HALLOWEEN -- OCTOBER 2009

This is Landon during Homecoming Week on Michael Jackson Day. He's got some new moves.

Mom got these teeth and wanted to me to look about as scary as I could................I looked like this at the Ward party and most people did not know who I was until they saw mom.

This was Mom and she looks good no matter what she wears. And dressed back to her roots.

Me again..............looking pretty weird. If you look close enough you can see the resemblance between me and Chad and Devin.

The videos below are from Landon showing the grandkids what our house looked like when we gave out candy Halloween night. He had fun.........as the doorbell rang, he would shoot the fog machine and the girls would scream.



This is what the house looked like right before it got dark.

Halloween is over for another year. We only had about 60-70 kids show up at the door. But it was fun, and now we are left to eat all of the candy. Mom is going to look for some more teeth for next year. There were lots of comments today at church as to how I looked. At least for a night i had a "little piece of the glory".

KALEY IS OFF TO REXBURG AND THE COLLEGE LIFE !!!

This Temple sits right on the edge of the campus and is simply breathtaking !!!

Kaley outside of her dorm. She lives on the other side of this wall -- 50 yards from campus.

This is her bedroom with her desk below the bed.

This is the kitchen where she is always trying to clean.........just like her Mom.

This is Kaley saying goodbye as we left........do i see a tear or three. Love you Kaley and we will miss you tons. The house will not be the same without you around to stir things up.

This is one of Kaley's roommates........Chrissie.......from England with a great accent.

We are thankful for Brett and Emily in helping Kaley get settled. They have become very close -- and are only about 5 minutes away. Thanks Brett & Emily for being such good friends.

Dadders and the Kaysters.

Mommers and Kaley -- two very beautiful young ladies !!!

Another view of this beautiful site. It can be seen from where ever you are on campus and pretty much in the whole town of Rexburg.

LANDON TURNS 14 -- LAST ONE AT HOME !!!

Landon had his 14th birthday last month and he got some sweet presents.

The snake looking thing is actually a Sasquatch Nike Driver with a Nike cover.

This is our little baby that is now 14. Next year he gets to ride the Scooter to school.

Landon turned 14 in September and is now alone with mom and dad at home. It stinks to be him right now.............except he gets Mountain Mike's pizza every weekend. Watch out girls........Landon is now in high school.

More Half Marathon Pictures

We had so much fun running we have to keep posting pictures................We also publish this blog site into a book and it becomes a pretty good Family History.

Here we are after the race looking at our official times posted on the internet. I love my IPhone.........so does every one else in the family. We have 7 Iphones total among us all. Notice Jill looking at my time and thinking, "How was Denny's time so close to mine?" And of course Dustin could care less about the times...............he just knows someone has a camera !!

A few of the runners.......Kimberly, Jill, Denae, Denny, and Dave.

We were very proud of Landon for finishing this race with an extremely hurt TOE......which he destroyed a few days earlier at "Jump on It".

HOBBLE CREEK, UTAH HALF MARATHON

The Half Marathon Group -- August 2009. This is the group on Saturday night eating ice cream. We deserved it after running the half marathon...........next year we all plan on running. Right ?
Cheering section . Come on kaley....run with us next time. It's the "best" !!!

Mommers the Runner !!!! I've been trying to catch her for 34 years !!! Maybe some day.

FINISHED !!!!!! Notice my cheering section.

Denae looks like she is having fun.

Dave did well. Time......1 hour 47 minutes.

We had a great day as twelve of us ran....Mom, Dad, Julie, Denae, Dave, Kim, Emily, and Landon. In addition, Kim's sister Marissa and Julie's Dad, brother Luke, and sister-in-law Emily ran with us. 1,200 runners in all entered the race. The weather was great, the course was absolutely beautiful, and we were all happy to have it over with. However, we are already talking about doing another one and getting the men involed.......like Pete, Chad, Devin, Brett, and Dustin. Angie plans on running, also. We haven't convinced kaley yet as she thinks we are crazy. The pictures below are a start. We will find some more later on.

Brett and Dustin kept popping up during the race to make sure we were all still alive. They had fun, but wanted to run. Next time they will be running.

Here's the "oldest" member of the race team. There were 12 of us in total. Great day !!!

Mommer's is the runner.....time.....1 hour53 minutes......13.1 miles.

Getting tired..........final count 1 hour 59 minutes.........legs tired.

Jill looks so good and having so much fun i had to put the picture in twice.

We are proud of Landon for finishing without any training..........2 hours 29 minutes.

Denae and Emily did well. Emily ran it in 1 hour 58 minutes (beat me) and Denae did it in 2 hours 8 minutes. Don't they look cute and happy the race is over.

Julie is THE runner in our family. She has great form, knows what she is doing, and beat us all. She ran with the "men" in this race as she was in front. Her time was 1 hour 39 minutes.

Emily crossing the bridge as she sees Brett in the distance waiting.

Kimberly finishing strong. Her time 2 hours 7 minutes.

We had tons of fun.............the run was hard........but rewarding. And it was so much fun to have the family there to root us on. Angie even went and got balloons and had some treats at the end of the race. We trained for several months and did it !!!!! Great experience. I would recommend it to anyone.

Dustin is back from His Mission

Waiting for Dustin !!!

He made it. I always knew he would.

Happiness !!!
