Carlee's Blessing

 November 7th was such a wonderful day. Blessing day is always stressful, but I guess by the fourth one I kind of have the hang of it! Gavin did an amazing job giving Carlee her name and a blessing. He blessed her with health and wisdom, along with the strength to choose the right. It was such a powerful blessing, words can't even express how grateful I am that Carlee received it. 

 

And what is Blessing without a luncheon??  There was lots of yummy food to share with family and friends. Roast, Cheesy potatoes, lots of salads and great desserts. The typical LDS dinner... thinking about it right now makes me hungry! Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special. I find great strength from the support my family has received.  This day will be treasured forever.

Warrior Pride!

The Warrior Football Season has come to an end. They played stellar football all season long. It amazes me how much they learned in those few short months. These boys made it to the Championship Game held at Hansen Stadium. Although they came up just short of bringing home the trophy, I consider them all Champions. Good job on a great season boys!

Here are a few pictures taken along the way...

Bears Flag Football

The Bears had a bit of a rough season. They didn't pull of the W much, but ended up winning one when it counted! With a record of 1 - 8 (or so) they made it to the playoffs, and won their first playoff game. The championship game wasn't as glamorous and they got beat dang it! It is ok though, because it was a fun season! Good Job Bears!

Halloween!

We had a fun filled Halloween week! Addie was invited to a Halloween party at Kate's. She was so excited to finally get to wear her costume. She had been dying to put it on ever since it arrived at our door. She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, so Minnie made the perfect costume.  The boys were in the school parade, and had fun parties in their classes.

Saturday was a big day. There were tackle football games and flag football games along with two baseball games! It was a beautiful busy day! While Landon was playing in his last baseball game (The Fall Extravaganza Championship) I took Addie, Preston and Carlee home to get ready to trick or treat.

Then we headed back to the ball fields just in time to watch Landon pitch awesome! They ended up losing the game, but it was a good experience for him. It was kind of different to play with another team and not have his dad in the dugout. I think it might have made him appreciate his dad and his Sliderzz team a little bit more!

 Then it was finally time to trick or treat!! I was feeling a little bit bad that they were only going to be out for about an hour, but they got plenty of loot in that much time.  Best of all, their candy was gone by Sunday night.. and that made Halloween even Happier (at least for the mom anyway!) :)

Pumpkin Carve

The Annual Pumpkin Carve at Grandpa Dennis' was a success! The kids even helped cleaned out their own pumpkins. Halloween just wouldn't be the same if we didn't stick our hands in pumpkins and pull out the slimy seeds! ;)

Witches Night Out

Who knew that dressing up like a witch could be so much fun?! I was so excited when Gretchen decided to have a Witches Night Out for Bunko in October. It was so nice to get out of the house and see friends. I have the hardest time staying home with a newborn. It is great for about the first two weeks and then it seems like the walls are caving in on me! This night was perfect. I got to dress up (thanks mom for your help) get out for a bit, have fun, and eat lots of yummy food! My kids thought I looked pretty funny when I was leaving the house. Addie loved my eyelashes and Preston thought my stripped tights were dang funny! I decided it was good for my kids to see that even mom's have fun dressing up once in awhile! 

Thanks Gretch for a spooktacular night!

One Month

My baby is growing right before my eyes. Sometimes I think will she ever see me and smile, then the next minute I think oh my heck, she is a month old! She has her fussy time in the evenings from about 8:00 pm - 11:30ish, but other than that she is a great baby. She eats great, poops great and snuggles really great! I don't know what we would do with out this little bundle of joy. She is so sweet.
