Fall favorites!

Sydney and Morgan messing around at school....

Mike and the girls love to go to the haunted house, Nightmare on 13th every year. Mike started the girls out really young. The first time he took each of them, they would call me afterward crying. But, they aren't scared of this stuff at all! Brandon has not gone yet. It's a sore spot in our family! ha ha!

Here's Mike with Sydney and Morgan and some weird pumpkin dude

Brandon's team warming up on the Clearfield High field...it's pretty sweet...

We took Brandon and two of his football buddies to the Davis game one night. He had a blast!

Brandon, Jacob McBride and Hudson Breau

Amanda and her favorite teacher....not sure that is his handwriting though...

Amanda and her dance friends at the Davis game

One of the girls took this picture of the leaves starting to change (last year!)

One day, Chez and Amanda decided to switch up their skiing and snowboarding! Amanda has skied before and she said it wasn't hard to get back to it. Chezney never had snowboarded, but did really well!

Amanda and Chez

Amanda went to the REAL Salt Lake game with her friends, AK, Addie and Chad...

Chain gang.....

That's our cutie! Another picture of Amanda and Kes and below Brando!

More ear tubes for Brandon!

About the second week of school, we noticed Brandon wasn't hearing very well. Back to Dr Kelley we went and yep, time for tubes again...ugh.

So, we made a quick appointment for Primary Children's hospital. Dr Kelley put in "teenager tubes" this time so they should last a little longer. They are bigger and thus there is an opportunity for a hole to form that doesn't close up, but Brandon seems to need the help hearing, so we ok'd the tubes. Above, he was still out of it. Below: coming out of it better with his nice farmer's tan from summer fun!

Finally we got him up and dressed. He was still groggy, but this was his 4th set of tubes. We are so grateful we live now where there is something that can be done for him! He's done great ever since. Even went to football practice the next day. What a trooper!

Amanda's birthday

Happy Birthday Amanda!

Above is a recreated photo...I'll find the original....it's pretty close!

Mike & Amanda went down to President's circle at the U when Sportcenter's Game Day came to town!

Grandpa and Scott met them there.....

There is alway a BYU Sucks sign....no, we weren't playing BYU....

Kevin Jergensen.....also huge U fan! And his son, Johnny, slept overnight at President's Circle so he could be in the 'pit' area....

Our 17 year old!
She went with me to pick up her Backer's Cake. When the kids were little and we all went together, I would let them get a cookie. They always pick the gingerbread girls or gingerbread boys...
