First Snow...Primer Nieve

YEAH SNOW....it's not so bad in October when it isn't freezing. However we were in t-shirt and shorts less than a week ago. WE got dressed and went out to enjoy it before it melted. Even Buff was having fun with the snow. Snowballs, sleds and snowboards---eating it too. ( I think it is okay if it is fresh and no footprints, right?)

YUPI..NIEVE!!!! No es tan mal en Octubre cuando no esta helado afuera. Sin Embargo...andabamos en poleras y shorts menos de una semana. Nos vestimos y salimos a jugar pronto....antes de que el nieve se derritia. Tobagan, snowboard y comiendo nieve (creo que esta bien cuando esta recien caida, cierto?)

Jack-o-lanterns Calabazas de Halloween

We went to buy pumpkins this year and the place we went to had huge...HUGE...pumpkins. The kids had a blast cleaning and carving thier Jack-o-lanterns.

Fuimos a comprar las Calabazas y todos lo que tenian fueron SUPER GRANDES. Los ninos lo pasaron bien haciendo su calabazas para Halloween.

FALL...Otono

It has been a warm fall and we have loved it....Still perfect to play outside. This fall we went to Sundance for a few hours and took some pictures. Sam was able to go to Wheeler Farm and feed the ducks and go on a wagon ride. The kids played outside a lot...Madi took the picture of Jake jumping off the swing- perfect timing.

EL OTONO fue perfect este ano...ho hacia mucho frio entonces pudimos salir afuera todavia. Fuimos a las montanas y sacamos fotos en un lugar se llama Sundance (baile del sol). Lo pasamos bien. Sam fue a la granja con su clase de prescolar y dio comida a los patos y gansos. Andamos en bicicletas y en los columpios. Madi daco la foto de JAcob en el columpio---lo saco justo.

Soccer---Futbol

Jacob had a great season in Soccer and played some Awesome games. Of course I never had the camera with me or was too slow to catch the goals on film.

Jacob jugo futbol esta otono. Jugo super bien....aunque nunca tuve la camera conmigo o no estaba lista para sacar fotos de los goles.

Madison

Madison turned 7 this months..she's outgrown princesses so we did a glamour party. We did make-up and nails and dressed up and then just goofed around.. they all had a blast. Madi has a good group of friends.
Madison Cumplio 7 anos en Junio. No le gusta tanto las cosas princesa ahora entonces hicimos una fiesta de Divas. Se pintaron con maquillaje y se vestieron en ropa de divas y jugaron. Madison tiene buenas amigas.

The purse cake

Jake

Busy Spring for Jake. He participated in the Pinewood Derby for Cub scouts...designed his own car and did the painting and all. He didn't place but had fun just being there. His car is the Red, White and Blue one...same colors as Real Salt Lake...his favorite soccer team. Jake played Soccer again this Spring. He has a great coach and a good team. They did great this year. Jake made some great plays and scored some more goals. He and Carlos were able to go to a few Real games this year allready.. Jake loves soccer more than anything.

Jacob se participo en el Pinewood Derby de Cub Scouts (son autos hecho de madera donde los ninos hacen el diseno) el Auto de JAcob es Azul , Rojo y Blanco....lost colores de su equipo favorito - Real Salt Lake. Jacob tambien jugo futbol esta primavera. Tiene un buenisimo entrenador y tambien buenos jugadores. Jacob jugo bien en los partidos y tambien hizo unos goles. Carlos y Jacob fueron a unos partidos de Real Salt Lake. Jacob le gusta futbol mas que todo.

We took a trip to Arizona to see family and stopped by the Grand Canyon in the way home. It was a good getaway. It was a little cool, still lots of snow but only a handful of people...nice way to see the National Park























We also stopped by the Glen Canyon Dam and learned how it was built. IT is huge.













Then we stopped at Cove Fort, Utah and learned about it being a stop for travelers heading to St George, UT.

We also learned about the settlers there and how they had to be self sufficient and didn't waste anything. We have it too easy. It was a great trip.
