There's a First for Everything

I have never taken the time to actually complete a Blog "TAG." I have always had a hard enough time to get my day or activity posted. I decided that this was kind of a fun tag and that it would be quick and easy. Here is my 4th picture in my 4th folder . . .
This is Tay and Ty at Krispy Kreme with some of their best buds from Meridian. We took the kids on a field trip for preschool back in Janurary 2006. My How TIME Flys! Now I tag any of you readers that have not already done this TAG ... it is kind of fun to see what photo you pull up.

That's Another Cougar .... First Down

On Saturday, we headed down to Provo to the BYU verses UNLV football game with Heath's family. We arrived just a little early so that we could do a little tailgating. The kids played a couple of games and won tee shirts and footballs.



The game was great! The kids had a good time cheering and of course they loved the treats and Kyler slept the whole first half. It was such a beautiful day (you'll notice the red toasty cheeks) to be at a BYU game. In fact, we over dressed for cool weather (since last year it snowed at the game we attended) and had to take off our long sleeve shirts that were under our teeshirts. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma Holverson for taking us to the game. (None of my pictures are very good ... I took my small camera to the game and it stinks. I should have packed my better camera and a few less blankets. HEE HEE!)






Note To the Cooper Family ... It was so fun to see you at the game. Thanks for getting my attention and saying Hi. We hope you had a good time.

We're Back

We were lucky enough to hop a flight last week to Oregon to visit these cute girls (and Dave) for Mak's 3rd Birthday! Thanks for letting us party and crash your house!!! We had a blast with Grandma Sandy, The Hatch Family, and The Browning Family. We missed Heath, Grandpa, Chad, and Jess. While we were there .... we spent the whole afternoon at the Roloff Farm. We love TLC's "Little People Big World" TV series so we made sure to visit. When we arrived, we were lucky enough to meet Amy (Little People Mom)and get our pictures taken. We spent hours picking pumpkins, taking photo's, seeing the TV crew, taking the wagon tour (where Matt (Little People Dad) "ran" into us and we were able to meet Grandma and Grandpa Roloff), and feeding the Roloff family dog. (the dog came and ate up all the food - hot dogs - the kids spilled all over the floor). We loved the farm and dressing up in our Halloween costumes. The kids were so excited that had met "television stars." (a Tydon quote)

We spent an afternoon trying to get some group shots of the Grand kids in their new Christmas Outfits.

We visited the Oregon Zoo.



We ate at "Out There Pizza" a couple of times. The kids had a blast running around being crazy.
We also enjoyed a great Halloween Party with Grandma. (I somehow missed adding a photo of this great party.) Thanks everyone for a great trip. We appreciate all you do!! Love you All!

My Life is A Project

It seems like my life filled with project after project. These last few weeks have been especially "projectey." Before .... AFTER: I have not sewed a complete outfit since sewing class when I was like 13. I am so proud. I actually did it! I only had to unpick Taylee's vest (the red one) 7 times! (IT TOOK LIKE 6 HOURS) After all those mistakes, I was on a role. I completed the skirt and the 2nd vest (Tydon's) in like 2 hours. I had a really good time, but told Heath to remind me the extra money I would have spent to buy the costume I wanted, probably would have been worth the time I spent.
My great friend and fellow Enrichment buddy, Somer, and I are in charge of our October Enrichment. We are planning a "Witches Night Out." These are our cute invitations. She and I are both over the top kind of planners, so we should have a great evening. Before:
After: Our invitations turned out so cute!!!
These are so TUTU cute and fun and easy to make.

Happy Projecting for the weeks to come ... Christmas is right around the corner.

Last Week In A Nutshell

It was Red Ribbon week at school. Each day was dress-up day. We started the week with Crazy Hat Day! Kamdon loves to take late naps and then stay up all hours of the night. He crashed on the kitchen floor while I was checking out your blogs.
Tydon had his last soccer game! They actually won. Tydon played so great!
Kyler sported his first "faux-hawk"! Look Closely ... Its there, I promise.
Saturday was a stay at home day and get things done around the house kind of day. We planned our Sharing Time for Primary, Heath tackled mountains and mountains of laundry, I started sewing, and of course we watched football - - all day long. So we had our favorite busy day or game day dinner. Nacho's! The kids love to eat it on the floor in front of the TV.

What a busy week!

Take A Vote ...

Ever Since Heath Shaved His "Facial Hair," he has wondered what every one's preference is. So he asked me to take a poll on my blog. His co-workers all had and still have mixed reactions. WHAT DO YOU THINK?? FACIAL HAIR OR ..... NOT??

He asked for it, so give us your honest opinion!!

Just Call Me Betty

There is something about the Fall Weather and Conference Weekend that makes me want to bake. Today I went a little crazy and cooked up a storm. It was delicious ... just call me Betty! Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup and Homemade Rolls

My 1st Apple Pie - thanks for the inspiration Justin and Ashley


Conference Weekend

Conference Weekend is always a great time. Heath's parent's and uncle came to stay and they attended a session yesterday while we went to a soccer game in the rain and cold weather - Heath was filling in as coach again. This morning while we were watching conference, Kamdon grabbed his golf club and stood up and started leading the music with is hand and the club when the choir was singing. It was so hilarious!! He is the cutest kid. Tydon and Taylee enjoyed their conference packets and actually did a really great job listening!!

Heath left for work at 9 this morning and is still not home (it's 10 p.m.). I don't expect him for a few more hours. What a crazy day for him and me. I feel like I did not get to listen very well since he wasn't here helping with the kids. Thank goodness the talks will come out in the Ensign and on the Internet. I will definitely be doing a some reading!! I did enjoy President Monson's talk on enjoying our TODAY'S!!
I hope you all enjoyed your day and your Conference Weekend!
