fun at the park...

While I was shopping and the guys went golfing on Friday - grandma too the kids to the park!!!

black fridays totally stunk this year....

I'm all about black friday.. 

I save all year, plan for weeks in advance,

recruit my helpers, and get a high

on the craziness!!!

Well this year really sucked - 

I hated that they opened on Thurs night

so I did not stand in any lines this year.

Kirst and I headed to Vegas about 11pm

and we hit Target which was like shopping

on a normal day... Kohl's was the same way,

record time checking out of there!!!

Then we headed back to Becky's around

4am for a nap and headed back out at 10am.

We shopped all day long... We got all our

goods and headed back to St. George!!!

breaking and entering...

sharkee was on a roll today!!!

thanksgiving...

Wednesday after work, I met Kirstin

at Cedar Pockets to get Addi and Jacks

for a sleepover! We surprised B and Mason

when 2 little visitors were with me after school!

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents this year.

It was so nice and we even had a house full,
Becky, Jim, McKaylee, and Tony came
up from Vegas, Todd and Julie came
down to join us - it was a family affair!!!
The food was wonderful and my mom
totally out did herself as usual :)

my yummy pies :)

this still cracks me up....

exciting news...

Brooklin got some exciting news Monday (11/19)

morning.. I received an email with the results

of the punt, pass and kick! She won her

age division and is going to San Francisco

Dec 9th to compete and attend the 

49er's vs. Dolphins game.

We waited to tell her until that night

when Nick got home from work.

She was so excited and wanted 

to call all the family to tell them!

(her 1st call was actually to Jeremy Woods

since he loves the Dolphins)!

We weren't planning on all going but

we are now making it a family vacation...

It will be part of our Christmas this year!

We are so excited for you B and we

hope you do a great job!!!

so excited!!!

who's more excited - dad or brooklin???

Primary Program

Today was our primary program

and the kids did great!

Mason memorized his part,

"I will be like Jesus by being a missionary,

teaching others about the church and 

how we should live."

Brooklin had a longer part but

she read it perfectly!

“Honor thy father and mother that thy 

days may be long upon the land which 

the Lord thy God giveth thee.”

Some ways I can honor my father and mother are:

I can help my mom clean, I can help my dad mow the lawn,

 I can listen to my parents the first time, I can follow the rules, 

I can do chores without being asked, I can do what is right, 

and I can tell them that I love them!

punt, pass & kick

Today Brooklin competed in 

St. George at the Sectionals.

She did AWESOME!!

Now we just wait until next week

when the others compete to see if

she makes it to the next round...

which is in San Francisco at

a 49er's game!!

punt..

pass...

kick...

cold, like wind blowing,

bone chilling cold! 

It was still fun and we got

all colored up!!!
