Goose Hunting

Brian shot his first goose last week. He had a blast! He went out with our good friend, Patrick up in Layton, UT. The goose had a leg and a neck band. For those that don't know, Brian explained to me that the leg band is rare to find on a goose or a duck and is like a trophy to hunters when they shoot a bird with a band. The band is to track the migration of the birds throughout the world. The neck band is almost unheard of and is something really, really rare. Brian was both surpised and excited to come home with this goose.

Soccer friends!!

Mckay loves soccer... and also his girlfriend. They played so well together, every game that Brian had (Brian came first in his soccer championship). They followed each other around... so cute.

Mckay's new bed & carols on sunday

Mckay finally got his own big boy bed. He loves it, although every once in a while he climbs into the crib to lay with his little brother.

The other night we heard a knock on the door and found a group of people dressed up singing Christmas carols. It was one of the coolest things ever because they had llamas! They were actually BYU students who rented the llamas for the day and decided to dress up and walk around Provo singing Christmas carols. Brian put Mckay in a jacket and ran out to see the llamas. Mckay kept making his horsey sounds as he pet the llamas (you can see this in the first photo). It was funny. Brian says that the brown llama even left a Christmas gift on our lawn. If you look at the second picture the llama is just beginning to squat a little to leave her present. Other than the parting gift it was really neatand Mckay loved it! He kept waiving bye and making the horse noises as the llamas walked down the street.

We are ready for Christmas!!!

Fall is just beautiful!!!!

We have a huge tree in our back yard...every fall we have a ton of leaves to pick up. This year Brian had a great helper(Mckay loves to help Daddy).
