Halloween

Despite the pandemic, we still had the neighborhood Halloween party.  It was toned down (just dinner and chatting with neighbors) but we were able to see people which was really nice!  We went around the block to eat soups (it's always potluck so each street has an assignment to bring a particular food), hotdogs, rolls, chips, etc.  Then we chatted with people before going back home to meet the trick-or-treaters.

We didn't have as many kids come to our house as we usually do but we still went through a bunch of candy.  Courtney decided to go with a couple of friends to some houses to get candy.  It seems like everyone (including us) went for the good candy - chocolate.

Courtney came home with a nice haul and the Halloween Fairy the next day brought her cash for her candy (because the Halloween Fairy wasn't aware that Courtney would be trick-or-treating).

Soccer End of the Year Banquet

They made it through the season!!  This was amazing because of all the Covid cancellations going on.  But the SCHS soccer team made it and they wanted to celebrate.  The team mom decided to have a little dessert get together outside one night so the girls could have closure.

It was really cold and windy that night but we got together at the park by the little league field.  The girls ate the desserts brought by the families (store-bought) and then the coaches gave out gifts to their wives and also the other coaches.

Then the head coach made an announcement we didn't see coming - he is going to retire from coaching.  So next year there will be a new coaching staff.  It will be an interesting year next year but we are excited to see what is going to happen.

 Here are some pictures of Ethan on his mission.


Ethan needs a haircut.

Frisbee golf in the snow (and shorts).

This is a pic of his area with the smoke from the fires in the background.

Mountain Biking State Championships

The Mountain Biking State Championships were being held in St George this year so we decided to run out to see the course.  Bryan and Ethan have ridden the course before but this was going to be a longer race so we weren't sure how it was going to be going.

They did a great job with the course.  You could watch a bunch of the trail and see the riders start and also come through the finish line. We stayed long enough to watch the start of the Varsity Boys race.  It was so dusty but it was fun to watch them start the race.

The Snow Canyon team didn't end up winning State, which is a bummer, but they will work on it and see what they can do next season.

Beautiful Ivins

 I saw this picture on my friend's Facebook page and make a copy.  We live in such a beautiful place.

Mole Day

 They had Mole Day at Success Academy.  Courtney designed a poster, wore a Mole Day shirt, and we sewed a mole all for her to take for credit.  She had a fun time because she and Hayley wore matching shirts.

Courtney's Pumpkin

 Courtney went to a young women's activity where they painted pumpkins for Halloween.  Courtney loves dinosaurs and did a great job putting them on her pumpkin.
