First Snow of the Year

Dallin with his friends, Brock and Sara, making snow forts for "battle".

Welcome Benjamin Elijah Hoxer!

Here is the newest member of our family! Blair's wife had his baby on Sept. 26 and it was just such a great experience being there with my little bro.





What a special little baby he is, we are so happy to have a new cousin and nephew. We know Ben will grow up to be strong and smart and healthy. We love you Ben!

Happy Birthday Drew!

Here are some belated birthday pictures of Drew's birthday.....

Skipping Rocks by the River

One Sunday afternoon we took a drive up to the South Fork area to have a picnic and enjoy the beautiful Snake River.



We had a fun time playing around in the water....it was freezing!


Doug was showing Dallin how to skip a rock in the water and Drew found a buried car.


We ate some lunch, went exploring and had a great time.....Dallin even got caught off guard by a big snake that was about a foot away from him!

Apple Pickin'

We finally have pictures to put up! I am a little behind, so you will be seeing things from the past few months that I am posting. Anyway, this is us picking apples from our apple tree.
Once we got all the apples picked, we worked hard making applesauce and canning it!
The boys had fun picking the apples, and had even more fun smashing the apples with the grinder and seeing all the "guts" come out.
Our applesauce turned out yummy and it was a fun time with Grandma Kammeyer!

Dallin's Darndest

So last week was the Primary Program, I'm sure you are all aware. Dallin had a speaking part that we practiced over and over and over. When he got to the pulpit to say his part, he did fine until he forgot Elder Uchdorf's name. He stood there blank with an embarrassed smile on his face for a second then says quietly to himself (in the microphone so everyone could hear), "Oh, what's his naaaammmme?" and the whole congregation busted up laughing. Then someone came to his rescue and he proceeded with the remainder of his part. When he was finished he puts his mouth right to the microphone with a big old smile and says, "OK. BYE BYE!" real loud and that just topped off the whole thing. I was laughing so hard I was crying and my face was SO red! People around me were laughing and looking at me to see my reaction to that one.
Then while they were singing "Called to Serve", he was marching like a soldier the entire song. Then when it was finished, he stops marching and gives a big salute at the end.
After sacrament people were just cracking up and coming up to us and saying thanks for having Dallin here to give them a good laugh for the day! I just said, "Leave it to Dallin to entertain everyone". What are we gonna do with that little stinker?

CONGRATS LUIS!

My cute sister Lindsey announced Friday that she is expecting another bubba! Here is what she sent everyone via text message. Blair thought it was just her Halloween costume. But HOOORRRRAAAAYYYY! Can't wait to see the little monster!
