Anyway here are the two coats made them both in a day plus bonus the fabric i supposedly needed was to much so i have enough for 2 more coats so hopfully i can sell them on etsy.

1st snow Today

1st Snow and kyler wanted to go outside. Good thing this year he has all is gear ready so he's not cold and can have fun. Not much snow but he sure had fun with it.

I managed to get a shot of some of it falling

Ninja ran out of the pic to fast he was trying to have a snowball fight with him. Though i don't know if you can call is a snowball fight when ninja can't fight back.

Brooklyn and i stayed inside nice and toasty. Then kyler finished is fun day playing in the snow with some nice "warm water" aka Hot chocolate.

Kyler's 1st BYU Game

On october 22 we ended up all getting to go to the BYU Game Against Idaho State. Kurtis' uncle Kenny has season tickets and all his family couldn't go plus kurtis ended up getting Hunter's(cousin) ticket before and was going like a week before kyler and i were. It ended up that there was a almost a dozen of us family there. Kurtis grandpa has season tickets too so Kimly and Jon sat next to them. Plus we'll i'm not exactly sure how there realated i think its kurtis' great aunts sons daughter. if that isn't to confusing for you. anyway she plays the piccalo in the band and it was parents day so her parents were there too. Who would have thought i would get a tan on in the end of october.

kyler had to have his own seat to get in but he sat on grandma's lap most of the game. he was her date grandpa didn't want to go.

Cosmo Kyler's favorite person there,

The Beggining of the game

Edwars Stadium before everyone got there

This is Kurtis, His uncle Kenny, and Mom Janet and kyler at our seats

Grandpa Willams took us all to breakfast before the Game

This is Kyler doing the end of th Fight song his favorite part was after the song ends the cougar growls and he loved it.

OCTOBER

We really quick the 2nd to last weekend in october got to go up to Kurtis' grandpa's cabin near Price UT. Kurtis loves to go there and they cabin is way nice. We bring a generator and it has a tv and dvd player so at night the kids got to watch a movie while we played games.

These are HUGE Petroglyphs way up on a rock face Kurtis said that when they were younger he and his brother tried to climb up to them and the closest they could get is where the trees are in the corner of the pic which was like 20 ft below them. He's convinced that they repeled to make them.

These one's were just off the road i liked this one cuz i said it had a little mexican guy (or cowboy) in the lower left corner.

We saw all these on our LONG way home. we decided to take the back way out and it ended up taking us 2 hours to go 15 more miles. but we did get to see a lot of cool stuff.

Here's a pic of 5 generations of andersons if you include the pic of Kurtis' great grandpa in the pic behind them.

We went up for the Deer Hunt or that was the excuse anyway. They only saw like 3 deer the whole time and only one of those was a buck but We all had fun. This is kyler in his orange.

And yet again.

This is Brooklyn after we got back from our hike. With her little rosey cheeks and nose. We went up to the top of the 1st ridge and were on our way back down when we found Kyler and Janet so we went back up with them. I was in my very "Best" hiking shoes. I ended up going up in my no traction $1 croc like clogs from walmart but hey no problems so it was all good.

And this is her orange i figured since i was wearing an orange hat this should be enough orange for the both of us.

1st day of Ragnar training

kyler fell asleep around the last corner and man was he out sorry to say brooklyn was wide awake.

Ok so as a family we decided we're running ragnar this year. For those of you who don't know what it its its a cross country relay race from logan to park city ut. It take 12 people each running 3 legs 2 days and covers 192 miles. The aveage runner runs about 15 miles over the two days. but up and down mountains during the day and the night in whatever weather June 15 and 16th will have for us. So anyway thats what i've gotten myself into. So i decided today before it gets cold again i would start my training.

Well i think the world or karma didn't want me to start today. I decided to get some music ready to train to so i know what song i want where. I always listen to music on my runs anyway so i just i figured i would get some pump up songs and ones with a good steady beat i could have a good pace to. Since i did that i didn't even thing about acutally getting outside till 11:30. But since kurtis called and said he wouldn't be home for lunch i figured ok so i got the kids ready in warm clothes with a warm bottle and hot chocolate for kyler and out we went. .... and thats about where it stopped momentarily anyway. i had a tire that was flat so i figured no biggy mom and dad got kurtis an air compressor for chirstmas last year so i was just going to air it up quick easy done right. ... WRONG. My tire had a huge bust out flat. so off to walmart got the kids in the car. got the tire and some ink and back home we went. Got the tire on and off we went. Mind you a storm in coming in so the wind was a little crazy i tried to keep the kids out of it for the most part. all that for a 15 min run. WOW lol any way here are some pic from our first day.
