Steve and Me. Kaylea says I need to keep my blonde Farrah Faucett hairdo. We had a lot of fun spending the evening together. The food was great, it was an entertaining evening, and I really enjoyed seeing Steve in an AFRO. Did everyone really dress this weird in the 1970's? 
Kaylea struggled to stand on the board, Adam tried to help her, which was NOT successful. She's athletic in most sports... flowboarding is not one of them.
Body boarding was a little bit better for her, but it was still comical to watch her.
Steve goes a little more often than Kaylea, he spent most of his time trying to perfect some tricks on his board... which lead to this...
Conner could stay on a body board for 10 minutes or more, but it was fun to see him actually stand on a board for a short period of time. He's quite the athlete.
I think he enjoyed hanging out with his cousins.
Here's the after shot, they're a little bit water-logged, but it was well worth it.
The team consisted of Dallin, Gina, Susanne, David, Jamie (a great support person), Brent, and Shayla in van 1.
Jessica, Amber, Kaylea, Lee, Erin, Jamie (a great support person), and Ericka in van 2. It sounds like they had a VERY fun time, and many of the other 32 grandchildren and 103 great-grandchildren are talking about running it again next year.
Just some cute pictures of Steve's chipmunk cheek. I love when the kids get out their wisdom teeth.
He was halarious when he was coming out of the anesthesia. He kept trying to stand up and leave, he was chewing on the gauze like bubble gum, and the nurse finally had to take it out of his mouth because she was afraid he would chew his tongue. Normally Steve is really reserved, and polite. I don't think I've seen him so lively and obnoxious EVER! He kept saying "I'd be a really bad drunk!" The doctor tried to come and talk with us, and every time he would start talking, Steve would crack a joke really loud, or interrupt whoever was talking.
Here is Kaylea's, it reminds me of something in "Nightmare before Christmas." It has pins for teeth, and multiple eyes like a fly. It has stitches on the face with blood for just the right effect. The hair is just a matted up mess.
And here's a close up of Conner's. A little bit morbid. It's covered in blood, with a large knife sticking out the side of its head. Notice the braces, whiskers on the chin, and if you scroll back up to the top picture, his has crazy hair too...Should this worry me???
Or should I save my concern for this gem? It's hard to see anything beyond the blood on this one!
No, these knives are not on my front porch, but I did let him keep them in for the pictures... We did have a fun evening, and these will definitely add to the halloween spirit in my home.
This was Kaylea's last race, and last chance to qualify for State. She has had a pretty good running year, she has set a few goals and has been able to reach them.
Steve and I can see at the beginning of the race how well Kaylea will do...when she has that FIRE in her eyes, we always know it will be a memorable race. Today she had that fire... and it was her best race of the entire season.
The top 10 runners get medals and go to state. Kaylea was in 8th place. She has been trying all season to break 20 minutes. Today she made it in 19:53. She ran this race at the beginning of the season and today shaved her time by 3 minutes!
And dad is VERY proud!!!
Steve thinks mom's a freak!!! I pull out my camera at the weirdest times! We went shopping for suits today, it was so fun!
He will look so handsome. It was a little bit embarrassing; we had the whole family come and watch him pick everything out. In fact, each of us picked out our favorite tie for him to buy.
Trying on some nice Missionary shoes. Don't they look nice? Once he gets the suit tailored, I'll post pictures of him all dressed up. I did pretty well, I only felt like crying a little bit.
One night at the Salt Lake Temple... Steve's first time.
Two days of General Conference.
