Time for Some Change

Nixon and I stayed up late on a Saturday night to complete this puzzle together

Kim and I got to exercise our right to vote

It is time for some change and I am excited to see what happens

I got to see Lyza perform with a band comprised of multiple schools and it was a great concert. She also played the bass clarinet.

I was a proud dad

Kim and Lyza had matching styles for church last week

Last Sunday our ward had its primary program and the boys all did so well. Nixon even got to sing a short solo.

Henry has been taking his scripture reading pretty seriously

Fun game of Clue

This week we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese to finish off Henry's birthday party (2 and a half months late ;)

Lyza had a stake youth activity at the roller skating rink this week

Henry smashed this protein drink 

We had out first snow fall last night. It didn't last long but it was a sign of things to come

I woke up this morning to a very complex fort courtesy of Mason and Henry

They were good friends this morning

Have a great week

Family Pictures and Halloween

We got to attend Hannah and Christian's wedding in July and we just recently got to see their professional photos. They got so many really nice photos. Here are just a few of them with our family in.

We got our family photos back this last week and we are happy to have updated photos to share

A couple Sundays ago we went down to the beach to enjoy some warm (for the time of year) weather

The boys had some friends down there they enjoyed playing with

Lyza has been trying the bass clarinet

Henry had a couple of days where he was really into building with Lego and this is one of his creations

We had our ward trunk or treat the week before Halloween

Mason was an adorable king

Last weekend we did some couch shopping. This was the first store when we were still enjoying ourselves. We don't feel this way anymore about couch shopping...

The boys loved playing on these things in the store

Henry went to a friend's birthday party at the fire station

That night we went to a high school state championship soccer game

One evening Nixon made us dinner and he did an amazing job. It was the best impossible tuna pie ever!

We carved pumpkins together this last week

They turned out pretty good

We let the kids have some friends come over after school for some Halloween snacks

Henry has his first official piano lesson this week and his instructor couldn't stop talking about how well he did ;)

Kim got to help in Henry's class on Halloween for their party

She also got to help in Mason's class

Mason's class

Then Kim got to see the kids in their costume parade

We has mummy dogs for dinner on Halloween

King Mason

Ninja Henry

Nixon the Elf, aka "Buddy"

And Lyza "Wednesday" Addams

They were very excited to Trick or Treat and had a really fun evening

Nixon had a friend join him

Our pumpkins looking all spooky in the dark

This is some of the group we went around with

Lyza and I went to the temple together on Friday night

While we were there Mason was at a birthday party and Henry and Nixon were at Texas Roadhouse with Kim

I caught these two working out together yesterday morning

That's all for now. Have a good week!
