Wedding bells are ringing!

On Saturday, November 25th John Potter asked Audrey Edholm to marry him and she said yes!

Thanksgiving in Arizona

We made the 18 hour trip to Arizona to see Barry and Rebecca and their kids.  We had a great time as you can see by the pictures.

Park across the main street from Barry and Rebecca's house.  It was beautiful.

At the park there is a large pond and the cousins were trying to skip rocks.  A boy was watching us and Lucy could not get her rocks to skip.  He came up and helped her and showed her how to hold the rock and what kind of rock to pick.  It was really sweet.  She finally got the rock to skip and she thanked him for helping her.  I had to sneak a few shots of the whole thing in action!

 

Before our big meal we hiked to the A at Arizona State University. It was hot and steep, but a good pre meal activity

Afterwards we went downtown and saw the large Christmas tree set up and played around it a bit.

Eric being himself!

And Lucy being herself

Nice face Eric!

Some shenanigan videos, the first is in front of the above Christmas tree.  The second is in the car on the long trip down to Arizona.

Football season is over for the Worland Warriors. They made it to the playoffs for the first time in 9 years!  They lost the first game of the playoffs, but it was a good season.  The Football banquet was tonight and Andrew received a few awards.  He got his varsity letter and MVP offensive player as well as the Junior special teams award for his punting.  He had a great season!

Eric, the wrestler

Eric has been doing really well this year in wrestling. His first meet in Lovell he came in first place in the B bracket. They moved him up to the A bracket and the meet in Thermop didn't go as well. But, he rallied and today at the meet in Greybull he wrestled in the A bracket and came in second. He pinned his first guy and looked really good. Way to go Eric!
Click below to watch his third period pin. I stopped the video a second too soon as the ref slapped the mat for a pin.

BOO!

Halloween came and went.  It's not my favorite holiday, but Eric is especially creative and I had to post his costume.

The right half of him is Link and the left half is Rhett from the YouTube channel Good Mythical Morning.  The logo on his shirt is the show's logo that he cut out and taped to his shirt. It's a pretty funny show and this costume catches Eric's personality well.

I haven't posted any Van pics in awhile, so here is one:
