Fall is here

Ah yes, Conner the Mighty Hunter harvests a fine, tasty mule deer in the Little Lost River Valley, ID after two days of exciting hunting. Terrific job, Conner! (Maybe next year, we'll find one with antlers!).

Corey made the High School varsity soccer team and actually started every single game this season...we believe he is the first freshman to do so in the last five years (including his two older brothers)...nice job, Corey! [UPDATE: 11/6: Corey was just named ALL Conference 2nd Team defender as a freshman...something that neither of his older brothers ever accomplished as freshmen....congrats Corey!]

High school soccer season! Here is Kevin punching ball away and accidentally flattening his teammate Sheldon...it wound up in a Nacho Libre-style pile with Kevin on top...the boys had an excellent year again! [UPDATE: Kevin was just named FIRST TEAM All Conference for the second straight year...nice job Kev!]

Summer time fun

Temple day for Kyle (as part of prep for the mission to Netherlands/Belgium) was this summer. This is the Rexburg, ID temple.

DisneyWorld, Florida with the whole Knight clan...this was day one.

Kevin boogie boarding at Cocoa Beach, FL

Kyle, Cindy, and Kelli at Cocoa Beach...this was 30 minutes after we had a bull shark swim by a few yards away...

Kelli at Cocoa Beach, FL

Epcot Center (Disneyworld Florida) with the whole family

Kelli played softball this year (fastpitch) and did a great job! Here she is playing third base...is she going to get the ball?!?!?!

She got it! Nice Play Kelli!

Monkeyboy Conner did play a few innings at shortstop this year (usually in a double header after catching the first game).

Conner caught full time for his team this year...did an awesome job...and was a monster hitter!

You're out! Conner finishes off a well-executed block of the plate and gets the runner...

Picnic at Warm River, ID

Graduation!

Kyle Graduated! Finally done...and his mom had to arrange (and host) an all night party for the entire graduating class....mom and dad totally delirious when it was over.

One last sport! Baseball and then Kyle was done! Off to bigger and better things (hopefully)!

One of Kyle's final games...

Notice Kyle is pitching to his brother Kevin, once again....

Winter Activities

Kyle was named First Team All-Conference point guard (and was also named to the District Six all-star team) this year...he had a lot of fun....got a ton of press (he was always on TV news, radio, and newspapers and a number of his game broadcasts are online)....but mostly, just enjoyed the 'fun' part.

We've enjoyed watching him play and are now happy to have him move on to more serious things in life...(he said "no" to the junior colleges and small colleges that recruited him for basketball....he wants to go to dental school and feels like BYU Provo gives him the best shot at that career....so he's moving on)...(basically, he finally realized a few years ago that he's a short white dude and that the NBA is a real long shot.... so, he's okay with being a dentist.. :-) ).
