Kate Wisdom Teeth and Last Day of School

Kate got her wisdom teeth out right after 9th grade. She was stressed, but was a champ.

She was funny coming out of the anesthesia. She kept saying, "I'm just so confused." She sounded just like little Kate for the day. She couldn't figure out how she got home or how she got into the car. She healed up great!


Logan finished kindergarten! This is Logan for graduation.

 The kids had a great school year! It was a bit hard at first, but everyone made some new friends and had some fun!

Halloween 2024

 We got snow on Halloween this year! (You can also see Dad's squares that he mowed on the lawn. Friends drive by occasionally to see the latest lawn creation Dad has done).


Austin dressed up as a Mexican, Kate as a greaser, and Scott as a BYU football player.

Ty was a Ty Detmer reindeer (first year in middle school - 6th grade)

Logan is IronMan


This is the first year with only one kid in the elementary Halloween parade in many years! So fun to have one there!


Mom and Kate helped at Logan's class Halloween party!


We went to the Nelson's annual Halloween dinner (Truman just got home, so it was fun to see him), then we went trick or treating on the Smith's party bike. Always so much fun! It was a very cold Halloween this year.

Such a fun Halloween! We all had a great day!

Mountain Biking with Melissa

Melissa came down for the weekend and mom convinced her to give mountain biking a try! They had a great time together! Melissa ended up going home and getting a mountain bike.

BYU at Florida State

Dad took Kate, Scott and Austin to the BYU @ Florida State football game. The kids were so excited! Mom dropped everyone off at Provo airport and they took off. On the plane, there were tons of BYU fans as well as Utah fans (Utah was also playing a game in Florida).

Shortly after they were in the air, the plane was diverted to Tulsa, Oklahoma so they could fill up with gas. They ended up having to spend the night there. Luckily, first thing in the morning, they were able to take off and make it just in time for the game in Tampa.

Once they got to the game, there was some major weather, and the game was delayed for two hours. BYU ended up winning and they all had a great time!

Austin and Scott Wisdom Teeth

Austin and Scott both got their wisdom teeth out today. Here is mom and Scott:

Austin about to go under:


Scott right after:

Austin right after. It took him forever to wait up. Right about now, mom was talking to the nurse. The nurse asked how much Austin weighed. Mom said around 110 pounds. Austin held up the fingers to indicate 125. He was SO out cold, but wanted to make sure his weight was correct.

Scott woke up a lot quicker.

In the car, headed home


Luckily, Dad was home when Mom and the boys got home to help them in. Scott was basically running inside, but he couldn't stay upright so Dad hurried to stay caught up and to hold him up.








 These boys got some special treatment for a few days. It took Austin a few extra days to heal because Scott's teeth were a more straight forward extraction. Nice to have this done!
