Heidi Makes the A Team (in volleyball)

Heidi tried out for the 7th grade volleyball team at her school. There were so many girls that wanted to try out so they had 2 teams. We were so proud that Heidi was able to make the team she wanted. She started playing volleyball about a year and a half ago and has totally loved it. During volleyball season she eats and sleeps it. Her team did ok this year with winning about half their games but Heidi was glad she got to play and it helped her get ready for the Club tryouts. She made the 13 Silver team for Club Idaho and can hardly wait until that starts in January. Go Heidi!!!!!

Eric and the BLUE THUNDER soccer team

We decided to put Eric in YMCA soccer this fall. His team was named the Blue Thunder! I wondered how he would do and was pleasantly surprised. He had fun and in the last game he scored a goal. It was the craziest shot/goal ever. He was so far on the side and when he kicked it there was no way it was going in but the angle was just perfect. Unfortunately I was in shock as much as him and missed taking the priceless picture of his "Oh my gosh, I scored a goal" face. At the end of the season he had a pizza party and got his very cool bobble trophy. His team was made of both girls and boys and all were just great. They had a pretty good season with only 1 loss. I hope he continues to get out there and do new and fun things!!!

The Liar

Meagan was cast as Beatrice in the Eagle High School's performance of "The Liar". She was so excited to be at EHS and finally get to audition in a play that wasn't so far away. Beatrice is on of 2 sisters who like the new guy in town who is of course the liar. She already has a beau but likes the excitement of this new one. In the end all come to realize the new guy is just a liar. It was pretty funny and Meagan had tons of fun making new friends and getting to do one of the things she likes to do best, ACT!!!!!! This is her and her sister. This is her and her beau. This is the entire cast and then of course the exciting we are done pose. Keep breaking a leg Meagan!!! Can't wait to see you in your next show!

Carving Pumpkins

This year everyone had their own idea of how they wanted their pumpkin to be just perfect. They researched out patterns so that they could have the coolest pumpkin. By far the coolest pumpkin this year was the Emma-O-Lantern. The year the children turn 10 years old is when David carves their face into a pumpkin. It always looks so cool. Heidi made an owl sitting on a twig. Emma did a very surprised pumpkin. Meagan did HP for Harry Potter and Eric wanted to do a scary pumpkin. Overall the pumpkins all turned out very cool and fun.
