Hi family!! I thought you might like to see what we've been up to in Utah.

That's Hayden with the hat and his Devenport cousins

Camping - in the mountains. This is Lake Fork

This is Scofield. That's Thomas on Labor Day when the air is only about 75 degrees and the water is about 50 degrees. Riley is already in the water. They still love it.

Here's Danielle's sweet 16. Yea!

Three days after turning 16, she's going on her first date! Hayden had asked this girl to go with him to Homecoming but he couldn't find anyone to double with. So at the football game Friday night, he asked this friend, Zac. When Zac couldn't think of anyone he would want to ask with one days notice, Hayden offered his sister. He met her, of course couldn't pass up her beauty, and they went. Weird but oh well.

Most recently (today) Thomas had a birthday party with friends. I only do it every 3 years because after almost 24 hours with a bunch of 8 and 9 year olds, it may take me 3 years to recover. My brand new house is definitely "broke in" now. Thomas turns nine on Monday.

I must say, I either don't know what I'm doing or this is a big pain. I will send more another time. Love you all!
