We also played with the bee's! My brothers and Dan's brothers got along really well, so no one tried to get anyone else stung! Jonathan was the only one to get stung. Shelby loved spraying the bees to stir them up so they'd be mad and move around more! Don't worry, Mckenzie stayed in the car with Grandma Bastian and Aunt Bree!

Dan playing on the 4-wheelers




We loved playing on the 4-wheelers. We had lot's of races and the boys tried to see how high they could jump! Dan's brother, Jonathan, fell off one and it came really close to hitting him!

Well, I finally am getting these pictures up on the website. They were taken when we took Dan's younger brothers to Colorado for Labor Day weekend. So, even though they were from a little while ago, I thought I'd post them anyway.

Well, we've had quite the busy November! Jessica flew in early to Colorado for Thanksgiving and was able to spend mroe time with her family. Then, Dan flew in the day before Thanksgiving. My parents went to the Cayman Islands during Thanksgiving so basically took care of everything. I really don't know how my mom and dad do everything they do! We were so packed with fun things to do and by the end we were exhausted. But, it was well worth it! Saturday we went snowboarding (well, Max went skiing while the rest of us snowboarded) at Breckenridge. I was amazed at how nice the snow was especially for it only being November! I can't wait to go boarding at Christmas time. My (Jessica) Grandma Whaley took care of Mckenzie while we went and they seemed to have a good time. So, for all the many things we did, we're glad we went. We truly are blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We can't wait to go to Colorado for Christmas!

We're so excited, yet scared! Mckenzie has been rolling over from her tummy to her back for awhile now. Well, a few days ago she decided to pick up on rolling both ways. So she's getting around some more we know that soon we'll have to baby proof our home. Oh well, it's worth it. Seeing her learn and develop all these new skills is fun! She continues to love music and is very tickelish. Well, it seems that Dan and I are the boring ones. We never have too much new news to share, but we always have new things to share about Mckenzie. Oh well. Most people really just want to know how the baby is anyway.

Mckenzie's first Halloween!


Dan's first time teaching Mckenzie about computers. Mostly likely by the time Mckenzie is 5, she'll know more about computers than Jessica.


I guess it's good that Mckenzie likes to take baths.


We've had lot's of fun lately! Mckenzie loves to taste all the different types of food! We think her favorites are applesauce and sweet potatoes. Halloween was good. She ended up being a Bronco Fan (I'm sure Max is proud)! The next day she got the funniest costume from Grandma Bastian which she'll use next year. Dan has been so busy lately, but he tries hard to make time for Mckenzie and I. Today Elder Oaks came to BYU-Idaho and spoke at the devotional. Dan and I usually don't get a chance to listen to the devotionals, but we did today and it was wonderful! Those of you that have been in Rexburg, you wouldn't believe the building that is going on lately. It's crazy! Last week, Elder Bednar (I still have a hard time not refering to him as President Bednar) was up here for the groundbreaking of the new stadium which will be indoors and will seet 12,000 people!! We are so excited to go to Colorado for Thanksgiving. It will give Dan a little break from school and then he'll prepare for finals. Oh, the joys of finals.
