Trick or treat!!
Kyle and Sarah had fun playing a scary Halloween game on the computer.

Monday Halloween Activity

We just had a fun evening at Farnsworth Farm & Cider Mill. We enjoyed hay rides, bounce house, carnival games, outdoor movie (It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown), and won a gallon of fresh apple cider.



Arrgh!!!!

Happy Halloween

Oct 17 Weekend

Finally, a relaxing weekend. . .

Cara and Teya had their last soccer games for the fall season. Cara's team finished undefeated, with Cara scoring 2 goals in the last game's win at 3-1. Cara was scared because her team was down 0-1 at the half. She has a good knack for the game, and made some very good passes and defense plays.

Teya was all smiles as she ran around during her game. She had some pretty good kicks and blocks, but was most proud that it was her turn to bring treats to the game for her teammates.

With soccer season over, that leaves Kyle as the only active one. He is on the pre-comp swim team and is loving it. When we finally got him a racing swimsuit, he couldn't believe how much drag was eliminated.

We've been a little worried about Tadd's limited vocabulary. He turns 2 in a couple of weeks but can only say a few words: Mom, Dad, I, milk, Wii, apple, please, no, yes, dog, play, hi, bye, and uh-oh. However, last night, he said his first sentence, "Mom, I play Wii?" Even though it is not our first choice in what we want his first sentence to be, we were happy to finally hear him talk. Nevertheless, the answer was "no".

On Sunday, it was a joy to attend Stake Conference. It was one of the broadcast sessions where we were able to hear from the prophet, Elder Hales, Elder Costa, Sis. Matsumori, and the local temple presidents. With four temples in the valley, we were encouraged to attend the temple weekly. Where else but along the Wasatch Front would that even be possible?

Anyway, we are doing well at the Snowder home. Again, much thanks to everyone helping out lately.

House Update (Ready for Appraisal)

We've completed enough of our house for the appraisal, and will spend the next few years finishing everything else. We owe a special thanks to Grandpa & Grandma Lewis for a lot of work they put in the last few weeks to finish it. We received a lot of help from several people. Tiff & Terry helped design it, paint the interior, and build the food storage shelving. Eric and Tracy Snowder helped lay the sod. THANKS EVERYBODY!!!!!!

Sarah made a video of the interior on Friday but recorded it on HDTV quality (to big to post). Besides, I don't think that Grandma wants to be seen crashed on our couch or wandering sleep deprived through our house. Since then, the kids have run amok with toys scattered all over. We'll make another video to post, and then we can be done talking about our house forever!!! Until then, we find the "before" and "after" pictures of the exterior pretty fun.
