Fall Soccer

Spring soccer was canceled along with many summer activities, so we were SO thrilled to be able to have the kids play soccer this fall. The four older kids played and had great seasons.

Logan with the Kimble's daughter, Jubilee.

Scott made friends with a group of refugee boys, they all were passing the ball around the circle.



Austin and Ty playing together before their games.

The kids all had such fun seasons. We loved watching the kids play and cheering them on. Until next season!!

Camping + An Unusual Sighting

We went out to the sand dunes in late September for a camping trip. While we were there, a group of cosplayers (people who dress up for things like Comic Con) showed up to take some pictures. And they were Star Wars characters!!

All of the characters were so kind and willing to take pictures with all of the kids.


Han Solo (the young one)


Boba Fett

The Mandalorian

Queen Amidala



The boys loved shooting their guns






 Marian and Cody came out with us too. It was a great camping trip!

Fall Randoms + a Dangerous Hike

The kids love playing out front now that the weather has gotten wild. Things have been up and going a bit more as far as coronavirus goes, but with fall, things are hinting at shutting down again. 


We had a leak in our bathroom from our washer upstairs. It was a mess to say the least, but we got it dried out, cleaned up, and replaced. It is nice that we are learning how to do some of these things.


Logan loves playing games. He and mom play games a lot of days.

Jeff is still working at home. Everyone has gotten used to it and it is working out.

During conference, Logan loved doing this 500 piece BYU puzzle with everybody


Dad and his work set up

We had a few peaches this year, not as many as last, but still maybe 30 - 60


Dad took the three oldest kids on a hike and from the sound of it, it was a good thing Mom wasn't there to freak out about kids being safe.

First Day of School

The kids have all been out of school (or doing online school) since March. Everyone was SO excited to start back up again.

Kate is going into 8th grade (and yes, kids are required to wear masks at school)


Ty in second, Scott in 6th, Austin in 6th, Logan in preschool (wearing his favorite shirt)


Ty has Ms. McDougal

Scott has Mr. Kjar (pictured Porter, Scott, Josh, Ryker)


Austin started in Ms. James' class, but moved to Mr. Kjar's so Austin and Scott could quarantine together if the time came.

Logan goes to Miss Kathryn's for preschool (Dad likes to call her Miss Kathryn Blanket)




 The kids have been SO happy in school this fall. We keep hoping it will last without getting canceled when Coronavirus cases pick up in the fall.
