Boys Football 2011

It was like pulling teeth to get Connor to pose for this picture. I just love my two little football stars! They both are so fun to watch and I always look forward to each year when fall time rolls around and I can spend my weekends watching my boys play football!

Carson was a peewee this year and he played many positions. He played running back, corner, wide receiver, linebacker, and punter. Carson is more than obsessed with football, he even wakes up before school to watch the sports channel to catch up on who won from the night before. His coach had wonderful things to say about him like he played great defense, and he was a hard hitter. Great Job Carson!!

Connor was a midget this year and played mostly running back and some defensive end. Connor's team made it to playoffs but lost in the first round. His team did very well all season, Connor scored many touchdowns and extra points. He is so talented and can play every position if asked to! Connor's coach had great things to say about him, he said Connor is mostly quiet but one of the toughest kids he has ever coached. He also said Connor is a coaches dream! Connor had an amazing coach this year who expressed to all of us parents that he didn't coach to win but that he coached to help the boys turn into great men. I just love this, we need more coaches like coach Johnson! Great Job Connor!

Brynlee's Baptism Photos...

I love, love, love these beautiful pictures that my friend Lisa Bitter took of Brynlee. We had so much fun at the photo shoot and I'm so grateful to her for fitting us into her busy schedule. The wait was well worth it! My daughter is absolutely gorgeous! The last one is of Brynlee and her friend Kemry who were baptized on the same day! Love you Brynny Poo Poo!

Brynlee's Classic Party

The past few months have been so busy and it still isn't letting up. So my girlfriend Sarah and I were talking one day and decided yet again to combine our daughters birthday parties. With our schedules and their baptisms and such we did their party in the middle of October at Classic skating with a few of their close friends. It works out so great because they share the same friends and Sarah and I share the cost of the party and the girls just love the idea of having their parties together! These girls are just the cutest!


The birthday girls Brynlee and Kemry behind the amazing cake that Kemry's grandma and aunt made for their party!

Yummy cake!!

Thank you everyone for the fun gifts!

Connor was a big help, not sure how safe it was but he entertained Baylee for a bit by rollerblading her around the skating rink. We had such a great time at the party, Happy Birthday Brynlee and Kemry you two are the sweetest girls ever!!

Halloween 2011

I started my day by hanging out at Baylee's preschool and watching her trick and treating through the high school.

They made lava lamps for a science project!

Baylee goes to preschool with her friend that lives across the street, Katlyn they have a great time together!

Baylee was the cutest witch ever, but she did love telling everyone that she was a bad witch!

Love her cute face :)

Brynlee was a cowgirl this year and definitely rocked the cowgirl hat!

Here she is at the end of the night showing off her loot!

Carson was scream and loved to play the part, watch out!

I bet your scared!!!!

We had such a fun night this year, I made some yummy food and some of my family came out and spent the evening with us. Here are my cute niece and nephew sporting their Halloween costumes, how precious! The day was long and fun and the reason for no pictures of Connor was he had football practice from 4:30-7:00 and when he got home he said his coach said no trick or treating because they have a play off game tomorrow and he didn't want them out late. I was surprised he was actually ok with it and he does have a sweet sister Baylee who was willing to share with him!

I love my Job!

I had a cute little moment with Baylee yesterday. We were talking about my sister in law and how she was on her way to our house to pick up my nephew and Baylee wanted to know where she had been. I explained that she was leaving work. Baylee said moms work. I said yes some moms go to work. I could tell that she had never thought of this and it intrigued her. I then felt it necessary to tell her that I could go to work but her dad and I have agreed that I should stay home to take care of her and that we give up some things to do that but we sacrifice. I then told her that I do this because I love her so much and if I went to work then she would go to a babysitters and she wouldn't be able to go to preschool and tumbling in the day. After hearing this she got the biggest smile and ran across the room and jumped into my arms! IF I EVER NEEDED VALIDATION THAT WHAT I AM DOING IS RIGHT, I DON'T NEED IT ANY LONGER! I asked her if she was so happy and she said yes mommy and squeezed me so tight! I just love that she realized how lucky she is to have me stay home with her and give her all that she needs at this precious time in her life. Things have never been easy for us with having only one income, and of course I try to do little things to help bring in some money but I can say we have always gotten by and been very blessed as a family! I love my kids and I love my job of being their full time mommy!!

Brynlee's Baptism :)

Brynlee and her daddy! Warren was honored to baptize and confirm sweet Brynlee yesterday October 8, 2011. The day was crazy and perfect! Brynlee was just glowing!

This is a crappy picture but the only one I have of the three of us this day!

We had nine baptisms from our stake that day and three were from our ward. Brynlee was the last of the three from our ward to be baptized and it was just perfect because Connor had a football game that morning and rushed back to the church and walked in just as Bryn and Warren were stepping into the water. I feel like we were so blessed that day, I really wanted all of my children to be there for this special occasion. I love the smile on her face, so happy and excited for her daddy to baptize her!

How lucky are these two sweet girls growing up nine days apart and baptized on the same day just minutes apart! They were so excited to watch each other be baptized!

I am so proud of Brynlee and her choice to be baptized! I hope she always remembers this special day and all of the people that were there to support her. I can't believe that three of my children are now baptized and we now only have one to go! I am so grateful for this gospel and to be apart of this only true church on the earth. I hope my children will be strong and faithful and have Testimony's that grow stronger each day. We are so blessed as a family! Congratulations Brynlee, we love you mom and dad!

It's GREAT to be EIGHT!

Brynlee turned eight on September 28 and we finally celebrated it with family on Thursday. On her actual birthday Warren and I gave her her gift of an ipod speaker doc and a brand new set of scriptures with her name scribed on them. She loved them! She was so excited to also get some money for birthday because she is saving to buy a new bike! Brynlee is growing up so fast, we just adore her so much. She is so beautiful and loves fashion. Brynlee loves picking out outfits and accessories each day she gets ready. She has been doing her hair for awhile and does a pretty good job with it too. Brynlee is so smart and talented, she has lots of friends and enjoys taking dance each week! I love the times when Bryn takes her little sister under her wing and shows her how to do something or just plays with her. They can be so sweet together! Happy Birthday Brynny poo poo!
