Best friends. Kimberly Coon and Anela Afa
Cousins. Gerry Afa, Anela Afa, Lydia Curtis, Ariana Afa, Foster Curtis and Dallin Curtis.
Gerry took 4th place in the ribbon pull at the Rush Valley Rodeo! He had to run and pull the ribbon off of a sheep's tail as fast as he could. He won $25. Not bad for a kid who was not even expecting to compete, and was wearing sandals!
Cutie pie kid!
My daddy with his girls. :) This was the day that I was sealed to my husband and kids.

Now Anela and Mommy get to spend a lot of time together while the kids are at school.
Anela's first time on the horse. She loved the horses, until she was close to them! It took her a while, but she finally took a ride.
Gerry's first time without being led. He did really well, except that he wanted to run! Gerry is my fearless child.
Ariana's first time without being led. She also did really well.

We spent Ariana's birthday (September 4th) out at my mom's in Rush Valley (Above pictures, same time) She got a lot of art supplies and projects. The next day, she made herself an easel to work on one of her new projects. I love this picture of my little artist!
Kids being silly with daddy. (Anela was already in bed)
"scared" faces

Top view of Ariana's hair do for her baptism. It took a long time, so I did it the night before.
Back/side view. I am learning how to do the "fancy" hair do's because I loved it when my mom did my hair "fancy". I am not nearly as good as her, but learning.
Ariana getting ready for her baptism. My mom made the dress. Ariana picked out the pattern, fabric and ribbon.
Kids getting ready to leave for the stake center.
Ariana and Daddy after the dunk. Daddy was so nervous, he held her hand out of the water and had to dunk her twice. Ariana asked me why the mom of one of the other kids and I were crying. LOL!
Ariana just being silly making a face.
Ariana reading a story to two of her cousins. Bryndee and Brighton with their soon to be step-sister. Jessica, and Jason came out to my mom's house. We got to meet Jessica's fiance Anthony, and his daughter. We need to spend more time with Jessie and Jason and their families. My kids love that they actually have cousins who live less than a thousand miles away! A couple weeks later, Jessica's 4 kids spent the night at our house. Fun!! :)
Same day at my mom's. Gerry and Jordan playing with Jordan's video game.

Ariana's hair on Wednesday of her star student week. Her teacher loved it so much that she took a picture so that she could try it out on her niece. However, I was not happy with how it turned out, so.......
I did a better star in her hair the next day. Miss Springer, took a picture of this one too. I like it when people appreciate my hard work! :) I love doing fun things with Ariana's hair!!
Anela loves to exercise!!
Saturday before Halloween. Getting ready for "trunk or treat" at the church. Darth Vader, Pirate and Vampire. (I had a hard time getting a good picture)
Ariana was "Star Student" of her class last week. This is the poster she made to show and tell about herself. She was so excited to be start student!
