Birthday Girl--2 years old

One more cute picture of the birthday girl. Happy Birthday, Sophie---We love you!

Kynaston Update

First Day of School (after school) for Jessie and Taylor. We didn't quite catch a picture of them going in because they were so excited for school they made it into the school before I even thought of taking the camera out of the case.

Lexi will enjoy Pre-K as they call it. It's actually her almost 3rd year of preschool. The teachers are happy to have her help in class. She's happy to go and play with friends 3 days a week.

Anyone for a game of Red Rover. This is a frequent sight of our backyard. A gathering place for the neighbor kids. It's good for me because I know what, Where, and who? Aren't those the parenting questions?

My Kansas City Cheifs fans. This one is for Aunt Cole and Uncle Ben. Bri went to a game last week. He brought back the shirts for the kids. Taylor is a true blue fan of the Chiefs, however, I don't believe the girls care one bit:).

Hello to all. Hope all is well.

Well how is everyone down there, probably still warm? well I am working up here and getting cold. ok it feels great because I am warm blooded. it rained all last week it was fun and exciting. also thanks for sending me back my SD card, yes I have another one also I am buying elder Elders SD card from him so I can take a lot of pictures for ya'll. yes we got a baptismal date for Amry, she is 9 and her mom is a less active member, but her dad is not a member. I have exciting news. Amry wants me to baptize her! It is so exciting. I way excited, my first Baptism, that's cool. we are thinking about dropping Kara because she is blowing us off. also Dave, another investigator, dropped us yesterday that stunk big time. It is getting cold but I will just buy warm stuff here I think, unless you want to send me a tuk / beanie. that will be fine. I am going to buy some new shoes, they already have holes on the bottom of them. crazy eh? well my lower back, neck, (on Saturday I was stretching and kinked my neck and it hurt to turn right but today it feels a bit better). My wrist, the same wrist that I hurt playing football, is hurting, but I'll get over it hopefully. Well, I got to go so love peace and chicken grease. peace out. love ya'llElder Denny

Sophie's Choice.

COOPER: Madam did you fall? Let me help you up.
SOPHIE: I'm fine. I'm just enjoying the soft grass. It's exhausting running from the paparazzi all the time.
COOPER: Hey look, a potato bug under your hand.
SOPHIE: I'm in a dress, this is no time for bugs. Is that all you ever think about? Bugs and Coke?
COOPER: No. I'm actually thinking right now about a tractor. Are you sure you don't want me to help you up?
SOPHIE: You know how you could help me? Bring me cake. And presents. And balloons. And candles. And then sing to me. On key. And no bugs.

Happy Birthday gorgeous Sophie. We love you.

Introducing...

Hudson Wesley Torsell

Born August 28, 2007 at 2:50 a.m.

9 lb. 2 oz. (at least 2 lb. are in his cheeks alone!)

20 inches long

(Sorry I didn't have pictures of Becca or Ryan with him...I'll have to take some more tomorrow)

PEACHES! PEACHES! PEACHES!!!

Anyone that would like some peaches---either to eat now or to can, come and pick Dad and Norma's. They have two trees--about 2 bushells of peaches or more. They are now really starting to fall off the trees.

After about a week, I will pick or offer some to a neighbor or take them to school. I think it would be great if someone in the family could use them.

Thanks---
Pam

Draper Photos

Here are some shots of the last few weeks. I can't believe summer is over. We're all well. Hope you all are too.

I call this picture Super Grandma.
Great Grandma didn't sound quite as good.

This is our family photo in Yellowstone
at the lower falls after taking Uncle Tom's Trail.

Kenz and Mase playing in Firehole River.
Way fun.

Here's the family shot near Old Faithful.
This was our favorite geyser - Castle Geyser.

This is Sadie just looking cute. She was such
a trooper at Yellowstone.

I love this picture of Camrie.
We went for a hike in the Uintas a week ago.
This is at Cliff Lake.

Here's the back to school picture.
Mason is 8 and in 3rd grade.
Kenzie is 11 and runs the school in 6th grade.

I call this one - Growing Up Fast.
Sadie is such the roller and navigates the
entire room in about 2 minutes
by rolling and turning and rolling some more.

This is how we will be spending our Saturdays
for the next 2 months. Soccer, soccer, and more soccer.

It's Rylie's first year of soccer.
Those 4 year olds are so fun to watch play.
She looks cute in her too big uniform.

That's all from Lehi.

Guess who's at Snow?

I am officially big!

I'm going to school at Snow!

I started on Monday, and I am loving it!

Of course, I've been to the Ostler's house 5 out of the 7 days I've lived here!

I'm really having fun, and loving my classes!

Claim Your Can Opener

Who left a white can opener at Aunt Ruth Ann's on Saturday when we had the reunion? Ruth Ann is going to give it to Becca, (along with the pepper grinder I left) and we'd like to get it back to the owner.

Leave a Comment Telling What's Your Favorite Photo from the Denny Reunion

What a fun time at Thorne's for the Denny Family reunion. There were a lot of people there, but we also missed a lot of you who weren't able to make it. Hopefully next time!

Please help Kalyn become a better photographer. What's your favorite photo from the reunion, whether you were there or not.

(Remember, taking photos of people, outside, half-sun-half-shade, moving targets, no tripod, is not my specialty! Also with so many photos I had to optimize them a lot, which reduces the photo quality. If you hate your photo tell me and I will take it off.)

Sorry, I don't think I can attempt the names. If someone wants to list them for me, I'll edit.
