Happy Birthday Bethany!

Bethany wanted a Halloween party so I made her this cute cake.

Can you tell that she has brothers?  Bethany added these fine finishing touches.  Notice the tiny yellow ninja that has decapitated all the other people.  Apparently the cake wasn't sufficiently spooky enough without a little gore...

We decorated the house with streamers.  Bethany drew lots of scary Halloween pictures.  

Presents!

Carrot Cake, Yum!!

Bethany's favorite gift was of course her new blue bike!  Bethany has rejected hot pink except in very small quantities.  I had to search all over for a girl's bike that wasn't pink.

Back to School!

 Everyone was excited to go back to school after a long summer vacation. We moved Camille to BYU.  Bethany started 2nd grade with Maestra Zelaya and Ms. Hales. She is learning spanish in the Dual Immersion program.  Carter started 6th grade with Mr. Buell, and Ryan started 8th grade at the middle School.  Bethany and Carter were excited to show off their new backbacks!

Grammy and Pa and Mike's and Stephanie's family came to visit over Labor day weekend.  Most of the boys went hiking in the Uinta mountains.  The rest of us decided to hang out at home and not brave the pouring rain.  Fortunately for the hikers it stopped raining just as they arrived and started again when they finished.

 Ryan loves his new hoodie.

 Camille loves her little cousins!

Bethany started a ballet/jazz class this year. She loves to dance around the house in her new leotard! Bethany was feeling really shy before class started, but after class she said "It was great!"
