Halloween 2009

Halloween is always great in the Gooch Home - for one . . . it's Doug's birthday!  We love our neighborhood during the fall.  Everyone sits in their front year, and has their patio fire pits all lit.  It's so fun to socialize and have friends and family come by to trick or treat.  We usually have someone over to hang with us and help pass out candy.  This year we had our friends Rex & Kailynn hang with their kids because they wen't in their new home yet.  We also had Tracey O'neill over.  We love Tracey.  She is such a great friend to our family!!  She is moving back to Scottland - we hope she gets back in time for Christmas.

Date Night

Doug surprised me the other night with an already planned evening. We went to our usual "Gecko Grill" - but then he took me to the park for a "just us" reading a book together. We have already read 3 books together from the same author, so we are starting on his new book. We never seem to have the time to read together lately. I loved the peacefulness we had together - it was great!!

Go Gooch! Go Dawgs! & G3 Primary Program

Tucker has been playing Tackle Football since Aug - and camp since July. It's been a fun season - but I am secretly hoping it's going to end soon. It has been a commitment - but worth it. I'm not going to bear my testimony of football or anything - but there is something to be said for the discipline that goes with sports. He has had to work hard for his position - and sometimes he works hard and doesn't start at all. He defiantly has to endure things to the end and do it well. I appreciate activities that my kids are involved in that teach these life lessons. -- GO DAWGS!

Primary Program

Also - we had our primary program in our ward this week. I love the primary program every year. I love feeling the sweet testimony's from all the adorable kids. Since our church is at 8:00 we have to do a lot to make sure we are on time (which is about 50%). I thought the boys did a great job! They also did a great job preparing the clothes the night before! I thought they looked great!

We tried to hike to Timpanogas Cave - but it's closed during the week.  So we wend up the other trails - soooo beautiful!
