Kennedy's soccer team


It's going to be a little tricky this year with soccer. I am Kennedy's coach, however both of my girls have games on the exact days and at the exact times. Poor Rylee is going to have to be supported by family and friends. I am going to be a horrible mom. There is only one game that is an hour before Kennedy's. I'll be cheering her on from a far.

Ski School

Today was the first day of ski school for Kennedy and Katie along with (Siena, Genna, Nate, Anna, McKallie and several other friends). It snowed the two days prior and we awoke this morning to sunshine. It couldn't have been better for their first day. Kennedy let me know that she's amazing at skiing. Her instructor told her to show the others how to do certain things. Her ego is pretty big right now. I'm glad they loved it. They have 4 more weeks of this and by then who knows how good they'll be.

Our family is growing!

We’ve added a new addition to our family. My cousin Katie moved in with us two weeks ago. She just turned 14 and is in 8th grade. It’s been a little adjustment on everybody but all in all things have seemed to be going really well. I’ve always loved Katie and wanted the very best for her. It’s a little harder being the one who has to keep tabs on her and make sure she’s in the right but she’s definitely worth it. She started heading down the wrong path sometime ago and has been in need of a change. I really hope she decides to hold onto the right and realizes it's the only way she will truly be happy.(Katie is holding her cute niece Katia)

Personally I think Kennedy and Natalie got the better end of the deal.

Easiest Thanksgiving yet

We spent Thanksgiving in Orem at Jerry and Leilani's house. (Steve's sister). I did absolutely no cooking. I felt a little guilty, however it sure was a treat. Leilani did a marvelous job. Everything was absolutely perfect. She's kind of like that. I was very thankful we had family to spend the holidays with.





We stayed the weekend at Little America in Salt Lake. On Friday night there was a gingerbread, Christmas event at the Grand America. It was spectacular. This was the first and it is said to be an annual event from now on. I'm glad we didn't miss it.

We were greeted in the lobby by the Jazz bear.




Check out these amazing gingerbread houses that were auctioned off.

It's FALL!

It officially feels like fall after the Pumpkin Fest. We love the Pumpkin Fest. The kids have so much fun. Here some pictures from Saturday. It was also Cedar City's Livestock and Heritage Festival. In the parade there were close to 1,000 sheep going down main street. The kids thought it was cool but it stunk. It was also SUU's homecoming. And yes I'm happy to say they won by a landslide.
