Jarrett's 10th Birthday!

A decade old - can't believe it. He celebrated with friends, food, movie, gifts, and a donut tower!

Monticello Visit

We made a quick trip to Monticello to visit family for a family reunion. Regan's dad's side of the family gathered for food and reminiscing. While there, Wendy ran a 10K race in Canyonlands with some family members. It was a beautiful day and fantastic race. Wendy finished 13/76 runners, 1st in her age division (25-39 years), with a run time of 45:23, her best 10K time!


Denver Zoo

Halloween
We celebrated on Saturday by going to our community center and then to the church for "trunk-or-treat". The kids all got a load of candy! On Sunday night we had the kids dress back up for pictures and with all the lights out we watched a halloween movie while eating treats and candy. It was a fun night.

September 2010

Labor Day - Wendy ran the American Discovery Trail Half Marathon for the third year in a row. This was her best time yet, 1 hour 44 minutes! She was 2/45 in her age division, 9/235 women, 61/467 overall.


Hike in Monument - Beautiful day for a hike with the family. As we were leaving, after being warned of a bear nearby, we saw the bear saunter over to the pond we had just passed and watched him get in for a swim. Glad we didn't cross paths!


FOOTBALL SEASON! Go Firebirds! Brandon #80!


It was an undefeated season for the 7th grade football team, 8-0. They outscored their opponents 178 to 28. Brandon played in each "A" team game. He was given the "Goal Setting" award: His goal, to have 3 interceptions during the season. Brandon's stats: 20 tackles, 1 strip with fumble recovery, and 1 interception (during the last game). He played corner back, back-up wide receiver, was on the kick off team, and extrapoint team. He had a great season - Way to go!

August 2010

Back to school! Brandon is a 7th grader, Jarrett is in 4th grade, and Trey is in 2nd grade. Katie is doing "preschool" with Wendy 3 days a week - just some structured activities for fun.

Brandon is on the 7th grade football "A" team. This is his practice jersey. Practices are 5 days a week. Games start next month.

Jarrett and Trey's first day of school.

We went to WaterWorld for Wendy's dad's annual company picnic - boy was that fun! The kids had been looking forward to it for a year (since we left last year's picnic).

We weren't able to go camping in the mountains, but we had a great campout in our very own backyard (benefits included no driving time, no packing, no coolers, indoor bathrooms, Wendy could go running, and easier cleanup). We all slept in the tent, cooked dinner and s'mores on the grill and ate breakfast and lunch outside.
