Halloween

November 1, 2007

Little Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf made our first visit of the day to KJ’s preschool class…these little tykes were our most attentive audienceThen we took Recon Commando along with us to the Pro Look lunch & costume contest…while driving there KJ wanted to read the “Little Red Riding Hood” book in the car I had just read to his class. While “reading” he realized that I missed one of the pages. I had been wondering if he enjoyed mom & dad all dressed up or if he was embarressed and when he discovered the page I had missed he said, “Mom, you are going to have to come back and read it again to my class because you missed a page –

Dusty is so great at sending all of us “miss you” gifts when he is out of town…today I had beautiful flowers delivered to me and the kids had a cookie bouquet delivered later. KJ answered the door for the cookie bouquet and was SO excited he had taken off the cellophane, and was eating the football helmet (the only boy themed cookie in the bunch) before he made it back to the kitchen! thanks daddy!

Lunch date with daddy

September 28, 2007

Dusty is the ever so popular dad at Kiana & Myla’s elementary school. He guarantees a lunch date with him at least once a week. The girls take turns choosing what he brings to school, but he’s known to show up with an extra bucket of KFC chicken for ALL of their friends! Sometimes if it’s nice weather they go outside and picnic on the school lawn. Today, to change it up a little, KJ and I joined the girls and Daddy and went to the mall for lunch! It was a 30-minute jam-packed lunch with Sbarro pizza, and “Mountain Fun.” We of course HAD to sit at the little tables!

4th grade field trip

September 27, 2007

to MOUNT TIMPANOGOS CAVES! Yes, Dusty did make it home for the 9am departure. We want to thank Kiana for allowing us to both go chaperone her trip! The leaves are changing colors, and the canyon was absolutely beautiful, it was a little chilly but actually great weather for the hike – it was hard to narrow it down, but here’s our favorite pics…Dusty leading the group up the trail ~ our friends who were also in our tour group ~ Kiana and I viewing that stalagmites…As the legend believes – this is the heart of Timpanogos caves ~On our way back down.

National Halo 3 Day!

September 27, 2007


Sept. 25th finally arrived… KJ woke up on Tuesday morning with sleepy eyes and groggy voice and said, “Dad, today Halo 3 comes out.” Indeed it did… and KJ’s nerd dad was home playing with his son for 2 1/2 hours (don’t tell his boss) when he should have been at work. KJ bought a box of mini crumb donuts and a couple of Diet Cokes and ate ONLY that for the next 9 hours while fighting aliens with his gamer thumbs (parental pride exuded). Later that night his nerd dad went to Jared’s house with Troy, Silver, Jared, Junior, Kyle, Joe, Brent Hek, Nick, and Brent Lloyd (all very responsible adults as you can see) for an allnighter.
