Autumn Leaves and Apollo Anton Ohno?

Last night we decided to take a leisurely Sunday drive up the canyon to see the autumn leaves. Miles kept saying that he hadn't seen any red, orange, yellow or brown leaves, only green. The drive was really gorgeous and we finally appeased Miles desire to see leaves that had changed colors.

When we got near the top we got out to walk around a bit, when a car pulled up next to us. Out hopped Apollo Anton Ohno and his girlfriend to take a little nature hike. Scott and I are huge fans, so before we left we drove up the road a bit to where they were walking and asked for a couple of pictures. He was incredibly nice and down to earth and chatted with us for a few minutes. So, forgive the 8 1/2 month, puffy, pregnant picture of me with no makeup and sweats, because I got to meet Apollo.:)

Scott's 40!!!

The big day finally came - much to Scott's chagrin. Fortunately, he had a fantastic birthday, which I think helped offset the pain of turning 40. On his actual birthday, he spent the morning having breakfast with his family, while the evening was spent 3rd row at the Jazz game. The next day, Scott spent the afternoon golfing with his brothers and closest buds, followed by dinner at Biaggi's with some of his dearest lifelong friends. Happy Birthday Scott! You will always be young at heart.

Keeping Busy

Miles has been playing t-ball and soccer this fall and it has been a real joy to watch his skills improve. I love to watch little kids play sports. The first picture is my absolute favorite, even though Miles isn't even in it. This is what his team was doing during their time in the field. It made me laugh . . . too adorable.

"Nap" Time

Here are a couple of pictures showing what Tate decided to do during "nap" time. Apparently, if you pull all of the tissues out of a giant box of Kleenex, it makes a really soft and fun pile to play in. Both of the boys enjoyed the fruits of Tate's labors.

1st Day of Kindergarten

So today was Miles' first day of Kindergarten. Last night was a restless night. Today, there were nerves and fears, and holding back tears. Sadly, that was all me.

Miles slept peacefully. He was not nervous or scared at all, just excited. In fact, he didn't even want me to walk him in, but rather drop him off. I, of course talked him into letting me escort him to class for his first day, but he was thrilled to be there and not at all sad to say good-bye. That made me very happy to see. Here's to a great year Miles!

P.S. You can see from the pictures that Tate got in on all of the action. He was not at all pleased when Miles went in to class, and he didn't get to go as well.

Bridal Shower

My little sister is getting married! Her work threw her a fun bridal shower while my Mom was in town recently, so that my Mom could be in attendance. My sister works with a great group of people. Quite a few people from her fiance' Cory's family came as well. Throw in her best friend from high school, Anaika, my Mom and me, and well, you have yourself a party.:)

Really excited for you Heidi!

Brown Belt

Miles just recently received his brown belt in Taekwondo. So proud of him!!!
