We have been watching the Toy Story movies to get ready for Toy Story 3 and we have definately found a fan!

Alex's first soccor game

Alex got right in the game the first quarter and went gung ho until he got knocked down by another kid about 4 times. Then we had a hard time getting him to play again because he didn't want to get hurt again. Over all it was a pretty succesful game.

This is my favorite picture so far this year. It was pretty much a random accident that I got it because I wasn't even looking at what I was taking, but it turned out perfect!

The Ultimate Snowman

We built the best snowman ever on New Years Day with the Stewart and Hoggan clan. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved the sledding too.

Bethany's Swim Lessons

Bethany just started swim lessons a couple months ago and she is loving it. She is starting to get more comfortable with floating on her back and she definately wants independance in the water even if she isn't ready for it.

Fall Leaves

I love fall even if it means raking a ton of leaves. The kids and I had a great time playing in the leaves and it was a perfect day. We spent a couple hours raking and playing and by the time we were done the lawn was covered again already from the wind blowing more leaves off the tree.

Halloween

We had a lot of fun on Halloween. Bethany was a great snow white with Alex as her Knight in Shining Armor (or as Alex said, "the army guy") I was a perfect evil queen who even convinced Snow white to eat the poisoned apple (it didn't take a whole lot of persuasion either). Chris as usual held Bethany's (Snow White's) heart in his hand.

Long Beach

We had a lot of fun on the beach. It was almost completely empty except for the birds and we all had a great time chasing down all the birds and making them fly away in swarms. The weather was perfect and it was nice to have a more relaxing day after 3 days in Disneyland.

More Disneyland

Bethany is such a thrill seeker. She really liked the tea cups

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing Bethany meet Tinkerbell. She went running up to her and gave her a big hug. She was fascinated with all the beads on her dress and her shoes. To see her face meeting Tink was worth the whole trip!

Disneyland!

It was Alex's first time on the bigger rides and he absolutely loved it.

• Bethany loved the Ferris Wheel. The cages were on a track so as you went around it sent you swinging. She was squealing with delight
  
  The Kids loved meeting the different characters. Bethany even gave Tiger a kiss.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  Alex was able to train as a Jedi and fight against Darth Vader. Needless to say, he won!
  
  
  
  
  
  

Zion's National Park

We had a great start to our trip to Disneyland by stopping through St. Geroge and Zions. We hiked Angel's Landing all the way to the view point 2 miles up. Alex did an amazing job and hiked himself almost the entire way. We got a lot of comments about how ambitious we were to hike with such young kids, but it was such an amazing journey. The fall leaves were absolutely beautiful and it was great to be outside having fun as a family.

Lake Mary

We hiked up to Lake Mary a few weekends ago. It was raining a little, which made it so fun. The kids hiked the whole way up and Alex hiked the whole way down. Bethany almost made it down, but needed a shoulder ride from dad few times. It was so nice to be up in the mountains with our little family hiking, even if it was short.

Alex started swimming lessons this fall. He loves it. Sometimes it looks like he is drowning, but he can totally hold himself up with out help. It is definately a fun thing to do with his Cousin Lucy.
