I cannot tell you how much fun it was to see Cordell run with the ball -

OOPS! I should introduce our dog Sage. We have had him since November 2001 and he really is part of the family. He goes camping and 4-wheeling with us most of the time and is a crazy but lovable dog. We love you Sage!

If you know us you know our family loves to camp and ride bikes! Here is some of our 4-wheeling trip - this particular picture is at 5-mile pass and is of Julian and Cordell. Fortunately Cord was in the mood to give him a ride -

We have camped a lot over the years and one of our favorite places to camp and 4-wheel is Vernon Reservoir - This picture shows our bikes at rest -

Emery played Soccer for the first time this year and Wow! can she throw in that ball. Callen was able to coach her a little so she was better prepared for it. She also started dance this fall and we can't wait to see the recitals - yeah Emery!

As you know Boyce turned 39 this year and he was hoping that he would receive one of his presents by his birthday but that didn't happen. But luckily it was worth the wait -

I was lucky enough to be team mom for Cordell's Football team and it was such an experience! I got to know each and every parent and child and I will miss them so much. I was even asked to be on the board of directors for Taylorsville Football League next year so we will see how that goes - Go Warriors!

Boyce had a tough and time consuming job this fall, coaching Cordell's Football team. Lucky for Cordell he was able to play tons but what a job for Boyce. He said he learned so much and I think all of us did during the Football season. He even had us do a tournament so it lasted even longer. I am glad that Boyce had this to focus on so that the other stuff lingering didn't seem so bad. He said he had so much fun and what a great experience it was for him. If fact it wasn't enough this year he wants to come back and do it again next year. Sick!

Mean while Cordell played his first year of Football this year and loved it. he was part of the Taylorsville Gremlins-Black team and it was so fun to watch - so intense but so fun. Cordell was able to run the ball a few times and learned so much. He even made his first interception which was so cool - yeah Cordell!

Julian started Pre-School this year at Calvin Smith and here is a picture of him going to School on his first day September 10, 2008 -
