Football Champs!

Peyton has been so excited to start tackle football. The season started out with the excitement of tryouts and the team draft.

Our team was so fun! The team moms went above and beyond with yard signs, banners, pizza parties, team shirts, and the list goes on.

Lexi and the player's little sisters were great cheerleaders!

Peyton played QB, Running Back and Linebacker.

Peyton had so many great friends on the team.

After a season filled with practices, film study, and many great games the Titans won the Championship!!

Lance had just as much fun as Peyton. He helped to coach with John Frank, who he played with at the U, and his friends Coach Fredrick and Coach Bennion.

Way to go Olympus Titans!

Halloween

Our Halloween was filled with all of our favorite October traditions. The school parade was complete with so many cute costumes.

The moms planned so many fun games and treats for the kid's class parties.

Decorating sugar cookies is always a favorite. Lexi couldn't wait to bite into her cookie creation.

We met up with the Rice cousins to see all the darling witches. Lexi dawned a pink wig just to add a little Halloween flare.

Kempton preferred the spider hat.

Every year the kids find their favorite witch "Witchy Poo."

We had an Olympic Ice Skater, Batman, and a Giraffe at our house.

We had a fun, busy Halloween with a neighborhood soup party, trick or treating and Aunt Lesli's awesome Halloween party to finish up our night of haunts.

Halloween Parties

The Rice family gathered for their annual pumpkin carving contest.

Complete with a bow and curly eyelashes, Lexi knew just how she wanted to decorate her pumpkin.

Peyton was awarded the silliest pumpkin.

Lexi was focused on winning the cutest pumpkin because she had her eye on the prize- a multicolor ribbon wand.

The Poole Party was full of games, food, and caramel apples.

Pumpkin Walk

Fall Fun

We all headed up to Logan for the USU homecoming parade and festivities.

Go Aggies!

Peyton and Lexi all dressed and ready for school picture day.

While Lance was out of town I took the kids to the corn maze. They had been in previous years during the day but wanted to go at night this year.

They had a lot of fun and frights along the way.

Kempton was great and followed along with the big kids.

We made it to the big center tower and then we found the quick way out. Peyton was a great navigator.

Happy 40th Anniversay

Happy 40th Wedding Anniversary to my mom and dad.

We all celebrated with a big party in their honor.

Everything from the food to the flowers was great!

The brother-in-laws are always ready for a party.

The kids got a kick out of watching the fire as the chef made the banana foster dessert.

My 89 year old Grandma Cleo wore the same dress she wore to their reception 40 years ago. We love Grandma Cleo!

My dad had a few surprises for my mom throughout the night. Cheers to them and another 40 years!

Dirty Dash

The neighborhood ladies had such a fun time running the Dirty Dash last year we decided to run again this year.

We met bright and early to head up to Soldier Hollow.

Some husbands and teenagers joined the group this year. The more the merrier in the mud!

We raced through mud pits, scaling walls, deep muddy swap, rope swing, giant mud slide, and 10 K run.

Back to School

The summer has come to an end and it is back to school at our house. The kids were anxiously awaiting the first day. Our neighborhood has a fun back to school breakfast the first morning back to school. I love it because it breaks the ice for the big day.

Lexi was supper excited and layed out her outfit the day before as little girls do. She was looking forward to eating lunch at school and being able to play on the lower playground.

Kempton had the biggest shocker of the day. He was looking for someone to play with all day. He was so excited when the kids got home from their first day.

Peyton was not as excited as Lexi for school to start because it meant the end of summer. He loved filling his days with baseball, swimming, and friends.

Peyton has a lot of fun friends in class with him. Hopefully, it will be a great school years for everyone!
