Slip and Slide with Friends

One of our good friends created a slip and slide in their backyard. It started with a tarp laid out on a hill in and emerged into this...








I love how this video shows the boys different personalities. Caleb has always been head first and daring... Dallin proceeds in life with a bit more caution.

BYU vs. Airforce



On September 11th we attended the BYU football game at the Airforce Academy. It was a gorgeous day and a fun game. The boys loved cheering for BYU, but enjoyed watching Airforce score. Each time they did, the cadets would run down on the field and do as many push-ups as their team had points. The jets flew over at the start of the game, music played throughout, and the halftime show was entertaining. What I enjoyed most, however, was watching the boys cheer and get into the game. Whenever the crowd went wild or the band played, the boys were up out of their seats joining in. It was great!

Tyler's Blessing

This last week we had Tyler's blessing at church and it was a very special event. He wore the same outfit as his brother, which was handmade by Grandma Hanchett. While I was dressing him Dallin was in the room getting ready for church. Dallin has lately become very aware of his style and likes to dress to impress. Also, he has been Tyler's most protective brother since birth. Our conversation went as follows...

Dal: "Why does Tyler have to dress like a girl when he goes to church?"
Me: "He's not dressed like a girl, this is a blessing outfit. In fact, it's the same one you wore when you were blessed in church."
Dal: "When did I start dressing like a boy?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Dal: "When did I start wearing normal clothes?"
Me: "You only wear your blessing outfit on the day you are blessed."
Dal: "So he doesn't have to wear that ever again?"
Me: "No Dallin"
Dal: "Can I dress Tyler for church next week?"
Me: "Why, are you a little worried?"
Dal: Smiles...no comment!


The blessing was given by Michael and was beautiful.


I adore this little guy...


so do his three big brothers!
