BOO!

We did our pumpkins last night. This year Tristan and Jasen each designed and carved their own.

Then we went down to Trunk or Treat tonight. The boys had a blast as always! They got tons of candy and had fun with their friends.

At Grandma and Grandpa's before Trunk or Treat. Tristan was a "dead guy" (ie zombie), Jasen was a robot, and Hunter was a lion

Cahl and I, as Mario and his Princess

Here we go again!

This winter season Tristan wants to wrestle. So we signed him up to be on Team Vegas, a youth wrestling team that is big enough they practice at two high schools. He went to his first practice last night, and so far he seems to like it. One of his friends from football is also going to wrestle this winter, but on a different team closer to his house. So it's cool they'll get to see each other at meets and whatnot.

Nationals

This weekend were the Silver State National BMX races. Tristan went out Saturday and rode hard. He came away with this:

a 3 foot tall 3rd place trophy! He placed 3rd in the nation for his age group! Sweet! Today was also a national race, and he took 4th place. They didn't give out trophies today, but he did get a plaque. So he's doing really well, and most importantly he's having so much fun. We have a big group of friends at the tracks now, so in between races we all sit around and bs and the kids run around and play. So it's been really fun for the whole family. We are starting to look forward to some road trips this season for the races.

Happy Birthday...

... to my niece Paige! She turned the big 2 today. We love you Paige! Hope you had a wonderful day, and we wish we could have been there.

Happy Birthday...

... to Cahl's grandma Betty! She turned 80 years old today. The family had a nice surprise dinner for her at Cahl's uncle Mike's house. I was glad we got to stop by on our way home from the games. Happy Birthday Grandma! We love you!
