Introducing RUFF

Over the past several years, we have had a tradition of playing a weekly flag football game somewhere in Rexburg. This was largely started when Brandon and Taft were here at school. We have tried to keep the tradition going, especially while Matthew and Taylor are still here. Well, we have officially taken it to the next level by creating a Facebook Group called R.U.F.F., Rexburg Ultimate Flag Football. Our goals is to keep a steady stream of players and keep the tradition going.

Last night, in spite of a mini blizzard and freezing temperatures, we had our first RUFF game with 10 players. We played on the BYUI Stadium under the lights and had a great time.

Fall Horseback Ride

We may have seen our last somewhat warm Saturday, so went for quick horseback ride in Moody. We enjoyed a nice ride along the Teton River and saw a beaver dam, a muskrat, a bald eagle, some ducks, and a large flock of swans flying south for the winter.

Halloween 2009

We had a fun day complete with Trunk or Treating, a super party at Kevin and Dee Marie's home, some fun costumes (Christopher is the the one hiding behind the Viking mascot). My favorite is Matthew and Aubrey's, and Grandma combining with Brett for a pretty sweet hairdo. Here are some pictures of the day. Christopher, our up and coming artist, made his own World War II skeleton man pumpkin design. You can see more pictures on his blog at artbycd.blogspot.com.

Jenna Lindy

Jenna competed in the BYU-Idaho Battle of the dance with her friend Collin. They did a great job in our unbiased opinion, stole the show.

First Snow

We had our first snow fall of this fall, going into winter, season. Emrie was pretty excited to get bundled up and go play.

Singing and Dancing for the Nursing Home

Cindy and the three youngest had chance to put on a little show for the folks in the Rexburg Nursing home. Christopher and Isaac sang a song, with Emrie along for support. Isaac and Emrie then danced around while Cindy san some oldies.

Enjoying our very Leafy Fall Backhyard

Thanks to some very large and very old trees, we get a ton of leaves in our back yard. While we have some warms days, the kids have enjoyed playing in the piles. Isaac particularly likes our games of backyard football. Have fun now, because next week will be time to start raking and bagging!
