Halloween 2009

After suffering (or should we say suffocating) through the ward party, Austin decided he would much rather be Indiana Jones for Halloween night.

The boys enjoyed trunk or treating at Fairview, and they still found enough energy to make the rounds throughout the neighborhoods.  Candy is the ultimate motivator.

Junior

Cameron has started off his junior year with a bang.  He got a job working for Craigo's Pizza as a cook and bus boy. He works usually four nights a week.  And he has distinguished himself in the community by becoming a "sign flipper."  He has the moves and really gets noticed.

And he got his braces off!  Isn't he a handsome devil?

He is a true ladies man and had a great time at the Homecoming Dance.  (Her name is Krissa Hegsted, and she is from Rigby.)

But don't worry tennis fans, he still has an undying passion for the sport.  He plays at least five to six times a week.  And he also spends all of his hard earned cash on private tennis lessons every Wednesday and Friday morning at 6:30 am.  So you know he is dedicated. 
We couldn't be more proud of Junior.

Body Man

Nathan has begun to realize that the countdown is on. There are going to be many things he won't be doing in the next two years, and waterskiing is one of them. So whenever he comes home on the weekends and the weather is half decent, he has been asking us to take him out on more "last" time.

I have to admire his courage in skiing in this freezing water.  The sun may be shining, but the river is ice cold.  There is no way I will get in it, even with a dry suit on, let alone a wetsuit.  I am cold just riding in the boat .  Anyone who skis in these temperatures is insane.  But then I am not a motivated 18 year-old boy. 

Nathan finds our old wetsuits from the '80's hilarious and loves to impress us with his physique by wearing them. He earned the nickname "BodyMan" when Austin told him he looked like a superhero in the red, white, and blue. Notice the head band.  I am not lying when I say that water is ice.

Our Cub Scouter

Austin's Arrow of Light September 3, 2009
 

 Following the example of his older brothers, Austin has been a true go-getter as a Cub Scout.
We are very proud of him.

Pinewood Derby, September 2009: The "Silver Surfer"

Ten year old Austin and his dad let their creativity run wild again this year. I especially liked the extra touch of the shark coming up the backside of the wave. The "Silver Surfer" joins Austin's other great Pinewood Derby car creations such as his "Hot Dog."
