Jack took first place out of four schools in this year's speed meet.
The boy is fast. He loves running and he flies.
I love watching him.

Hunting
Jed, Jack, Grandpa Wheeler, Devin and one of Jed's work buddies, Lee, were able to hunt down these beauties. Jed has now got a bull elk, horned mule deer (buck-whatever), antelope and a cow elk in the last three years, so state of Nevada you can let him stop drawing tags now. Thank you.
What Brings Us Together Today
Pre-wedding sunset cruise.
Wendy and I have been friends since before we ever knew Wheeler boys.
Wendy too bad we didn't have a certain Suvvi's white get-up for the all white cruise. hehe
My hair! It was it's own entity.
All the big Wheeler's
At the reception, Jed and I were melting, MELTING, Cabo is hot. Muy calor. Muy humedad. We went on a stroll, where I took the opportunity to name all the flora and fauna for Jed. I know a surprisingly many plants, and if I don't, I invent.
The last morning we decided to go to breakfast. Maps led us astray. Well it led us to a private, gated place, where they thought we looked non-threatening enough to let us in and charge us good money for churros! BUT they were pretty amazing. I would now like to eat churros from Aqua every morning for breakfast please. I would also like the waiter who would tell me "eet ees my plezzzure" after I would tell him thank you. I told Jed he should use that line and accent as well.
Last Lake Day
Our last lake day was October 22. The temperatures were warm enough, but the water was freezing. Everyone was a little numb. We like our lake water in the bath water range of August temperatures.
Cold water didn't stop us from wakeboarding though. Here Jack is getting up for his first time. He wanted to try all summer but then would change his mind and stick to the ski trainer but he didn't want the lake season to end without saying he wakeboarded, so we got both him and Jara up but they couldn't keep going because they were shivering so bad from the cold.
Towel cuddling is necessary when you're freezing.
A great way to end our favorite past time.
Veteran's Day
My country tis' of thee, you are too hot for me,
so we are traveling to your purple mountain majesties
Normally about this time of the year I'm fed up with the heat and after I sweated through the veteran's day parade I told Jed we needed to get out of town before for the weekend! Pine Valley is perfect. Close, not too cold or hot and lovely mountain air.
I even dragged everyone to the little, old white chapel on Sunday. Renn enjoyed the acoustics a little too much so we had to return him to the wilderness.

EIght is Great
Jack is eight! He is a great eight-year-old. He is kind, he helps others and he tries to do his best to be obedient. I will often see him pause and think about what he is about to do and then sometimes I will see him chuck something with no thought for what might explode, break or otherwise occur, I'm going to assume this is typical in regards to what most little boys/wheeler men do?
His baptism was a great day. We were able to have almost of our family here. During the program I played the piano, Jed baptized and confirmed Jack, Grandma Wheeler spoke and Grandpa Alderete gave the closing prayer. Renn also contributed by throwing a ball in the font before the water which Jed later threw to the crowd in a maybe not so spiritual moment. (see) Afterwards, we had a soup dinner at the stake center with our family and everyone went crazy. I would like a basketball court for my dining room please.
Happy Birthday/Baptism Day Jack!
We love you!
