Nativity Night

The third annual Creche Display evening went well. This is the first year the Stake has taken the reigns, and the amount of displays increased by 100 to a whopping 229 (I know, not as many as most stakes, but we are still trying to show the stake how effective this can be). The room looked lovely, with lighted dogwoods and evergreens. Plenty of unique displays from many countries, and one made out of balloons (above)! Overall we had good turn out, and some great music. Next year we hope to set up 500. Wish us luck!

Ninjippets

A rare photo of Ninja Whippets, otherwise known as Ninjippets, in an undisclosed training camp. Warning, they may have spotted you through the internet--something even Chuck Norris hasn't mastered--so you may soon be targeted. The only defense is the high pitch of a vacuum cleaner (kryptonite for Whippets), but only if you see them coming. Your sure won't hear them.

Go Vikings!

Found this photo of the Vikings Ship the parents built for the Rocketbowl this year. Morgan and Keegan each had their first year of football. Morgan played linebacker and running back for Discovery Middleschool, and Keegan played offensive and defensive end for the Division Champs--The Vikings.

Sadly they lost the Rocketbowl, but that only made him hungrier for next year. The question is: Is the world ready for Keegan and Greg next year? After 7 shut-outs last year, the opposition may begin to treat us like Boise State and refuse to play us!

Dad and the boys got to watch Manti Teo play for Notre Dame. We had great seats, but sadly, ND could not get the best of UConn.

Halloween 2009

The Ward Halloween Party was a blast! We went as Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. Of course most of the kids thought Cory was a vampire. The YM had a "science lab" on the stage. Frankenstein came to life and a scientist made water turn to snow. Pretty cool stuff.

New Additions!

Some new additions to our family....our Whippets! Tolkien and Lewis. Tolkien is almost 2 years old, while Lewis is just past the 6 months mark. Tolkien is a registered champion, while Lewis is hopefully going to compete later this year.

Last Christmas I promised to get better at posting. Having joined facebook in the past year, I realized it is not only the Family Blog that I am not good at keeping up with--it is any electronic journaling!

I hope to get better as this is a great means of sharing our memories with friends and family.
