Cousin's Photoshoot!

 We decided it would be a fantastic idea to get all the kids together and get pics of them together for their Grandparents for Christmas. They turned out so fun. We couldn't ask for more perfect pics, they are pretty priceless!

  This shot of the older girls is a favorite! They are all GORGEOUS!

 
  We thought it would be fun to have the kids bring something that represents who they are, something they like or a talent. LOVE IT!

This pic says it all, these 3 boys have to be tough to put up with all these girls!

Aquarium Visit

 We went to the Aquarium with the Stratton's a few weeks ago. The kids had a great time seeing all the penguins, fish, birds, reptiles, sharks, sting ray and all the other sea life. We went to a silly 3D movie and played in the play gym as well. The kids had a blast as always. It was a fun afternoon! Nov. 2015

 

 

 

 

Tyler's 5th Grade Happenings...

 Tyler was chosen to be the CEO of Chick-fil-A for his 5th grade field trip to JA City at Discovery Gateway. He had to give a speech at the Town Meeting in front of all the other 5th Graders. I was a volunteer parent so I got to listen to his great speech and also spend the day with him and his classmates. It was such a cool experience for the kids, it's a really neat opportunity for the kids to learn how people work together, how banking works and a little bit about running a business and earning and spending money. It was such a fun day, Tyler loved it!

 Tyler's school participates in the NOVA program for 5th Graders. It is a fun program they work on once a week with Officer Bybee, they learned about drugs, the community, staying safe and becoming a great citizen. They had a rocket contest, and had a lot of different activities each week. Each student had to write a "Proclamation" and Tyler was picked to read his at NOVA graduation. He did an excellent job!

Tyler gets Braces

 Tyler (10) got his phase 1 braces put on as soon as Football was over. He was excited, but nervous. He had a rough start. He had to have bite blocks placed on 2 of his molars so it really limited his eating and made it pretty frustrating for a few days until he was able to get used to it. He is excited for a perfect set of teeth! Nov. 2015

 

National Junior Honor Society

 Kayli was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society November 14, 2015 for having excellent grades and for service she has provided in the community. She is a great student and has a 4.0 GPA. We are super proud parents of our beautiful 7th Grader!

 This is Kayli with 3 of her close friends who were also inducted with her that evening. Luke, Parker and her BFF Megan. Nice work all you Smarty Pants!

Ugly Outfit Sunday

 Tyler came up from changing out of his Sunday clothes with a "typical boy, lazy day, un-matching outfit on, I decided I would copy him since I had a similar shirt, once Zac saw the 2 of us, he had to join in, then Tim did as well. Kayli came home from a class presidency meeting and noticed how ugly we all looked so she had to join us. We just had to take a pic of the cuteness!

Fall 2015

 The kids always have some fun playing in the few leaves that fall in our yard each year.

 

 

 While playing outside they decided to build blanket tents and build a fire and pretend food. Such imaginations! I LOVE when they come up with such fun and creative ideas outside!

 

Halloween 2015

 Halloween 2015 We had a great Halloween this year! We had a ward party, school parties and parades, had a Hall family party, and we carved pumpkins.

 Kayli (12) and her friends all dressed up as super hero's.

 Kayli and Eliza went trick or treating with a bunch of friends this year.

 

 Tyler and Zac stuck together and his just about every house in the neighborhood.

 Somehow we squeezed in some time to carve pumpkins. Kayli and Tyler did their own which turned out awesome this year and Zac got some help from Dad.

 

 

 Tim and I came up with the crazy idea to host the Hall Family Halloween Party this year. I didn't have a lot of time to get ready for it, but we pulled it off and the kids said it was a lot of fun, so that's a success. Everyone looked so great!

 

 

 

More Football...

 Tyler had a great season of Football. Even though they didn't win any games, Tyler played hard and gave it his all. We are super proud of his commitment and great attitude no matter what. He has a great love for the game and has a blast playing with his buddies. He played Center and defensive tackle. He had some great coaches, made a lot of new friends and really learned a lot this season. It was bittersweet when the season ended. He was excited for the free time he would have, but was really going to miss playing. #66
