Football Season has arrived!

Jantsen's first Varsity game as a Sophomore…Dixie stadium.
 Jantsen got to dress for Varsity.  No playing time, but he looked great on the sideline!   Great first game for the Devils!  Andrew Slack, Jantsen and Jackson Murphy




Lucky enough to get his picture in the paper!
The two QB's at the Springville vs Corner Canyon game.  Both coached by Dustin with QBelite

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

Cooking up waffles!



Trying to get Nick to smile was near impossible.  He finally just walked away…off to Jr. High.


Jantsen was also annoyed by me, but did give me a token smile…off to high school!




Brooks was my best smiler and happy to do it…off to 4th grade!

One week in August...

4 years ago, almost to the day, we brought this car home for Payton to drive, after a 2 week stay at the auto body shop (car ICU), we brought it home for Jantsen to drive now…how long will it take for the first dent??

Happy 10th birthday to Brooks


Brooks had a birthday party with his buddies.  Hang time is awesome!


9th ward young men/young women temple trip in one day…
Ogden Temple Open House
(left Springville at 5am )




The awesome YW 


Salt Lake Temple for baptisms
Nick's thoughts:  "I'm starving…"


After the Salt Lake temple, we went to lunch at Hires Big H and then headed to the Oquirrh Mtn temple for more baptisms.  The group then went to the Jordan River Temple for the final baptisms.  It was a great day!



23 years!  What a fantastic adventure!!
