Derek's Tackle Football year has ended!

 

 

 

This was Derek's first year playing Tackle Football. He had a great first time experience! He started off playing quarterback, and then about middle of the season they moved him to full back and tight end on offence. He also played outside line backer and defensive end on defence. Derek's favorite game was against Pine View in S.T.George, because he threw a touch down pass that helped them win the game. He also loved that game because he had his best tackle of the season while playing defence. He can't wait until next football season!

These are some of the pictures we took on Halloween. The kids rock climbed, and jumped around inside a water bubble. They loved these activities!

Trick or Treat?

 

 

 

 

This is how our Halloween Day went. Derek had a football game in Mesquite in the morning. After the game we came home and got in costumes for our subdivision Halloween party at the Evan's house. After the party the kids Trick or treated around our subdivision. Conner pulled Alexa and Austin in their wagon. It was like they had died and gone to heaven! They held their candy buckets and ate what ever they wanted while Conner pulled them around! Then the kids wanted to go up to the Fair Grounds where Parks and Recreation had planned games, trunk or treat, and food. While we were there the oldest 4 kids rock climbed, ate, and jumped around inside a plastic bubble that was on top of water. The kids loved this activity! Around 7:30 pm we headed over for some donuts and hot chocolate at the Anderson's home. They do a big fire in their front yard every year on Halloween, and give out chili, donuts, and hot chocolate. Last of all, we went home and let Alexa,Sydney, and Cameron hand out candy to all the trick or treaters. I took a picture of Alexa and Sydney sitting on the ground next to our front door. They had a big bowl of candy, and were anxiously awaiting the next group of trick or treaters. (I think they enjoyed giving the candy away, as much as receiving it. The rest of us decided to watch a movie and chill out! It was a fun, and exhausting Halloween!

Pumpkin carving time

 

 

 

 

The kids wanted to carve pumpkins, so while Conner and Derek were at football practice Steve helped the kids carve pumpkins. They had so much fun drawing different faces on the pumpkins. They also thought it was cool when the candles lit up the jack-o-lantern faces.

Fun at Stahelie's Farm in S.T. George

 

 

 

 

Preston(my nephew) was doing a fund raiser for his school in S.T.George. They were selling family passes to Staheli's farm. The pass included pizza and drinks. We went with the Creager family and my parents. Megan and Coral(my nieces) also were with my parents. The kids had a blast. We rode on a trailer with hay out to the corn maze, saw pig races, and let the kids play on all the equipment. They rode on the swinging horses, swung on tire ropes, rode in wagons, and climbed hay stacks. It had been raining a few day before, and their was mud everywhere. All the kids had to take off their shoes before getting in the car to go home! Getting the mud off the shoes was not as much fun!

Pumpkin Patch at the Ag Farm

 

 

 

 

The local agriculture farm in Overton had over 2,000 pumpkins this year. Both Elementary schools in the valley chartered a bus, and took all students to the farm. While at the farm they chose their own pumpkin, wrote their name on it, and had a worker cut it off the vine for them to take home. The farm also donated ice-cream to each school. Steve brought Austin and Alexa over to go on the field trip with my class. It just so happened that Derek was at the farm with his class the same time my class was there. Alexa decided to pick her nose during the picture, and Austin was asleep so this was the best picture we could come up with.
