Adams final game of the MBA season (video too)!

Adam did awesome his final game of the season. He scored 8 of the team's 40 points and they won in a big way. He got a ton of steals and rebounds and his dad was pretty excited. Most of the time the excitement was too much to remain focused on the job of cameraman but he did manage to get some shots.




He did so good he got a VIP visit with Santa and then dinner with Mom and Dad at Village Inn (His favorite... well at least his favorite that the parents could handle!)

Kaera

Kaera "in the middle" after family prayer hug. The kids did Kaera's hair so we decided we needed a shot together
Mohawk was beginning to fade by days end but she was still going strong
With a toothbrush and the confines of the tub you can keep Kaera out of trouble for about as long as a good shower takes.

Conference and PT Interviews

We did our biannual trek down to conference. Shad brought his friend Ammon and Uncle Laine got us some great seats up front. Glad Mitch was along for the tradition!
Sunday we had Mitch and family over and we enjoyed Sunday Afternoon session together. How great it is to have family around and prophets to teach us truth unfettered!
"MITCH!!!"
Kvinde and Mom at Parent Teacher interviews. Last one for that school and now she is at Fast Forward School. She's amazing!


One last FHE in the forest

Winter is coming so we had one last tinfoil dinner and Smores. The dinners had mixed reviews but we enjoyed each others company and what could taste bad when you are around such wonderful people eh?!!!










Kylie's birthday and other events

We had a a fun birthday with Kylie!
Raeghn made the gravy today in the blender and it exploded out all over the wall, under the counter on the light, and burnt her hands. It was quite a sight! She was yelling at me to come and turn it off while she was pushing down on the lid. I got it off but the pressure had built up enough that when she let off some pressure it went volcanic. Good times. It was fast sunday and the food was incredible. She is amazing and takes such good care of us!
We are looking forward to Kaera's first Christmas. She loves the tree and especially the decorations which she carries throughout the house. Can't wait for Canada!



10 Years!!!

A miracle down to the last mile! We had a humble little 10th year anniversary of the company's founding. A crazy ride it has been. Right up til this payroll that looked impossible without the Lord's help. He came through for us at the last minute. The day before I was to give my speech at the part I was told that we could not pay the employees for the month of Dec due to late payments and not enough work. It was not quite going to be the speech I wanted to give! Then we won about 4 contracts in 24 hours! We will likely have too much work for next year. My testimony of Lord's desire to bless us if we do our part is as strong as ever. Hallelujah. How blessed we have been. We have a great team of people who've been patient and hard working. I owe them a great deal. I pray I can one day be able to give them the harvest they have sowed through their diligence!





Over the hill....

We had a sort of a reunion of the geezers. We have played basketball together for the last 17 years every Saturday. Our bodies are slowly giving out and every Saturday is not happening so we thought we'd better get a picture. I'm the one in the wife-beater jersey (as some would call it!). Troy Pond, Mel Torrie Greg ___ , and Bryan Bates. So many good times fading into more more pounds and less hair.

Singapore

I got a trip to Singapore to try and land some contracts. Landed some amazing food. Here I'm eating what they call Chili Crabs and Pepper Crabs. OH MY GOODNESS!!! Amazing!Now for the other end of the spectrum! This is the most disgusting dessert I've had in my life. I didn't see them making it (this was recommended by one of my colleagues) and it is probably good. It looked like a big slurpee in a bowl except for the corn poured on top... Corn? The slushi part tasted OK but herbal tea flavor was a little different. Then underneath was a surprise of chili beans... Beans? I ate most of the beans but it was a feat!

Shopping was crazy but kind of exciting.
I only saw this one homeless person in the whole country. He had a pretty interesting setup with a bunch of umbrellas, a mat, and a bike to call home. I'll post more on Singapore later.


Kaera

Kaera digging into the ice cream.Her first experience with Jello! Crazy texture.
Love her Halloween ears
Adding a little color
When we have to shower in the morning, we can usually give her a wet toothbrush and put her in the tub and she's good for 15 minutes. She loves brushing her front four teeth!


Moving

Shad and Mitch helped move a friend who was out of commission. Bonding time! Don't know what to do with all those blessings huh Shad! Thanks Mitch
