Halloween Night...

Halloween night was Spook-tacular! We had the Rices come over for some hot soup and bread sticks and then all of the neighborhood goblins met up and went out in the wet and cold to go trick 'r' treating. After awhile, we went over to the Crosby's house to finish passing out our candy from over there and to visit with them...they had a nice spooky set up and Adam was dressed up so scary to trick everyone. It was so Halloweenish! Virgina was there also and it was so fun to see her, she was dressed up as Michael Jackson (so funny). I always enjoy seeing her. She will come visit me and it makes my day.

Legacy Volleyball 2010

Starting Junior High was a big deal for Brinley because the very first day of school was also volleyball tryouts...I know...stressful! And then the second day was again tryouts and then it wasn't until the third day did they find out who made the team. Brinley made it and we were very excited for her. She has never even played volleyball, we had to laugh at the fact that she would have to learn the rules of the game. Well she had a awesome time playing, in fact, she even got to play a little in the varsity games. She did so good, she works hard and it pays off! During the season, she was at a Saturday soccer game and she felt instant pain in the back of her foot and she started to cry (which is very abnormal for her). A few days later I took her to a foot doctor and she had partially ruptured her Achilles tendon. Darn, that put her out for the rest of the volleyball and soccer season. She was so bummed! But she did get to dress for the last championship game, where Legacy came in second place!

Carrigan, Mia, and Brinley (all from the soccer team) made the volleyball team and they all purposely chose consecutive numbers! Funny Girls. The real funny thing is that I didn't notice it until the very last game and then took a picture of it! Ha ha!

Kim is finally turning 40! Finally! My Gosh! Tonia threw her a masquerade surprise party. It was a nice evening where everyone sat down to a yummy dinner and some reminiscing about how wonderful Kim is!

Happy Birthday Kim...you're the best friend ever!

End of Year Football Party

I have really listened to the song by Kenny Chesney "The Boys of Fall" since Sam has played football and I love the song. It really holds true to the game and the fact that football is a game that teaches lifelong lessons. Not once did Sam complain to go to that 2 hour practice and not once did he complain of how hard the practice was. He worked so hard day after day and loved it. He would pull his helmet off each day and be soaking wet with a smile on his face. His coaches were awesome and they all taught him to love the game. Sam had a great time playing football. Their team won all their games but one. Sam made a lot of touch downs but his favorite thing to do was to tackle. He was unstoppable!

Best picture of all...quarter back 10 yard sack!!!

A girls night out + Sam

It is Conference weekend and all the men are at the Priesthood session and Sam is still too young so we are having a girls night out plus Sam. We decided to go out to dinner to Red Robin and then do a little bit of shopping. And aren't these two just fun?...

Sam, Stacy and I didn't quite know what to do...they were loud and embarassing!

Birthday present sent by mail...

Beautiful strawberries arrived at my door this afternoon from my best friend Mindy! Aren't they delicious looking? I had to gaurd them with my life because everyone came out of the woodwork when they heard about the chocolate covered strawberries that were delivered. I didn't want them to be eaten right away...I thought they were just too beautiful!

Ahhh Mindy, you're just too good to me. I love them!

We were at a football game when I looked over and saw the biggest snow cone ever and I said..."Does anyone really like a snow cones that much?" Kim and I laughed so hard. It was huge and mounding over the top. By the time I had gotten my camera out and was able to get a good shot they had eaten a good portion of it. It was hilarious!
