HSM3

The kids have been wanting to go and see High School Musical 3 ever since it came out. We told them they needed to earn it by doing some extra chores around the house and being nicer to one another. It is amazing how good they can be when there is a great prize at the end. We only wish they could always be nice and helpful. We had a good time. Jared wasn't too interested in the movie, so he went and played with a friend - Thanks, Angela.

Northern Exposure 10K and 2 mile run

Yesterday Randy ran in the Northern Exposure 10K and Travis decided to try and run the 2 mile course. They both did GREAT! Randy beat his time from last year, and was very happy with his time, especially since he didn't really train at all for this. Last year Travis had said he wanted to run with his dad next time, so this year we asked if he really wanted to run. He said yes even though he has never run more than 1 mile. He was very excited!!! He had a lot of fun and wants to do it again. Next year Jared wants to join them. Randy might have to do the 2 mile run instead of the 10K because Jared would need someone with him.

We had fun waiting for Randy and Travis. They were giving free balloons away and had some entertainment to keep us occupied. It was a fun way to spend the morning.

Flat Daisy at Red Rock

We were honored to have a visit from the female version of Flat Stanley, Flat Daisy. She is visiting from Tuscon, Arizona. She just came from Salt Lake City, Utah. If you aren't familar with Flat Stanley, it is a book written by Jeff Brown. Stanley was flattened one night when a bulletin board fell on him. He was only 1/2 inch thick. He wanted to go visit some friends in another state so his parents mailed him.We received Flat Daisy and decided it would be nice to let her know that there is more in Las Vegas than the strip so we took her us to Red Rock. It was a beautiful day up there and the kids all had fun hiking and showing her the natural beauty of Nevada. We hope Flat Daisy enjoyed her time here. We will now send her on to some other exciting adventure.

Happy Halloween

Last night was our ward's Trunk-or Treat activity. We had soup and rolls for dinner, and then the kids had a great time going around to all the cars collecting a bunch of candy. Everyone had a fun Halloween. Thanks to the Robisons' and their neighbors for letting our ward invade their cul-de-sac. I don't know what Jared is going to do now that all his exciting activities are done. I love his age, they get so excited for the holidays. He is already looking forward to Christmas.
