I was Valerie's Young Women leader and she has watched my kids forever. Her and her family are like family to us and we love them. I have also know Justin since he was a baby and we are good friends with his family as well. Justin's mom was my young women leader growing up. They are so cute and we are so happy for them. We do miss having them close by and seeing them though. They Got married November 22nd and it was such a neat day. My kids were part of the wedding party and they looked so cute and had  a great time. We love Val and Justin!! Congrats!

We love sports

We have gone to a lot of sporting events lately. Bryan bought season tickets to the BYU basketball games and Parker is his little buddy that gets to go with. Their tickets are on the 10th row and it makes for an exciting time. Parker and Bryan get on the jumbo tron almost every time.  The girls and I also got to attend one. It was a lot of fun. The girls loved watching the cheerleaders and even got to have a picture with them.  Bryan also took Parker to the coldest BYU football game. They didn't last long, but had a fun time. We love BYU games.
Bryan and I also got to attend a few Jazz game. His company has awesome tickets in the lower bowl and we get a dinner before hand as well. We always have a good time and I love to spend time with my hubby. We are a sports family and we love to watch them, so going to sporting events is something we all love!

Halloween 2013

We had such a great Halloween this year!. Parker was Jack Sparrow, Maelie was little bo peep and Jentry was her sheep. They looked so cute! Bryan and the kids drilled and painted pumpkins this year! It was so fun and so much easier than carving! They turned out really cute! Halloween day started with a Halloween parade at school. It was so fun to see all the kids and teachers and the office staff in there costumes. What a fun group of teachers we had they all dressed up!! Then it was on to the class parties. Me and one other lady were in charge of Maelie's class and we had to do both morning and afternoon kindergarten, it was a lot of kids, but they had a good time and I had a lot of help. After her class I ran to help in Parkers. It was a lot less hectic with half the kids! The kids had a blast! It was a short day so it was nice to get them out early and head to see Grandma Jeri at her school and then on to Grandma Joyce's, we then head to dads work to trick or treat! I think with all the candy we get at his work we could be done, but it isn't Halloween without trick or treating with the cousins. We then headed to Janan's to eat, have scones and then on the trick or treating. Since it was such a nice night we were out for a long time! So much fun! The only not so fun thing is me, Bryan and my mom had to still clean the building. Boy was it a mess, but it was nice to have some help! I love halloween because I love candy. But most of all I love to see my kids all dressed up in such cute costumes!!!
