Pics

I never had pictures taken of Hailey when she turned 5 or Brayden when he turned 2. I have felt guilty about this but it is such a pain. I just need to invest in a great camera like my brother -in-law has, then I could take them at home. Last Saturday it was cold and drizzly and Brian needed the whole day to finish installing the sprinkling system in the backyard. So we trudged out to the mall and I am actually happy with how they turned out. At least I had them taken before they were 6 and 3. When they are 30 I don't think they will care. (Hailey also had school pictures taken so that is why there is only one shot of her. )

The Last of Fall

We went up the canyon today to see the last of fall. The cold weather put an early end to it. Here is a little slideshow.

Fall

Global Warming

This is just wrong! Come on, we haven't even had Halloween yet!

I don't think Al will be using these shots in his next film.

Kindergarten Fun

Hailey is enjoying school. She had her "Special Day" two weeks ago and I am glad it is over. The anticipation for it was almost too much. She worked really hard on a book she made all about her. Everyday she spent at least 30 minutes on it. We also got to make a mobile that now hangs in her class room of her favorite things. Brian took off work early and we had fun spotlighting Hailey. Hailey and I read her favorite book, "Geez Louise" to the class. She can pretty much tell it word for word through reading and some memorization. It is really cute and is all about a stink bug named Louise.
