Happy Halloween!



Tonight we attend the ward Trunk-or-Treat just down the street. I believe that more kids came to Trick-or-Treat than in any of the years before. I thought for sure we would run out of candy before the night was over, but we did okay. Austin walked from car to car with his friends Hunter, Seth and Brea. They seemed to have a lot of fun together. Austin dressed up as a Pokemon Trainer. He tried to look like Ash from the television series. The biggest problem was that he kept dropping one of his Pokemon while he was Trick-or -Treating.

First Airplane Ride

Austin took his first airplane ride last Friday from Salt Lake City to Denver.

We went to Colorado Springs to attend my niece's baptism over the weekend.
It is not very often that we get to spend time with my sister and her family because they do live so far away. We had a great time just being with each other. I got to play the Wii for the first time on Saturday. My brother-in-law and I had boxed each other. The next day my muscles hurt! Sunday afternoon all the adults took turns competing against each other in various sports. It was alot of fun! This is a picture of all of the neices and nephews on my side of the family and two kids from my brother-in-laws side. They all got along well and had a fabulous time flying paper airplanes from the second level of the house into the living room below. That's what you do when you come to the Clayton's house. :)

Good Friends




What would we do without great friends? Life would sure be boring. We are so grateful for our friends the Griffeths. A week ago we took a hike into the mountains above Franklin to take their family picture. These are just a few pictures I took of the kids and the creek where we stopped to take some pictures. We had so much fun spending time together.

GOAL!!!!!




Austin scored his first ever soccer goal during a game this morning. It was awesome and unbelievable all at the same time! I knew his team had scored a gaol, but I was recording the game on the video camera and couldn't see what had happened through the small screen. Coach Snapp came over and asked, "Did Austin score that goal?" Ausitn's body language was enough to tell me that he had been the one to score the goal.


These pictures were taken last Saturday at the coldest game I have ever sat through. It rained, snowed and everything in between. Can you believe Austin didn't want to wear the long pants, long-sleeved shirt, or the ear warmers to begin with. Two minutes into warm ups he was begging to add the additional clothing. It was so cold.

Go Eagles! 5-2-0 Record with one more game to go.

Austin and the girls


I may be prejudice, but I think that I have some really cute nieces. These two belong to my brother. I got to spend some time with them last weekend when I traveled to Idaho Falls for my post op.

Fall Colors


My friend, Stephanie, has told me that I haven't posted for to long. She's right and I am trying to make a serious change. Life has been so busy as of late. This picture of the leaves was taken a couple weekends ago in the mountains above Cub River. We took a Sunday drive so I could get some fresh air after having my surgery. It felt good to be out and the colors were beautiful. Cameras never do the true colors justice or maybe I should say the photographer (me) never does the colors justice.
