 Competition is over...finally he can have cheese cake! This is one of his favorite desserts. :)

 

Well, this was one of the biggest competitions Roy has done.  He competed in Nationals for the first time on November 9, 2012.  The competition was held in Reno, Nevada.  This was the best Roy has ever looked, and he had a chance to meet his trainer, Kioshi Moody, in person for the first time. Roy competed in the Junior Masters and the Open Tall divisions.  He came in third in the Junior Masters!  We are so proud of him.  He had a great experience.  There were so many good pictures I am sure I missed some really good ones.  I thought I would show a bit of a time line of his whole trip.   

Roy's Birthday

 

 Roy, Ammon & Jessica right before going to the temple. :)

 

Roy's birthday was on November 4th.  We were able to celebrate, but not really with cake and ice cream since Roy had a competition the next weekend.  He was able to save some yummy cheese cake though to eat after his competition was all done. :)  We were able to find a nice case to put all of Roy's competition trophies in.  They used to be just collecting dust in our bedroom, and no one could see them but us.  I thought it would be a good idea to put it in a nice case so people would be able to see all the hard work he has put in.   

The day before, we were able to take Jessica & Ammon to the Provo Temple and do baptisms there.  It was Ammon's first time doing this.  It was great because we were able to do family names as a fmaily and Roy's parents were working in the baptistry as well.  It was a neat experience! 

Halloween 2012

Well we had another fun year this Halloween.  Amanda wanted to be a cowgirl and Kaitlyn was Rapunzel.  They had so much fun dressing up!  We pretty much did our tradition.  We went to the pumpkin walk my work does every year.  They do such a great job.  They had a pumpkin carving contest and a bunch of fun games for the kids.  Here are some pictures of the festivities.  We also had Amanda's school Halloween Parade.  It was fun to watch all of the kids dressed up.
