Rock-to-ber
WOW! The month has come and gone, and well, lets just say that I am having a hard time keeping up with life! Here is a little sampling of what this "Rockin" busy month had in-store for the Stephen Scoresby fam.
We went to a Halloween Party at Uncle E-bays house. It was tons of fun to see all of the cousins and Aunties and Unc's all dressed up! Mikayla didnt attend this party with us, as she is much too big too hang with the family, and decided that her friends party was more important. Grandma and Grandpa Scoresby even joined us. Kristel and Ev did a great job! (We missed our Blake and Aunt Nen's fam though. We miss them!)
-Gotta love Steve's mullet and wife beater shirt. Funny thing happened though, on the way home from the party, we got a flat tire, and he had to change the tire with his wig on. I really did try hard not too laugh
We also made carmel apples this year. I have decided, that it is better too not go cheap when making these wonderful, mouthwatering treats. Kayla, Mace and I had a blast making these. Might I suggest that buying the carmel and dipping chocolate at the Bosch store is the best place too go. Oh and dont forget to wash the wax off of the apples. They were divine, and teachers, and friends LOVED them! I think that we will make this a new tradition.
Carving of the pumpkins-yet another fun tradition at most peoples homes. This year was a little different. All of our kids are growing up and thus, they have become very independant. They like to carve and clean their own. Although it is a wonderful thing, it tends too be very very messy. Especially if your name is Mace! As you can see I put a plastic table cloth on the floor and both kids are ontop of the table cloth with knees and arms in goop! Yes, we had to wash the floor, baseboards, and walls. Mikayla on the otherhand opted too not carve her vegtable, as she hates getting her hands dirty!
Late overs-Yes, we do not do sleep overs at our house (unless it is with cousins). Due to the fact that the kids do not sleep well, and come home cranky. But we do do lateovers. Well here is our latest late over this past weekend.
Mikayla was at a party, Mom and Dad were at a party. Mace even went to a party, but came home at nine. Meg had her own little party with her BFF Olivia. We came home at 10:30 to find this on our couches. Now mind you, this is not the first time that these two girls have fallen asleep at their late overs.
Here is Livy-catching a few Zzzzz's. It took me about 3 minutes to wake her. And here is Megs catching her Zzzzz'z. Good thing the house didnt burn down or that there were not any intruders. They would have slept through the entire thing!
And Lastly-HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
This year we let the girls decide what we were going to do for the festivities. Mikayla and Megs decided that we were going to be a family of "Hobo's. It was a riot. All of us but Mace dressed up like homeless people. We celebrated with our friends the Ellis's and Tracy. We built a fire in the fire pit out front, and had taco soup, chili, cornbread, hot cider, hot chocolate and candy for anyone who wanted any. It was so much fun! We of course had fun music playing, and Steve set up a campfire ring for all of our traveling friends and trick or treaters to stop by for some warmth.
I have decided that there is never a dull moment in our lives. And yet, I wouldnt have it any other way.
What a great way too start of the holiday season! Thank you too all of our great friends and to my awesome kids who love too party just as much as their mama! :) (I think Steve likes it too, but he will never admit it!)

It's Official!
Fall is here! Usually, I love every single season in Utah. We get all four of them! It is wonderful. It is one of the reasons I love living here. You get the beautiful warm spring and its blossoms, The HOT summers, the cool crisp fall, and the cold but not Idaho freezing cold.
But, because I am freaking in 'menopause" I am HOT all of the time! So, this crisp air is wonderful for me.
How do I know its here?
-First sign***You can find Egg Nog! Our family is Egg nog junkies!
--Second sign-is the jackets come out in the morning and are off by afternoon.
--Thirdly, and our fave is the falling leaves! The best mess of fun around!
--The hot chocolate comes out.
--I can find three kids cuddled in fleece blankets as they watch TV or read.
--I start to feel "Bakey".
--New Episodes premiere.
--All of my favorite holidays are upon us.
--Im a football widow to BYU season tickets.
--I start thinking about all of the Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities.
--Dance Competition season starts all over again.
I LOVE FALL!

One of our greatest blessings
We (I) have been so extremely blessed in my lifetime. Most people Steve and I's age's grandparents and sometimes even parents have passed away. I was lucky enough too not only know both of my fraternal grandparents, but I have known my Maternal Grandparents my entire life. Until two weeks ago.(Hence the lack of blogging)
I recieved a call from my parents last Saturday that my Grandpa Jensen passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was 87 years old, and full of life up until the last two days of his life. He was healthy, strong, had all of his wits and faculties about him. He was getting feeble as 87 isnt a young spring chicken anymore. They still drove and didnt have any old people disease. The other great thing is that they have been able too take care of themselves.
My Mom and Dad live one mile away from them, so they are able to go help them mow, shovel snow etc. Once a week my parents took them into to town to dinner, and my Dad has taken my Grandpa fishing every week in the summer. It has been a great thing having my folks there too take care of them indirectly.
My Grandmother has been the one that has been sick. So when he started not eating a getting wobbly and weak the few days before he died, my Grandmother was a little worried. My father and Uncle gave him a blessing last Saturday Evening. It was a blessing of peace and assurance that he had led a marvelous life. It was a blessing to reassure him that my Grandma would be ok. This blessing was at 5 o clock. He napped for several hours and at 7:54 PM my grandfather woke up, took two breaths, and was gone. Asleep in his chair. It was sweet and peaceful.
My grandmother told me that both of her prayers had been answered, even though you are never ready for anyone to die. She said that she prayed that Grandpa would go first, and she prayed that they wouldnt have to do a winter funeral. (Idaho winters are NOT fun!)
I went home for the week. Stephen and the kids joined me the day before the funeral. As the oldest grandchild I had lots of beautiful moments to serve my grandparents that week. I am grateful that I was able to be at home. The service was beautiful. Grandpa led a great life. He never judged a soul. He always made everyone feel great and he accepted everyone.
I got to help organize the service and order flowers. And spend some time with my grandfather alone at the mortuary. I will miss alot about my grandpa-but I will miss trying to smooth the wrinkles out of his hands, and I will miss playing with his big grandpa ears. I hear his laugh in my head everytime I think of him.
Here are the secret service agents---Darrin Preece, Dustin Preece, Travis Jensen, David Jensen, Jared Jensen, Logan Jensen, Curtis Pena, Brad Nuttal.
It had been snowing and raining all week I was there. The weather was beautiful for the funeral.
Here is Steve and I waiting for the Dedicatory Prayer.
It was a sad but good day. We will miss our Grandpa Jack

