Decade dance
The first Friday in October, Megan and Connor's school had a decade dance. It was loud and there were lots of kids. That's about all I have to say about it. The kids had fun though.
Vegas and Tucson
At the end of September Daniel had to go to Interbike for work. He was gone for a week giving bike demos, seeing reps, saying hi to old friends, checking out all the new stuff and whatever else he does on his work trips. He also had some pretty cool Pivot lunch boxes made. I'll have to get a picture of them.
While he was gone we had our ward camp out. We all really wanted to go so I packed up the kids and headed to the mountains in Tucson. I thought it would be rocks and dirt but it was gorgeous. Lots of pine trees and greenery which is my favorite. I even put up the tent all by myself. I don't have any pictures because Daniel had the camera with him but it was lots of fun.

Campout in the backyard
Connor's first month of school was rough. He just wanted to do his own thing. The teacher has a color system to let you know how the kids behaved each day. Connor was not coming home with good colors. After much frustration and thought we tried to come up with a reward system that would be motivational enough for Connor. This was the first reward: sleeping in the backyard in the tent. He loves camping. We told him that if he came home with a good color everyday that we'd have a camp out. It worked. Hooray! Of course our problems aren't over but we've seen improvement and that's a start.

The Killers in Concert at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix 9/24/09
I LOVE The Killers. They are one of my favorite bands and I think this might have been my favorite concert ever. It was definitely up there. They played all my favorite songs. I was very excited about Spaceman and Read My Mind. The opening band was the Nervous Wreckords and they were pretty good too. Our friends Russ and Misty Ward came with us. It was a great night!
Next band that I have to see live: MUSE!!!

Vegas baby, Vegas!
Last September, Sarah and I embarked on our first girls trip and went to Forks, WA. After having our eyes opened to how much fun a girl's trip is we decided to make it a tradition. This year we went to Vegas and hip, hip, hooray, Kira came too! We had SO much fun. We slept in, read magazines at the pool, ate yummy food, walked on the strip, danced and did quite well playing blackjack. I can't believe I didn't take more pictures.
I don't have any sisters, only one brother, so for me to gain 3 sisters by marrying Daniel was the best wedding present ever.

Lake Havasu
The Bullocks invited us to go to Lake Havasu with them for the weekend. It was an absolute blast. The kids went on the tube, I tried and failed to get up on the wakeboard, we swam all day and jumped off cliffs. After the weekend we were tired and sunburned but nobody wanted to go home. I understand why people buy boats now. Connor wants to live in one.

Summer Art Camp
Megan is the artist in our family. By age 4 her art skills surpassed my own (but that's not really saying much). Her favorites things to draw are animals, of course. We put her in a 1-week art camp over the summer and she really enjoyed it.
Summer Fun in Cali
To save ourselves from the heat we decided to get the heck out of Dodge (or Phoenix as the case may be) and visit our family in CA. We had a wonderful time with the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Some of our adventures included: Castle Park, Zoomar's bunny farm, the beach, and Legoland.
