More Fall pictures!

Allie and Sam Darrington-Erkle for twin day during Homecoming week

Lovin Life!!

Life is great!!! We are really keeping busy- school- football games (just won the quarter final game- next week semi game), volleyball , girls basketball, fall "festivities", Harvest Dance, painting my new beet seed office, new church callings, picking apples, football senior night, weekend in Mackay, Trey's scouting, waiting up for teenagers, soccer games, enjoying the lovely fall weather... life is blissful! That's about all. Sorry- but here are tons of pictures of our recent life.

It's FALL!! almost

And so the year begins!

-Teague is a senior--

--Zachary is a junior

---Allie 7th grade

Trey is in 5th grade--

-Jaxon is in Kindergarten-

Allie is on the DECLO volleyball team- she has done great and of course loves it.

My friend told me that we didn't need to do a paternity test on Trey- cause he had to get his appendix out like the rest of them. So Zach was 8- Trey 10 and Teague was 12---Den was a little older. So if Jax is on schedule- either next year or when he's 14. Of course Dennie was working and coaching football 2-a-days so TD and I spent lots of time together. He was trooper and hardly complained at all. When we went in for his week check- he had been playing dodgeball-football and basketball, the Dr. said he's doing great. OK so I am getting really old- here is Den and I before my 20 year class reunion!!! I don't think there is anything better than Friday nights in the fall at the football field. Teague is #11 and Zach is #1. They are awesome. Here they are before their first game against Aberdeen- we won 24-21. Yeah Declo!

Here is Jaxon on his first day of school. He was so excited and is going to love it. He can't wait to read and do math. And he even got to start soccer today and has a game in 4 days.

Fall time fun

Summer Fun

We have had a great summer- here are a few of our fun times. Sorry about all of the pictures- but enjoy! We went to Hogle Zoo- Trey and Allie had never been- it was really hot and tons of fun. A couple of us went to Bear Lake where Trey had his last baseball tournament. We missed Dennie and Zachary- but someone has to work!

Trey had an awesome summer playing for the Mini-Cassia Braves. He is AWESOME!

Allie got to go on her first young womans camp- one of her great friends Sarah went too. They loved it.

Den and I are keeping up- his fire season is starting to get really busy and football starts this week.

Love summer- but also love school schedules! Weird to have a senior and junior and Jax is in school this year. We better live it up these last few days til school starts.

Zach's 16!!!

Well- my Zachary made it 16 years!!! We were talking today about ALL of his scary hospital stays- at least 25 days- I can't imagine our life without him. He helps me so much and keeps me in check and is such a support to all of us. Zach is a peacemaker and is just awesome. Can't say enough good about him. I know Heavenly Father loves me cause he sent Zach to my family.

Well- he may be 16- but it only true love (at least for now) is golfing. He went in half for his birthday gift and loves his new Cleveland Hybrids. Obviously. Love you Zach- Hope you have a wonderful year!!!

Memorial Day

We are a really blessed family. We come from a great heritage and I am so proud of my ansestors. Memorial Day is a really great day for us to spend time together. We went to Almo and Elba with Grandma Renee and she was able to talk about her family. Dennie didn't know his grandma- she died when Renee was only 12, it was fun to hear stories and learn about her.

Jaxon Grant and Mckell have a wonderful man they were named after. We love grandpa Beck and were able to all tell some of our great memories of him and grandma. They taught us so much and were such great grandparents. Here we are at Grandma and Grandpa Garrard's sharing memories. I miss calling my grandma and asking her random questions, but am so grateful we have the knowledge of forever families.

How fun it is to meet as family. We have the BEST family ever. I love to share memories and friendships. We are blessed to have one another.
