golf

This summer Mitch and Sam took golf lessons at Fox Hollow. They loved it! Mitchell started hitting drives past 250 yards and Sam over a 150 yards!

Check out Sam's hair

Jenny, Phil, and the kids came over last night. Jenny was cutting and coloring my hair and Sam decided to use some of the extra bleach for highlights. Sam wasn't so sure about the foils but we thought he looked cute. Mark thought he and I looked like "Ghostbusters" fans.

Mitchell got a great haircut from Jenny! This time there was no wrestling involved.
After the haircut we had dinner together and had a fun night. Bodie and Carlee were cute as always.

Sam's Big Day!

Well, Sam might not think it is a big day but today he got braces. Here he is before his appointment.

Halfway Through the process, he was a good sport for this picture.

Showing off his patriotic braces. He was really tough and seems to be adjusting well!

Family Gathering

Saturday night Sam and I went to a BBQ at Stacy's house. My Aunt Lisa and my cousin Christine were there as they drove across the country. I don't think I have seen them since I was in 7th grade. Christine had her kids with her also. Charlie and Coralee were also there with their family. My parents were out of town. We had a fun time seeing each other and catching up. All the little boys had a great time together. Mitchell and Mark were up in SLC so they missed the gathering.

Sam's movie reviews

Sam started a blog of movie reviews. They are cute and really show his personality. Check them out. They are at"http://samslatestmoviereviews.blogspot.com/

Finally . . . .

We've got GRASS!!!! We are excited to have a backyard in and no longer have the big dirt pile behind our house. The dog isn't sure what to think about having grass, but the boys are very excited!

Bathing Beauties!

Sunday night Mitchell asked us if he could give the dog a bath. We said yes of course. Then there was a phone call for Mitchell and I went looking for him. He not only was giving the dog a bath but was taking a bath with her! We thought it was so funny. Sam's response was "Did Mitchell forget to take his meds today?" Can you tell that Sam has two therapists in the family? Sasha survived the bath and Mitchell had a fun time!

Exciting News

Katie and her boyfriend Mark announced their engagement! They are planning on getting married next spring. It is good to see Katie so happy! Here they are with the boys and Sasha last week!

Free Fishing Saturday

Saturday Mark and Mitchell braved the cold, hail, and rain to go fishing. It was free fishing day in Utah so the lakes and reservoirs were well stocked. Katie and Mark B. met up with them once the weather improved. They caught an Albino Trout and lots of other fish! They had a great day.

Friday Night Fishing

Mitch and Sam arrived and we had a great weekend with them. Friday night we headed to Highland Glen Park with some KFC and Sydney to go fishing. Mark had fun fishing!

Sam and Sydney had fun playing at the Park and Fishing. Sydney is being goofy in this picture. Sam thinks that Sydney is going to get revenge against him for something because of the look on her face.

Sam and Mark show off the catfish that Sam caught! We also caught a Rainbow trout! Luckily we had lucky fisherman Mitchell with us- he always catches fish when he goes out.

A Big Day!

Tomorrow is a big day for the Capell Family. Not only are Mitch and Sam arriving for the summer but Becca is starting college at Salt Lake Community College and Sam is graduating from Elementary School.



We are so proud of Becca. She is a hard working, responsible young lady. It is exciting to see her excitement at starting school and living on her own. She has grown up so much in the last year and half since she came to live with us. We love her and are glad to have her in Utah!






We can't believe little Sam is moving on from Elementary School. He is still our little Sammie! It amazes us the vocabulary and imagination he has. He is so smart and sweet.
And he definitly has his father's sarcastic sense of humor. This is a favorite picture of Sam from a couple years ago when he was taking care of me after surgery!
