Our Thanksgiving

My Dad and younger brother, Justin, both from the Reno, NV area, joined us this year. They arrived late Monday night and left yesterday. We had a great time together! We played in the snow, saw a couple of movies, played games and ate, a lot:)

As you can see from the blog design and music, I am ready for Christmas! Yesterday I put away the Thanksgiving decorations and got out the Christmas stuff! With all the snow we have, I am in the Christmas spirit already! Our trees are up, most of the decorations are out and I am baking more! "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!"

Winter Wonderland

This is what we do on Sundays when church is over:) Last night, we got a foot of snow and the kids were dying to play in it! So after church, and some lunch, the kids got bundled up and headed outside. They pulled each other behind the 4-wheeler for awhile until the grass was showing and the neighbors called. That little red 4-wheeler is a loud thing! They played in the snow for awhile, then came in and had some hot chocolate! Oh, the joys of winter!!

Herriman Football

Tim's football season "officially" ended last night with a banquet. Tim, however, did not attend because he went on a scout camp-out. That's okay, because he really didn't miss much. There was a pot-luck dinner, then the coaches handed out team pictures and said something about each boy. Cory and I attended as Cory was the defense coach. Not the best season we have had, but still another season. There is always next year!Tim and Cory. Tim has been so lucky to have his Dad as a coach the past 3 0f 4 football seasons!

RHS Volleyball

Riverton High School Volleyball has "officially" ended:( Tonight was the banquet. We ate dinner, gave out awards and watched a high-light DVD! Oh, how I miss seeing the girls every day. I didn't realize what a huge impact coaching had on me! I love it, and can't wait til next year! Here's my team-what a bunch of cuties!!Thanks girls for the wonderful year! 11-4 - way to go!!

91st Birthday!

Sunday, we celebrated my grandma's 91st birthday! She is amazing for 91 years. Three times a week, she gets up early and exercises at her apartment complex. She attends bingo every Friday, goes out to lunch monthly, and walks the stairs to her second level apartment. She is really thriving since she moved to Utah in February. The kids love going to her apartment and cleaning it for her. Of course, she pays them very well. I love having her around too! When I was little we would all her "The Hawk" because when she babysat my cousins and I, she kept her eyes on us like a hawk keeps an eye on its food. She would not let us out of her sight. I find her doing the same thing with my kids to this day! Some things never change:)
Happy 91st Birthday "Great One!"
