William's 12th Birthday
Amidst all of our activities, William celebrated his 12th Birthday.
He wanted some new headphones and dinner out at Huhot. He was ordained a deacon and got to pass the sacrament for the first time. He's such a great kid and we love him so much!

The Far Side of Fall
Well the fall went by quickly in Hyde Park. Some highlights -
- School is going well for all the kids. Henry and William both made Honor Roll for their first report cards. Tessa doesn't actually get report cards but she is rocking 4th grade..
- Halloween saw William, Henry and Jay at the Utah/Oregon State football game (Go Utes!) and Tessa sporting her best Rosie the Riveter:
- We stayed in Hyde Park for Thanksgiving this year and grilled steaks. It was yummy! We had a nice weekend at home and Tessa and I went to see the Cache Civic Ballet's production of The Nutcracker. It was great!
- Tessa had two big performances - her Musical Theater class did their own production of The Nutcracker and Tessa was the Chinese Dancer.
- Tessa also performed with all the 4th and 5th grade orchestra students from the northern part of Cache Valley at their Winter Concert. She plays the viola. The picture is terrible but you can make her out in the middle (kind of).
Only a few more weeks until Christmas!

Falling into Fall
I'm not really sure how I can be busier now that the kids are in school all day, but I am. It seems like there is always something to do and somewhere to go. But busy means not boring so I'll take it.
The next weekend I took Tessa to see a local theater group production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. It was really good and we had a lot of fun. Tessa has been really interested in musical theater lately so it was fun to share that with her. She is taking a Musical Theater class at a local dance studio this year and is excited to perform.
Tessa also signed up for orchestra. I wasn't sure that I wanted her to commit to another after school activity but she was really excited about it so we will try it for a year and see how it goes. She is playing the viola. Orchestra sign ups were across town one evening so I took all the kids with me. After we got her all squared away we went to Yogurtland, which for some reason I call Yogurt town. Oh well. It's a fun place to go, especially now that our favorite shaved ice place is closed for the season.
The first weekend after school started we went to Lagoon. Lagoon is an amusement park just north of Salt Lake City. We've never actually taken our kids but the Wrights of Brno were visiting from the Czech Republic and they wanted to go so we went. It ended up being a fun day. Henry and William loved the roller coasters and Tessa won two stuffed animals playing games.
