Arrow of Light

Cole has moved on from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts. We are all very proud of him. I am feeling a little sad about not having a Cub. There is not much cuter than a boy in a Cub uniform, (think of the Disney movie "Up!") and there are no more pinewood derbies for us. But, I am so excited for the new adventures he has ahead of him! This is going to be a fun ride!

The ceremony was great. It was done at the Blue and Gold banquet. Older boys from another troop came and presented the program. They were dressed in traditional native american garb and represented the winds from the four corners of the world sent to give guidance and blessings to the boys who were crossing the bridge into the scouting world. They did a very nice job. A young boy stood up at the end of the program and proclaimed "That was awsome!" He was absolutely right.

Hailey's Baptism

January 9, 2010 was a special day for Hailey! It was baptism day.


I hope she will always remeber this special time with her dad. We are all very proud of her.



The day was made even better because she shared it with two very special friends! Gabby, Lily and Hailey were all so beautiful. Congratualtions to all!

Here and There

Brook and her friend, Olivia planned a youth dance and invited all the wards in the stake as part of the Young Women's program. The decorations were beautiful and they had a good turn out. I think everyone had a great time.

We bought a 5 acre lot outside of town early this fall. It has water, electricity, a barn and a chicken coop but no house. We are excited to start working on that in the spring. It should be an adventure, wish us luck!

Hailey was an elf in the school production of "The Incredible Reindeer".

Cole's Cub Scout den helped the city in raising the flag at the beginning to the community holiday celebrations.

Fall Sports

Hailey played basketball in the Parks and Recreation program. This picture shows her with her coach, Erin. Hailey played several postions and scored a basket during game-play! She learned a lot and we had fun watching her!





Cole played football again this year. His first year in the Junior Tackle program. He had a great time playing corner on defense and wide receiver on offense. We had a lot of fun drinking hot chocolate in the stands and trying to stay warm!

Hello everyone. I'm settling in well and having a blast. I didn't even get lost on the first day. It was cake:) The first night I was here I went to the basketball game against Eastern New Mexico and it was sooo fun. Cosmo (the mascot) even came up to where my row was and I got pictures. Here are a couple and I hope all is well.

Love Robyn

Robyn Leaving

This is Robyn learning how to blog. Mom threatened me with my life that I need to learn how to 1. blog 2. facebook and 3. call a lot. This is just to leave for four months! Anyway, I hope this works.

Here is a picture of my antelope from this fall. The horns are 13.5 inches long on both sides and scores about 71 pts. B&C. It was a super fun weekend and we were not attacked by the wolves one canyon over from our camp. I had a tag for one anyway though.

Love to all, Robyn
