Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!  Tonight, Angela and I went out with the boys, while Kirstyn and Melinda Liddell stayed back, watched Disney movies, and handed out candy.  Brittany went with Taylor (her new “boyfriend”) out with some of his friends in Highland’s Ranch. The boys were really excited!  We went out to our neighborhood and then […]

Feeder Choir Concert

Tonight they had a feeder choir concert at the high school where they invited all the choirs from the elementary schools and middle school to sing together.  Brittany was able to participate in that in Versailles. Unfortunately, with the late start and because the school is new, Aspen View Academy didn’t get to participate in

Halloween Party with Friends

Tonight we were invited over to the Rollingson’s home for a Halloween party.  It was a ton of fun!  We had some great food, and then in groups we went out on a flashlight scavenger hunt for candy.  They have about 10 acres or so of mostly unimproved land, so it was like taking a

Trunk-or-Treat and Senior Night

Tonight we had trunk-or-treat at the church and had a great time!  There were a few Captain America costumes there, and one of Ben’s good friends dressed up like that as well!  🙂 There was a pumpkin carving contest tonight as well.  Zach came up with this crazy idea of having the “Halliday Haunted Hotel”

Brittany College Acceptance!

Tonight, Brittany and Angela went to a Utah State reception (similar to the one that Sarah and Angela went to in Illinois).  Brittany took her ACT score and transcript with, hoping to get accepted and to get some scholarship money… She was accepted and given the out-of-state tuition scholarship!  🙂 She is SO excited!  Right

Dinner with Friends

Today after church, we went to dinner at the Pedersen’s, some friends of ours from the ward.  They’re great friends and Zach and their son Casey are joined at the hip!  It’s funny to watch them.  Casey said that Zach “gets him” and that’s why he likes Zach so much.  🙂  We all had a

Fall Break

This whole past week has been fall break and it’s been nice to have the girls home.  The boys still had school because of their late start and didn’t get fall break.  We got a chance to work a little bit on our garden spot as well.  The new hospital has a garden box area

Marching Band Regionals

Today Mom and Dad left to go back home so we’re again back down to the 5 of us.  🙂  We had a lot of fun with them. Today, the girls didn’t have school due to fall break, but they did have their regional competition for marching band.  We were not able to make it

REALLY Busy Day!

Happy 20th Birthday Sarah!  It’s hard to believe that we have a 20-year-old!  Yikes! She’ll hit number 21 as she’s out on her mission, but will be home shortly thereafter!  Time is really flying! This morning, we all got up early and went to a benefit 5k for a little girl named Presley who has

Football and Marching Band

Tonight, Brittany and Kirstyn played their halftime show wonderfully well at the football game!  I’m now a full-fledged Pit Parent and am enjoying it.  I’m getting to know some of the parents which is good. Mom and Dad Halliday came to the game to see them play and we all had a great time!  We
