November Sneaks By

In November - we started out with a great visit to the Marins. They made us tons of meat in true Argentine fashion and then afterwards, the Marin band played a few songs for us. What a neat night!

The Young Women Class 1 have been having a great month. Here we are as secret service girls in hand crafted pink hats.

Kate goes to Red Rodeo.

Graham has his football banquet. The coaches say nice things about him.

I go help out at Deseret Manufacturing. I also got to take Louisa. Because she just arrived from Venezuela - we tried to speak in Spanish to communicate. That was a big stretch for me, but good practice.

We hosted the Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. We had my sisters and their families, the Marins and Kathy and Gary. Very exciting and fun day!

Here we all are!! (except Chad, who is too sick to join us and upstairs sleeping).

 

We watched BYU soccer have the craziest comeback ever in the elite 8 vs North Carolina. We were down 0-3, but BYU women really turned it on in the 2nd half! they scored in the second half, and then with 10 minutes left, scored 3 more times! We won 4-3. Here we are cheering them on!!!

Audrey and I went on a little hike with Nicole up the Bell Canyon trail. What a beautiful morning!!!

October is beautiful

 

Here is Graham's concussion look. This is how he weathered his football game. He was water boy for a couple weeks.

Going to a BYU football game. We won! This was the game against Cincinnati, our first Big 12 home game.

Graham finally makes it to a football game. This week he brought Carter.

We went on a drive after Conference. Here we are going up the Alpine Loop. It was so beautiful. We did a little hike with the dogs, also.

Graham gets stitches from a school accident. He fell in PE and cut his let open. We didn't tell football coaches about this because he had missed so much football!

Graham finally plays some football! Here his is white jersey #95 vs Park City, 4 overtimes!!

tackling the running back, red jersey #95. He is great at defense, and he loves it!

Einstein's first grooming appointment. He looked like a cute teddy bear afterwards.

Fall doggy sweaters :)

Kate has two bed ornaments now. How cute.

Here the dogs are wearing their jackets.

Graham only got to play in one lacrosse game, the last one of the year. They won! 

Saturday football games were at the same time as lacrosse.

And, then Graham got another concussion in the semifinals vs Grantsville A team. The guy blocking him was going for his head and face mask. His injury came on a play where his helmet came flying off. What a bummer. The team lost, no more football, but he can't go to school yet, trying to recover, again!

Kate and I took some girls to the Taylor Swift "Concert" at movie theatres. It was really fun!

Chad and I went on an outing to the Maze. What a interesting place. Here is our camp site below standing rock. 

This was our view! Pretty amazing! We never saw another human for over 48 hours!!

Halloween! Doggy costumes!
