Trunk-or-Treat

Our ward had a trunk or trat last night and the kids had a ball!

 

My crazy Caveman!

 

My sweet Minnie Mouse!

 

My little Devil!

OH BOY!

I told the girl at the salon..."a LITTLE off the top and sides", and this is what I walked out with!

 

He is still my handsome little buddy, but I think next time I'll do it myself.

Here is the latest song that I'm loving right now, however the video is less than desirable. Have fun reading!

My Ballerina

Sierra is starting her first day at dance class. She has been counting the day's and annoying her mother just a little over it, but she looks perfect and will do a wonderful job!

 

Our first & last Cheyenne experience

Mom and I, with Sierra and Eli in tow, drove up to Cheyenne, Wyoming to see Cameron play two games. The trip took 7 hours one way and when we had to turn around and leave the next day for another 7 hour trip home, we were all pretty taxed physically and emotionally (Eli was less than pleasant).

 

The "Golden Eagles" ended up winning their game on Saturday 6-1, but ended up losing on Sunday 0-3. They played so well though! It was overcast and VERY windy, but it ended up being fun to bundle up in sweatshirts and blankets...of course, the kids had snotty noses, but what can you do.

 

Cameron looks great out there on the field, and his coach said at the end of the second game that Cameron played the best! Can't ask for anything more:)

 

Before we left, we musceled up enough courage to check out his dorm room and to our surprise was not as bad as we were anticipating. Cameron ended up making Cheyenne, WY out to be this place with NOTHING, but mom and I thought there was plenty...a mall, restaurants, movie theater, "The Wrangler" heehee, etc., besides, it's the capitol of Wyoming. It is however in the middle of no where. We love you Cameron and hope your experience at LCCC is turning out to be a good one. Don't forget to be the good excample!

Farwell to Indian Hills

Well, mom sold her house after it had been on the market for five months, and although we were anxious for her to sell and lower the amount of stress that comes with having a big home, I do say I was a little sad to see everything packed up and moved out. I was not raised in this home, because mom bought it during the summer of 1996, however most of my other siblings loved and appreciated this house for it's location and it's size. It not only fit a family with six kids, but was in close proximity to the high school and friends. I think I can speak for most of us kids when I say that although we were frustrated at times with all the "fix it" projects that were always going on, we will always appreciate the home and all the great memories that were created there.

 

The Front: Raking tons of leaves, playing in the snow, Easter egg hunts, basketball games/Around The World and just vegging on the lawn will be VERY missed.

 

Living Room: Playing the piano, Christmas tree & stockings, friends and family get togethers and where all the baby showers were held :)

 

Ahh the Kitchen: Although mom had a 20 year old fridge and a gas stove that gave off gas fumes, this is where we always migrated.....where the food is of course. All the family Sunday dinner's, heated conversations between siblings and their spouses, card games and listening to music while making cookies/banana bread. Good times!

 

Family Room: "Ode to the blue couches". You may notice that the couches are green, however not long ago we had the blue couches that were as old as Megan and at the end of their life the cushions were very smashed and mom had taken a needle and thread to them more than once. As uncomfortable as they got, they will be missed. LOTS of movies, birthday's, sewing, wrestling matches, grandkid's playing, and who hasn't taken a date down to the basement and made out! There isn't a picture of the computer room, however plenty happened there too! Bills, T.V. and good, but crazy conversations. 3206 Apache Lane will be missed, but I am thrilled about mom's new home and all the GREAT memories we will make there!
