school orchestra.  We decided to buy a used violin and found this Suzuki beauty on KSL.com.  We drove to Ogden to pick it up and Lindsey couldn't wait to give it a try and pulled it out as soon as we got in the car.  I enjoyed her enthusiasm and attempt as exploring her instrument the whole way home!

Gordon Van Tassell and Tyson

Gordon Van Tassell has been a good friend to Tyson.  Their family has always had a soft spot in their heart for him!  Gordon was his scout leader buddy and they spent time together on some scout nights doing chores and playing with the animals on the farm.  Tyson saw Gordon at church and somehow convinced him to invite him over.  Gordon took him for several hours and as you can see from the picture, he had a wonderful time!  We have truly been blessed with so many that help us carry the load of raising this special boy!

Halloween Dance

Just as last year,  Kyle was asked twice on the same night to the same dance.  We made the rule that the first to ask gets the guy.  Hard to be so handsome and have the eye of the ladies, right Kyle?

Avalanche

Lindsey made the Avalanche girls competitive soccer team.  She gets to play with her BFF Skye.  It has been a  good experience and has challenged her!

Happy 19th Birthday Megan!

We went down to Provo and took Megan to dinner at the Brick Oven for her birthday!
