6th In State, Warren's Party

Yesterday at our family dinner we were finally able to celebrate Warren's birthday with the family. Everyone was there except Alyse who was confined to her bedroom with a likely case of swine flu. She is almost all better but we didn't want to take the chance of her getting someone else sick. Below is our little cutie with his birthday cake. He loved having happy birthday sung to him and blowing out the candles. We had to relight and do it two times for him because it is so fun to watch him. Opening presents. He knows what to do!

Happy Birthday Warren we all love you!

Congrats to Annie's volleyball team who played in the state tournament this past weekend! They took 6th place in the state! They only lost one game and it was to Lehi, but it was the first game. By losing it the best they could place was 6th and they did it by winning all the rest of the games. It was a great season girls! Below is Annie watching a game played by the competition.

Annie's missed two games due to her injury, but was able to play in the last 4 games. below is a picture of Annie with her sister and niece and nephew who were able to support her at the Senior night game.

The spectators that were there to cheer Annie on. Annie had a lot of support from family for her last few games, thanks everyone for coming.

Halloween Week

Halloween week was a busy fun week. Two of my sisters had birthdays this past week and we enjoyed a fun birthday lunch together in spite of the snow we got. Neither of my sisters could ever remember it ever snowing on their birthdays before and they are older than I am. I had to include the picture below because these three girls stopped by my house to show me their new haircuts. This was Brianna's first hair cut and she was good for it. Yay! Everyone's hair looks great! On Friday cute little Warren turned two years old. His parents brought him over so we could see him on his birthday. I was watching my three oldest grandkids that day and Kim, Alyse, and Annie were all home so we had to have a little cup cake birthday party with him. We will celebrate his birthday later with all the family.

Me and my little buddy.

Blowing out the candles! He loved blowing them out so much that they were relighted about 7 times so we could sing to him again and he could blow them out. It was very cute.

Last Thursday my 3 oldest grandkids had their school Halloween parade. It was fun to go see them in their costumes. Below we have Elvis.

Here's the Grim Reaper. Look at those fingernails.

Here's cute Dorthy and Todo.

The spectators.

Thursday night Kappa had a Halloween mystery dinner. The theme was the 20's. Here is Alyse in her costume.

Halloween night was the Monster Mash at Annie's school. Her group dressed as people in the 80's. She had a fun time.

My grandkids came Trick or Treating on Halloween. What a cute little dalmatian puppy!

Here's my cute little skeleton.

This little frog and puppy were so cute together!

The frog and the cowboy? No maybe its just grandpa working in the yard.

Cutest frog ever.

Elvis!

Scary Grim Reaper.

Cute Dorthy!

Halloween was so much fun! All my grand kids came to visit. We attended our neighbors annual Halloween barbecue, and all the snow had melted! Alyse had friends over to watch Halloween movies and Annie had a fun time at her dance. It was a really great day!

I had to share this video from Warrens little party. Every time we sang Happy Birthday and got to the part where we said happy birthday dear Warren he would raise his hand and touch his chest and say that's me! It was so cute!

First Snow /Special Day

It's official we have the first snow fall in the valley today and it's still coming down. We get more tomorrow! We have had such a beautiful fall I just wasn't ready for winter yet. Here's to hoping Halloween won't be freezing! Last Sunday was a very special day for my favorite 12 year old. He received the Aaronic Priesthood from his father. It was a very sweet tender experience and I was so grateful to be there and share in it. Of course we had to take lots of pictures as you can see. He looks so grown up in his new suit.

Happy B Day Kim/ Worst Weekend/ Team Dinner

Last Saturday was Kim's birthday. To celebrate it we spent the day at Annie's JV tournament. They were playing the other 6 schools in our region. They won the first 4 teams. While playing the 5th team Annie rolled her ankle and went down hard. She spent the rest of that match and the 6th one with her leg elevated and ice on her ankle watching her team get beat. I don't know which hurt her more, her ankle or not being able to play. No one cheered harder for her team than Annie did. When the tournament ended we helped Annie to the car and headed home for Kim's birthday party. All the family came over and we really had a nice evening together. Sunday morning when Annie woke up she was running a fever and felt like she was getting a cold. She got worse and we finally decided she either had the seasonal flu or swine flu again for the 2nd time.(she had it in July) She said it had been the worst weekend of her life. Poor Annie.

Everybody

I was in charge of the volleyball team dinner today before the game. It went really well other than the fact that Annie wasn't there and she wanted to be. (Still sick and if she wasn't sick still can't play with her injury) All the girls asked how she was and sent their love to her.

Our grand kids always make our get togethers so fun. This is a video of Brianna at Kim's birthday party. She is getting the nick name of Scooter. Hey why crawl when you can scoot?

This video is of Grandpa playing with some of the grand kids. It was a fun party!
