Last Home Football Game

This is the last home football game for Clearfield. It is always fun to go to the football games to watch Lyndsie. It is also fun because a lot of our neighbors are there too. We have a fun time all sitting together trying to stay warm. The best part though is watching Lyndsie cheer. Sam has a great time because some of his friends are there like Jake Frie and Wyatt Christensen. Brinley has Delany and McKhall there to run around with too...so everyone but Sydnie loves to go to the football games! Lyndsie has had a fun time cheering at the football games because she gets to support #9...Darren and she gets to cheer beside Rhiannan. Go Falcons!

Simple Joy

Roxy brings Brinley and Myself so much joy. While watching T.V. one evening, Roxy was laying beside me and I looked down and noticed that a feather was stuck to her nose moving in and out as she breathed. She tried to get it off but could not. It was so fun watching her deal with this problem. We had a good laugh. If you look closely at the pictures below, you will see a tiny feather on the end of her nose! Roxy is such a good dog! After that we decided to have a little bit more fun with her...

The Most Anticipated Day...

"Crazy Hair Day" is probably the MOST anticipated day of the entire school year for my kids. In fact, they start talking about it like a year before. Planning how they could wear their hair and what color they will color it for the day.

Brinley woke up and immediately started getting ready! Sydnie was still home so she was able to put Brinley's hair in the desired style and I did Sam's hair. They looked pretty cool!

The Nicest Coach...

Today was Sam's last football game. All season long, Sam's team was unable to score at all. The team worked hard every week but could not make a touch down. The team we played against for our last game was Layton. The Layton coach must have seen the scores throughout the season and realized that this team had not scored. He decided to give us a touch down...telling our coaches to have our players run to the right and Layton would block left on the next play. I thought how nice is that, in fact it put a big lump in my throat. I was so impressed that a different coach would have the insight to know how good a touch down would feel to a team that had been working so hard. I was amazed with the kindness. Well Sam's team did make that touch down and the crowd went wild. And then shortly after, they were still playing with tons of excitement and they scored another one. It was so great to end the season with a couple of touch downs. Sam was excited and it made me smile to see how happy everyone of the players were. Even though we lost and didn't win a single game all season...these players were able to walk off the field with a smile...the Layton coach did a great thing! So nice! Thank you Layton!...score 27-14

Here are some pictures of today's game and other games throughout the season...

Birthday Dessert

More birthday fun...Kim, Angie, Lynette, and Jill took me for a birthday dessert late one night. Things are getting so hetic these days for all of us so now we have to sqeeze it in whenever we can. We went to the Pizza Factory and had a fun time. I love these guys...they make me happy!

Wow, what a birthday week I have had! I have a great family and great friends that have celebrated with me for a whole week and it has been a lot of fun. I am so lucky...Lucky to have a great husband that I love and 4 wonderful kids that make me laugh and make me so happy and wonderful friends that I couldn't live without. Turning 40 isn't so bad after all. Steve and Kim planned a surprise birthday party for me and they actually surprised me! Kim said that she planned it weeks ago and not of word of it leaked out. I couldn't believe that no one slipped! It was a fun night (I hate to be the center of attention, so the intitial surprise was a little awkward) but other than that, the night was fantastic.

Family and friends all came over and it was so fun to see everyone! I loved it. The week went on with fun things here and there with soccer games and football games and other things in between. It was a great week and a wonderful birthday. Thanks to Kim and Steve for their hard work in planning the surprise birthday party. Steve said that Kim did most of the work...so thanks Kim...sure do love ya!
