State Champions

I love football!!! I know it's weird, but football by far is my favorite sport. I pretty much understand the rules and how the game is played. Erick doesn't play, but that does not stop us from following our North Sevier Wolves. Actually my cousins Bobby and Riley play so I do have a great excuse to follow the team. Yesterday, we were so lucky to travel to Timpview High School in Orem and witness history. For the first time in 99 years the North Sevier Wolves were in a State Championship game, and for the first time ever they won!!! Way to go boys. It was intense as we were down 12-0 at the half, but a HUGE 3rd quarter put us over the top. It was so neat to see the excitement from the players, parents, and fans. It is a great day to be a North Sevier Wolf!!! (Thanks to the Deseret News for my awesome pictures- you know me no camera. I did drive us to the game, which is an entirely different story :o) And another note, Number 72 in the bottom picture is my awesome cousin Bobby, along with Wyatt Mason and Josh Bates.

16 Years

Richard and I are celebrating our 16th anniversary today. Well I guess our anniversary is today, but we both had to work and he is on his first 13 hour weekend shift and hasn't even gotten home yet. So not too much celebrating is going on. I got these gorgeous flowers at work, they made my office smell just glorious. Thanks Richard for the flowers and 16 wonderful years!!!

Volleyball

I know I am a slacker. Jordan has been playing volleyball for 6 weeks and I remember the camera at the last game. She has improved so much since last year. She is still struggling with serving, but Kenzie says that it will come as she gets older. (Thanks Kenzie for helping out). She did make quite a few hits and even scored some points. Way to go Jordan!!!

First Snow - Minimal Damage

As I post this, it is snowing outside. I was making dinner and looked out the window and thought to myself that tree is really sagging. So I went out to take a closer look and HOLY CRAP it had broken into two pieces. Luckily it didn't take anything else down with it or land on anything too important. I guess that is the chance you take having trees in your yard. Like it or not it looks like winter is on our doorstep.

Fall

One of our favorite things to do as a family has always been to take a drive and look at the fall leaves and take pictures. We are so fortunate to have the mountains in our back yard. We got a late start and they are doing road work on the Gooseberry Road, so we didn't make it too far up, but we did stop and have dinner at Brown's Hole. Erick and Jordan were even nice enough to let me take pictures of them.

It's Official

It is official, I have a new little brother. Yesterday Salena and Luke got married. It was out to Maple Grove, the leaves are just changing and it was beautiful. Luke was nervous about all of the people, but he did great. Salena looked gorgeous in her dress. It was a great day. I took over 130 pictures, and they will be posted on her blog. These are a few of my favorites My family just before the wedding: My Dad and his wife Maryanne, Salena, Me and My mom

During the ceremony. Ashlynne was the Maid of Honor and the Best "man".

Presenting the new Mr & Mrs. Luke Mickelsen

Truck Show

Richard's dad is involved in the annual truck show that is put on at the Robinson's building. They have a dinner and raffle that we attend with them. I put Jordan in charge of the camera, and she takes almost as many pictures as I do (hence another slide show). She took pictures of her favorite trucks as well as the family. The dinner was really good and Jordan won 2 hats, and a shaker of Real Salt. Erick won a car duster and a shaker of Real Salt. Just our luck they would win something we already have a ton of :o)
