my sweet b

i love this sweet girl so very much.
she is the mother hen and has a very
sweet spirit.
she is tender hearted.
she is a big helper.
her little giggle brings a smile to my face.
she is becoming such a young lady.
she is a smartie pants and loves school.
she is very determined and very independent.
those big blue eyes melt my heart.
we may butt heads at times but she
keeps me on my toes and makes my
heart extremely happy!

This past weekend was pretty busy but I'm not sure we'd know what to do with ourselves if we weren't busy! Friday afternoon the kids and I headed to my parents for a sleepover - my cousin Sharley and her family stayed the night on their way to Disneyland. So the kids were able to play and they had a blast with each other. We ate pizza for dinner and had a nice time visiting!
Saturday I played in a softball tourney in St. George and it was freezing cold all day, the wind wouldn't stop blowing. But we won so I guess it was worth it!!!  Then we headed home for Nick's 7th grade playoff game which they won. So they are headed to the championship game next Saturday and if they win, it will be 5 straight titles!
After the game we rushed home because my friend from college was coming to stay until Monday morning. We were able to go to dinner that night and get all caught up on each others lives and then headed home. Sunday we watched football and was lazy for pretty much the entire day but it was good. Davina met the kids for the first time and she was probably ready to get out of here! They were pretty funny - days before I told them she was coming to stay so everyday they would ask if my friend was coming today!
Thanks for driving a bit out of your way to come stay with us Davina! It was almost like the good ole days with the exception of having 2 kids, being old and not being able to stay up til the wee hours of the morning!

silly boy

i love this boy
so stinkin much!
he drives me crazy,
he makes me happy,
he can make me laugh,
he loves to learn and is super smart,
he loves to tease anyone he can,
he's my little sidekick while B is at school
and he knows how to melt my heart!

flag football

This post should've been done long ago but I've been putting it off.... The kids had a blast this year playing football. Nick coached each of their teams and I think his patience got tried with Mason's little team but it's good for him! The both did a great job pulling flags, running, making touchdowns and socializing with friends :) I really enjoy watching them play and get excited to see how proud they are when they pulled a flag or made a touchdown!

happy halloween

Both kiddos had Halloween parties at school today.
Mason couldn't wear his mask so we painted his face..
I'm not an expert on drawing a transformer sign (obviously)!
Brooklin had a parade at school and she just had to wear
her new high heels - which she hasn't taken off since Sat.
We hit our trunk or treat and then went to a few houses,
the kids got plenty of candy!

weekend festivites

We had a long weekend since Brooklin was out of school Thursday and Friday.. So the kids and I headed north with my parents and we ended up in Tremonton! We had a party every night :) We made pizzas, decorated cookies, had halloween games, celebrated Addi's 2nd birthday, the girls snuck away to shop in Logan, the guys went hunting - it was a busy weekend!
