Josh had a great soccer season come to a close with the team party at Peter Piper Pizza. He really liked his coaches and played really well this year. Here he is with one of his coaches.

On the morning of Sept. 17, 2004 there was a bright white light in the northern sky, barely moving. It was incredibly bright, too big for a star and too round for a plane. Uncle Dave had us check it out. We looked through the binoculars and saw that it was a balloon. So then we got out the telescope to get a closer look. This is the picture we took through the lens of the telescope at 6:25am.

On Nov 13th, Becca and her Dad went on a Father/Daughter Outing. In addition to a great campfire, "inside/outs" (the new s'mores), javelina and coyotes, there was rappelling. She was excited to get up there and do it...look at that smile.

On November 11 the Grandview II ward Young Women had their Evening of Excellence. It was the culmination of each Young Woman picking a personal spiritual gift they wanted to work on. Rebecca chose Patience. There was a beautiful setup like a beauty pageant with flowers and lights and steps onto the risers on the stage. Some lovely music was playing and then they would read about the Young Woman. Here is what Rebecca's said:

Becca gets lots of opportunities for practicing patience in her wonderful family. Patience allows other gifts to shine through, such as forgiveness, an understanding heart, and kindness. Becca wants to continue working on this great gift.
