No time for pictures today mom!

Hallee used to ask me to take her pictures on the way to preschool, now she tells me we don't have time and we have to hurry and get there.  I think it is because she likes preschool now and isn't trying to stall!
I am so excited that football season is over, it is so nice to have our weekends back!  Jonah is always moving on to the next thing.  Last week he had basketball try outs.  Our neighbors told us about that bantam league and a lot of Jonah's friends were trying out so we didn't want him to miss out.  There were tons of boys there.  You can see Jonah going in for a layup if you look really close.  Jonah did well on both nights of try outs, now we are just waiting for the results.  They have A teams and B teams.  Provo High School is trying to train these boys to play for them.  I really hope Jonah ends up on a team with his friends for his sake as much as mine!
I'm loving not taking Jonah to practice during the week too!  On Thursday night we all worked together to get the house cleaned and the yards done.  I loved watching Hallee follow Keith around the whole back yard.  She sure looks up to her dad, she is lucky to have such a good one.
These two sure love to fight, but I know they really love each other.  I loved coming downstairs and finding them watching TV like this. 
On Saturday Keith and I were able to go to the Payson temple to go through with Sonia Briggs for her first time.  I got to know her a couple of years ago when we were put together as visiting teaching partners.  Keith starting working with her boys in young mens around that same time.  Her husband passed a few years ago and Keith really took those boys under his wing.  We were so happy to hear that Kevin is going to serve a mission in a couple of months.  It was great to be in the temple with Sonia and see a few people from the old ward.  
After the temple we took the kids to a park.  They needed to get some energy out before we left them again for our Stake Conference meeting.
We all had fun playing in the park.
It was a great way to break up the day for all of us.
The kids had fun playing in the canyon after our pictures on Sunday.  There were plenty of places to explore.
I am loving the cooler weather!
