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!

Trying to Make a Sad Face

Emrie has a new habit of holding her food like a chipmunk for a very long time. Needless to say, it really extends supper. So, we tried a little time-out to see if that would prompt some chewing and swallowing. No luck, we just got a series of sad looks and then once we relented, a bit of a sheepish grin and then she walked over to her plate and spit out the soggy lasagna. Yum.

Check out Christopher's Latest Art Work

Christopher has posted some new pictures at artbycd.blogspot.com. Here is his latest drawing. He is really interested in history at the moment, especially World War II.

Some Pictures from Before and After Church

Here is one picture of Isaac and Emrie having a little breakfast before church. After church, we enjoyed a nice fall afternoon. I tried to get Isaac an and Emrie to pose together, but big brother was too busy playing super hero and Emrie was content to follow along. She does pose pretty well by herself, but some cute sibling pictures are pretty hard to take. I did snap a nice shot of our 14 year old dog Lolli, who is our faithful companion and front yard sentinel.
