I'm a little late with my Favorite Friday Foto so here it is!!

Just playing dress up. (Some faces have been obscured to protect the innocent). Obviously I'm not the innocent!!

Another September birthday!! ABBY 15!!!

Just fifteen short years ago sweet, stubborn, loving, dramatic, funny Abby joined our little family!! Happy Birthday!!

Super Ref to the rescue!!!

We're so proud of our cute little referee!! (the socks are my favorite part).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!

We love you and can't wait to go to Disneyland again with you!!

It's a shut-out!! BYU 59 UCLA 0

Our trip to the BYU/UCLA game was well worth it. The Cougars rocked! So much fun to be back in Cougar stadium. Amy did not know the fight song but the band played it so many times throughout the smackdown, she was very familiar with it by the end. Next time you see her, ask for a vigorous rendition. She can deliver.

The weekend included a visit to the bookstore for all the proper game day accessories, a dinner out with Tim and Jalene, and a meandering trip through campus in search of warm grates, cadavers and such. Post game revelry continued at the Lott household with pizza, soda and UNO!! A blast!

We had a Birthday shout hurray!!

We celebrated our Olivia's 9th b-day this week. We enjoyed cupcakes with her class and opening presents then a surprise Friday trip to Disneyland with just Dad, Mom and Kate!!

We can't forget Girl's Camp!!

This year, like so many others, I was off to girl's camp with Emma and Abby. This year I went as Camp Director. We ventured into the Sierra Nevada mountains to the much acclaimed "Big Meadow". Bakersfield Stake has been going there for 25 years!! It was great fun and full of the spirit and both Emma and Abby came away with great memories. (By the way, that's me upside down on the zip line. Nice shot, huh? Thanks Vic!!)

We're so proud! Emma auditioned for the Fresno Youth Orchestras last weekend and was named second chair first violin in the Philharmonic! They have three orchestras and the philharmonic is the TOP!! I don't think she was expecting such a great result because when she saw the results she burst into tears!! We have been searching for an orchestra for her because her high school doesn't have one. The only high school orchestra in town meets during seminary which was not an option. This is an answer to prayers and a great blessing. This group is the touring group and will be touring in eastern europe next summer. What a fantastic oppurtunity for her!! We're thrilled!
