Birthday Number One!

None of us can believe it but little Kaitlyn Rose has turned one year old! Below is Kaitlyn with Grandma on her real birthday.

Above is Kaitie riding her birthday gift. Her sisters finally let her have a turn. Below is Kaitie with her cake at her birthday party with family and friends. She looked like a little princess in her new birthday dress.

Grandma and Kaitlyn.

April had made cute cupcakes out of Styrofoam. Her decorations were so cute. She also made the cutest favor for people to take home but I didn't get a picture of them.

Brianna had fun with Grandpa reading her some of the books that Kaitlyn had received.

These two cuties love each other so much!

Above is Mom with Kaitie and below is a cousin, uncle, and aunt with her.

Opening presents.

Getting her very own cupcake. She enjoyed playing with it more than eating it.

Above is all the family that could make it to the party. We missed a few due to work, and another in law birthday party. We love you Kaitlyn and wish you a happy year.

Freezing, Mr. H Gets The Priesthood, A Fun Trip

I went to Warren's last game of the season last Sat. and it was so cold. I had a winter coat on and a blanket and I still froze! The wind just went through you. Look at brave little Warren below. Doesn't he look cold? He played awesome and made a couple of goals.
After Warren's game I went to Mr. M's ( pictured below) football game and I froze some more. He 's giving me a wave after the game, broken fingers and all. They killed the other team. It was a fun game to watch.

Just the week before we were sweating as we watched the games.

But last Sat. we were all bundled up like little Westi pictured below. What a difference a few days can make.

Last Sunday Mr. H received the Aaronic Priesthood. How special it was to see my 2nd grandson ordained to the priesthood. Congratulations H!

Alyse and her first companion from her mission took a long weekend and returned to visit their mission and say goodbye to some special companions who are returning home and say hello to members and investigators. They dropped Annie off in St. George on the way down and she got to spend the weekend with her best friend who is going to school there. Fun fun. Alyse and Kim then moved on to Las Vegas and had fun there before continuing on to Calif. Below are Alyse and Kim in Las Vegas.

Above is Alyse and her companion with one of their investigators who agreed to come to church since they were there.

On the drive home. They picked up Annie and made it home safely. Both girls were grateful for their little trips away from home.

Oct. Birthdays and Soccer

Sunday at our family dinner we celebrated two of our Oct. birthdays. My amazing, wonderful husband's who I am more grateful for than I can say and my oldest grandsons. We had a fun party. Below is grandpa with his grand kids. All the family.

Me with my birthday boys.

Kim and I.

Below is Mr. M. I can't believe he turns 14 this week. He is an amazing student and football player as well as a basketball player. I love watching him play his sports. Happy Birthday!

Below is Warren who is an awesome soccer player. At the game I attended last week he made two of the four goals that his team scored.

It's so fun to watch him play.

Below is Weston one of Warren's spectators. He is growing so big!

Grandma and Weston.

The other fans and spectators of Warren.

Eliza gives her cousin Warren a high five for winning the game.

I had to include the pictures below because my son is such an die hard U of U fan. You will notice the U flags on his car. While he was at priesthood meeting with my husband Sat. night Alyse and Annie thought they'd have some fun with him. They put BYU writings all over the windows of this car. He was a good sport about it all.

The video below was to catch my two youngest grand kids walking but it turned into a hugging fest instead. They are only two months a part in age although Weston is so much bigger than Kaitlyn most people are surprised they are so close in age. They are both so cute!
