Basketball-Basketball-Basketball

Here is Kade trying to do some tricks, He keeps asking us to get him a basketball hoop so he can play at home.
Great Grandpa Wolz is showing Kade some moves for when he in on the basketball court.

So we finally broke down and bought him a basketball hoop now the only problem is Jordan has to figure out how to put it together. If anyone knows Jordan he hates reading instructions.

So he finally decided to read the instructions and with some help from my Brother-n-law Tra they have the hoop almost put together.

The end results... Kade and Ben were so excited to start playing basketball. I think Kade was outside playing for two days straight. We finally had to make him come in when it got dark. Now the newness has worn off some and he dosen't play as much.

Veteran's Day!!!

Kade came home from school yesterday and he was supposed to write a letter to one of our Veteran's. He did such a good job on it I had to post his letter. I am so glad that they had an assembly at school so he could witness what Veteran's Day is all about. I am so grateful for our country and the men and women who serve so we can be free.

Tumbling Class...

We decided that Kade and Benson needed something to keep them busy through the winter so we put them both in a tumbling class. They seem like they really enjoy it. Kade has an easier time with it than Benson. Here is Kade, I can't even tell you what he is doing. I think it might be a hand stand.
Here is Benson trying to stretch. Of course he needs the teacher to help him, but as weeks go buy he is really improving with his flexability.

Here are the kids stretching, Benson likes to pull faces and act like a dork. I think he does it mostly when I am around so I decided to start working out a little bit while they are in class. I'm sure most of you remember the Rigby Physical Fitness Center. I have been going there to exercise while they are in class, it works out for all of us.

Boo at the Zoo...

Boo at the Zoo is sort of a tradition we take the kids to every year. They love the zoo and are always asking us to take them. So whats better getting a treat while looking at all the animals. We always try to get in and out before it gets dark. With so many people its hard to keep track of your kids expecially in costumes. From left to right we have DreAna, Brynlee, Shellie Scott, Porter, Alexa, Kade, Allie Scott, and Benson.

We had a trunk or treat at our church on Halloween night but I didn't get any pictures of it. Since our ward is pretty spread out it's hard for the kids to trick or treat. There was a really good turn out and the kids ended up getting so much candy.

"Hunting with Dad and Jake"

Jordan and Jake Kidd have been good friends since High School. I don't think we have seen Jake since his wedding. Last week he gave Jordan a call and remembered that Jordan's favorite thing to do this time of year is hunt. So they decided to spend a few days together in the mountains and hunt. The kids and I decided to take a trip one day to see them. Well Jordan decided they needed to do an evening hunt and him and Jake would take Kade and Benson along, while Porter and I stayed back at the trailer. They hiked for quite awhile and we actually didn't think Benson would make it. They finally decided to take a rest and when they did not even a minute later a herd of Elk come wondering about 100 yards in front of them. Jordan saw them that morning and new where they were. When the boys spotted them they froze. Jordan shot and down he went. They saw him gut it and they hauled it back to camp. The boys were so excited. When Benson explains it all he can remember is that he saw dad cutt it's butt out. Kade has been begging us to let him take the horns for show-n -tell at school. We keep telling him you can't take horns to school and he just says, "my teacher says we can take anything we are excited about." Maybe once Kade brings horns to school she will refrase that.
Kade and Benson's first Elk....

Earlier that day we spent forever letting Porter throw rocks into the creek. His favorite thing to do.

The Fam.....

Guess what I have to look forward to. Hunting every year.....

I will be Drug Free!!!

When Kade got home from school yesterday, he brought me this essay that he wrote in class about being drug free. He said that his essay won along with four other kids in his class, so tomarrow he would have to read it in front of the whole school during a Drug Free Assembly.


I actually couldn't believe he wrote this on his own, so I asked his teacher when I went to the school today. She said that he did it all by himself. He has a word dictonary that he used to spell some of the words.
KADE YOUR FAMILY IS SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU!!!

Carving Pumpkins.......

Jordan decided it was time to carve the pumpkins that the kids picked at my grandpa's. I think Kade begged us for 2 weeks to get over there to get his pumpkin, so one night I finally decided to take the boys. Of course Porter dosen't really care about which one is his and what it looks like.

Kade had to draw the faces on before dad started to carve the pumpkins, except he drew the lines to small so you can see them on the face of the pumpkins. Kade and Benson were so excited to finally have faces on them.

While dad is carving the pumpkins Kade was collecting all the seeds so he can grow his own pumpkins(or so he thinks). I think Jordan had to go back over the faces a few times to get them exactly the way they wanted them. The one thing about Kade and Benson someone always has to have the better one. So when Jordan made sharp teeth on Kade's pumpkin Benson had to have sharp teeth. So that went on for awhile. Jordan didn't even get frustrated like I sometimes do. Hopefully they will get over being so competitive one day.


The final results.

Happy Halloween!!!
