Fall

From the beginning, seventh grade has been the grade to start playing football. We like practices after school instead of evenings, games on weekdays, and boys bodies that are a little bigger and ready to sustain the injuries that will certainly come from playing. Much to our dismay, 7th grade football was cut due to lack of money. Enter cross country. Hey, I love to run. Running is less painful and cheaper than community football leagues. Thankfully, Gabe did really enjoy running and had a great season. I love this picture and don't know how I took it.
My grandparents and mom came for a visit and we took them to the pumpkin patch complete with wagon ride and corn maze that we did not get lost in.

I love my grandpa trying to pull off the Grump of the Year.

Andrew and Kimball loved showing off for the camera as I tried to catch them in mid-air.
Bales of hay are so much fun!

Halloween came and went. Gabe was sick and his Jack-in-the-box costume is still sitting in the garage. Caleb is a crazy (angry??) BYU fan, Kimball is a Jedi Knight (made mostly out of Duck Tape. Don't you love that stuff?), and Andrew is Indiana Jones complete with whip made out of brown flannel so he can whip people and not cause welts or tears.We had to have a picture on the all ones day. Gabe took it one step further and decided we needed it to be 11:11, but we'd already missed 11:11 a.m. Mike took it even further and decided it had to be 11 seconds into the minute. It was late! That explains the sleepy zombie like looks from all, except Gabe.
