Nine months in pictures

Ice Skating at the ice sheet.  Notice the curling targets, this is where the olympic curling took place.  They give curling lessons and have leagues, I  may be interested.

Grandpa Sorensen's Funeral.  These are my dad's brother and sisters (minus Randy who was sick in the hospital.  Now passed on with my grandma and grandpa)

 Some of the cousins and sister (no, Jamie is not nursing)

    Baby cousins:  Sammy, Garrett, Ginger, Dallin.

 Hiking with Dad

Ogden Valley and Pineview Resevoir

Back to Fallon
Weinie roast at the flats (I don't remember it being such a dirty place as a kid)  Ashley and Abbey

 The two boys:  Dallin and Garrett

 Day trip to Donner memorial:  On the way back to Reno I was so hungry the thought of eating my family didn't seem like such a bad idea.

 Donner Lake

 I couldn't keep Garrett out of the water so I finally just took off his clothes. 

Back to Ogden
We took the gondola up to the top of snow basin and did the short hike to the top of the peak with the Prisbreys

Family reunion in Heber City
Theater room/girl headquarters

 minute to win it games

 hot tub

 Wish I would have taken more pictures of the reunion, I did a horrible job in that department.

School starts

 Abbey's walk to her first day of first grade

 Mylie's in pre-school

 I ran the Top of Utah half Marathon 2hrs 12 min.  (I wish I could say those were nursing boobs, but I was done months before the race.)

 Fall Soccor.  Mylie #4

 I don't know where the camera was for Abbey's game so heres the best pic of her in her uni.

Hogle Zoo

Can you spy the Gorilla?

 Mylie wanted to learn to ride a bike without training wheels (her idea)...

 ...5 minutes later

 Garrett doing what he does best.
In the heat vent

 Obviously that child lock doesn't work

 Practicing for his career as a contortionist.  Hoping to work as a street performer in Vegas one day.

 Sweet

 Happy Birthday Garrett!
Balls out Party

Halloween

 Yoda, Dorthy and a Fairy

 Yoda wouldn't keep his hat on so for pictures we had to hold his arms down.

 Trick-or-Treat

 Jazz Game

Abbey got a hug from big T Baily

 She was also afraid of heights.  (both terrible pictures, I know, but you get the idea.)

See ya in 6 months

Happy Birthday, Mylie

Blowing out the candles on her lady bug cake.

 

Did you know that four year olds don't wear pull-ups to bed anymore, and four year olds don't bite their baby brother's cheeks anymore, four year olds also brush their own teeth, and four year olds can pick up their baby brother and walk around with him?

Mylie...

Gives the best hugs

Strong willed

Loves dresses

Compassionate

Scared

Dainty

Crazies

Do you ever think your kids do silly things?  Here are just a few those moments in our family.

This is what is called "going through the tunnell". 

Thisis what's called "putting your foot in your mouth".

This is what's called "going on a pic-nic"...

...apparently they only brought food for the ants.

This is what is called "emptying the dishwasher"  (when the girls empty the dishwasher, I have them stack the dishes that belong in the above cupboards on the counter, they think its funny to make towers out of them.)

This is what is called "sleeping". 

 Sometimes on weekends we let Abbey and Mylie have a sleepover downstairs.  They watch a movie and sleep in their sleeping bags.  This is where they chose to sleep last weekend.  I'm pretty sure there wasn't much sleeping going on.

Garrett was a little jealous of their sleepover so he had one of his own.

He's a Fan

As a result of last nights buzzer-beater against the Cav's...






The Jazz picked up a new fan.






He will be cheering them on at his first game in the Energy Solutions Arena tomorrow night.  Go Jazz!

Quote from Brandon a week ago "Have you ever hated your favorite team?"

Quote from Brandon last night "When you're doing what is right on and off the court the Lord steps in and majic happens"  (some of you may recognize this quote, any BYU fans want to guess who Brandon stole that one from?)

Those two quotes pretty much sums up this Jazz season.

Other cute photos of the little fan.