NO I AM NOT!!!
Alot of my friends, family and aquaintences that we know, have been posting on their blogs and on Face book that they are pregnant! That they are having a boy, or a girl, or in some cases a couple of boys. I love it, its cute and I am totally excited for them. I just thought that I would inform all of my loyal readers and followers, that "I AM NOT PREGNANT". nor is it physically possible any longer. BUT a big congrats to all of you who are. I was just feeling a little left out-now I am good, and will be happy to spoil all of those little babies that are about too be born!

Bike 2 Bike Heber Century Cancer Ride 2009
If you are an avid Scoresby Scoop Blog reader, then you will remember that last September my family rode this Heber Century ride for The Huntsman Cancer Center. All proceeds go to cancer research. Yes-we are avid "cancer research supporters". Last year I didnt get to ride, I had to watch from the window of my car as Steve and my Dad transported me around too cheer my amazing cousins on. It was amazing! It was humbling to know that they were doing this race for me, and for my uncle (their Dad) who had just died 4 months earlier to Pancreatic Cancer. Team Preece rocked!
Today Team Preece rode again! AND they rocked again! It's tradition! AND-I joined them on the road today! I committed to ride 25 miles. I knew that I couldnt do more this year. It's been a hard recovery-BUT the important thing is I'm officially back on the road. I have rode alot this summer, but not up too where I was a year ago. My goal is too be back to 20 plus miles a day. Not only was that a big milestone for me, but my little Meggie rode the entire 25 miles with me. She was a rock star!
She is a determined little thing. She set a great pace and we had a blast together. She has now caught the biking bug too and wants to ride as many races as she can next year. Quite a few of the other bikers were amazed at her as she climbed the soldier hollow hill. They were cheering her on, and she loved every second of it. Both Steve and I were totally proud of her.
(In this photo is Troy, me, Kim and Megs)
Ride Hard or Go Home!
My goal was to ride 25 miles. My Dad was going to ride with me, but since he couldnt (because of surgery on Monday), Megs took his place. It was a great experience for both of us to do this together. She is exactly what I needed today.
Steve and I in an emotional embrace. My tears were from accomplishing a hard goal. I have really realized that "I can do hard things!" And Steves tears were tears of gratitude that I am still here! (plus he has lived the hard stuff with me!)
Troy designed our shirts again. Here is the front. Which was totally appropriate for our team. I loved it Troy! Thanks!
The back was cool too. Here is the upper half. The "S2B' means "Save 2nd Base". You can go to savesecondbase.com if you need more info on this. :)
And here is the lower back of the shirt.
I personally think that the whole thing was great! Cancer is cancer whether its breast, uterine, pancreatic, lymphoma. We need a cure! My plea is that everyone does their part to get involved with a cancer research charity today. I know that we all know someone with cancer or you have lost someone to cancer or both.
For me, "I am Stronger than Cancer"! Thanks Meg for the great ride! Thanks Steve-0 for the support, and for being a great pit crew! And thanks to all of my great friends who came to support and cheer us on today. AND thanks to all of my awesome cousins who rode for me and all of the other Cancer patients and survivors. I am blessed.

Happy Fete Day
So we hosted our first "Fete" Day. Last year, the Caziers invited us to experience our first Fete day, and this year we hosted our first.
What is Fete day you ask? Well, (this is how Maleen explains it)August is the only month without a holiday. I did not know that until last year. So, Fete means celebration or party (I dont know what language, but it sounds good). It can be any day in August.You pick a color to celebrate with,so this year the color was Yellow.
We invited the Ellis family, the Kierksik family, and the Lamb family to join the "Fete" festivities. All wore yellow (thanks John, I know it was hard for you). Everyone brought a gift for someone that was "yellow". The kids really love this part.
I had a jar full of yellow candy that was a guessing jar. We played games and had a barbeque. Mikayla and Meg made yellow smiley face cupcakes for a cupcake walk for the kids. It was cute. Phoenix had so much fun on the merry go round, that he barfed. We had a mini micro burst, but all in all,we loved our "Fete" day, and cant wait to do it again next year!
It was also Justins birthday so he got to celebrate his day with our Fete celebration.
