Fall!

I LOVE FALL!

In September Paul and some other neighbors did a bike relay race called
SALT TO SAINT!
They rode there bikes from the capital in Salt Lake to Saint George.  They rented a motorhome for those not riding at the moment. They had a great time and each totaled roughly 100 miles! Here is Paul and MJ riding a leg together on the west side of Utah lake.  Jill and I went to cheer them on!




The kids made signs and cheered them on!




*******************
Here is some cute artwork from Alice.  The piles stack up on a daily basis, so I'm saving some favorites to take pictures of & remember!


Grandma & Grandpa Calton are such wonderful grandparents, we love them so much!

Alice is loving her tumbling class.  Here are her splits that she is working on!

Like Father Like Son!

Alice showing Drew a movie on the iPod Touch!

I was cleaning up toys on afternoon just days before Ashley's birthday and found this written on the magna doodle!  I love little tender mercies like this.  I wonder how close some times Ashley and Alice really are, brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it!

Looked outside to check on Cole playing in the backyard and he was just hanging out on this rock!  He's such a cute little guy.


And here he is helping raking of the endless leaves in the backyard!
Such a good helper!
*****************
BYU's Blackout Game!!!
This was the Homecoming game, which they invite former player to a little pre game thing and then have them come on the field during half time!  Cole went on the field with Paul and loved it!  Paul kept telling Cole this was the field he would play on someday!  
I'm not so sure...I don't want the possibility of him getting hurt, with all the concussions and stuff these days.  What's safest position...kicker...maybe he could do that!!! :)
We just stayed for the first 1/2, but we had a great time!
