Spirit Awards

I got an email from each of the boys' teachers that they were getting surprise awards at the Spirit Assembly. They were both so happy to see us when they walked in and even more shocked when they were called up for the "Kindness Award."

More Catch Up

Darian played in her last high school state tournament on October 28th and 29th. We had so many people come out and support her, it was awesome! We are so proud of our girl!

She tied for 6th out of over 80 golfers!

Mexico - October 2011

Another fabulous trip down to Mexico with the Franklunds and the Tobins. I know it's a lot of pictures, but there were just too many cute ones! Somehow I don't have any of Siobhan though. She was dodging the camera. Next time Shiv!

I really wish Darian was in this!

The boys minus Eoin.

Beautiful family!

Hey Macarena!

Goofy brothers.

Awww!

The boys loved the hat Dustan bought!

Buddies on the pirate ship.

My monkeys.

Noah got some really cute pictures! I love this one!

I'm not sure if Wendy is really reading or asleep under that hat. :)

Mommy and Lukey swimming in the ocean.

The boys had a blast playing flag football.

It doesn't get much better than ice cream on the beach!

Caleb loves his Nolan!

Arizona State Fair - October 23, 2011

I'm playing a little bit of catch-up here. We braved the crowds and went to the fair for the first time in over 10 years. It was hot and expensive, but the kids had a blast!

Darian's Photos Project

I am in love with these pictures Darian took for her photos class! I'm kind of sad she isn't continuing after this semester, because I think she's really good.

Another Darian Article

Darian has been involved in the Best Buddy program since middle school. She just loves it and I love that she has such a sweet heart! Here's an article that featured her and her buddy, Dillon.
