Conference, Soccer, and Friendly Goats

 We really enjoyed watching general conference last weekend

The cinnamon rolls weren't too bad either 



Nixon even got this puzzle done (with some help)


Sunday evening we all had a blast watching videos of the kids when they were young from old blog posts


I added handles to our kitchen cupboards and drawers


It only took 8 years ;)



Another picture of Kim hiking...



Nixon won AirPods at school and was pretty excited


It is cross country season


Nixon got second place in his grade at their first race


Mason is also running cross country


Kim also hiked Scotchman Peak last week




Beautiful views


The goats were out in full force



In fact, the goats were so friendly that they couldn't make it all the way up















Here is a video of their trip


Playing some basketball with Lyza


Mason did really well at his soccer game last Saturday



Nixon worked really hard


The fall views are so beautiful


I got to go to Henry's game and he was so cute!


Take care!

The Last Two Weeks

Kim made us a rhubarb crisp a couple weeks ago for desert and it was scrumptious


These two got some Pokemon happy meals for dinner after soccer one evening


We had some excitement on our street early one morning with 10 emergency response vehicles. I sent the drone up to see what was happening.


This crab apple tree in front of our house was getting really overgrown so I cut it down to size with Nixon's help


Henry fell running home from school and face planted. If it was closer to Halloween, he could have dressed up as Mike Tyson ;)



On a Friday with no school, Kim took the boys hiking with some friends



What a cool dude




Kim and I went out for a dinner date and got some yummy tacos


This is Henry sleeping with Pokemon cards in his hand


Kim getting in an early morning run


Soccer last week went well


Nixon scored a great goal



He worked on his balance during a break



Mason also had a good game


He may have missed the ball but he sure tried hard



A life flight helicopter



Left to their own devices the kids do crazy things like gathering up all the pillows they can find and jumping off the top bunk



Henry got to see the eye doctor



We had a really misty morning this week so I flew the drone to see what it looked like from above


The sunrise was beautiful


Henry and Kim had a lunch date at Texas Roadhouse


That same evening we were treated to a stunning sunset so up again went the drone





Soccer yesterday was really cold. Here is Nixon checking out his cleats in between plays


Nixon worked really hard


Here are a few clips of Nixon playing, including his goal (at the end of the video)


Mason worked really hard for his game too (I didn't see Henry's game but I am told he worked hard and he was happy that his team won)


Mason has read a whole bunch of books and earned a date with Kim to the frozen yogurt place



That's it for now. Take care!
