LOVING MY FAMILY

We have loved having Cathy, Chad, Dresden and the twins here for the last week. We have done so many fun thing's. Here are a few highlights. We took the kids to Garner Village to see the Elf's and then the whole family came to our house for dinner and to make cookie's. I should say the girls and kids made cookies and the guys relaxed and watched football. We had a great time, Love you guys!! Sorry for the not so great pictures. I am still without camera and had to use my phone. Hopefully Santa will change that!!

Grandparent's Day

Last week was "Grandparent's Day" at the boy's school. My Mom and Dad were able to go and spend a few hours in the boy's class. Dawson and Mason are so lucky to have 2 amazing set's of Grandparent's.

Football Banquet

Good job Buddy, We couldn't be more proud of you!!Dawson was so excited about his trophy.It is the first trophy he has received that is more than just a "participation " award. This trophy you really had to earn. Only the 1st and 2nd place teams received trophies at all. After a great season, and a 2nd place title, we had Dawson's football banquet last night. It was great to all get together and celebrate an amazing season.

I have 6 Nieces and Nephew's, all who I adore by the way, but tonight I wanted to quickly post about my niece Breylan. I am probably thinking so much about her because the boy's slept over at her house last night,(thanks Con, they had a great time) and she is all they have talked about since. She is creative, beautiful, funny, and so fun to be around. She is a great big sister and an amazing help to her Mom. Thanks Brey for being such a good example to Dawson and Mason. I Love you!!

Another Big Win!!

Yeah!! the boy's won there playoff game today. Final score Silverwolves 20, Bingham 0. The Championship game will be next Saturday, I will post the time and place as soon as I have it. Is everyone sick of hearing about Football? Sadly, I'm starting to get sick of talking about it. We do have other thing's going on. The boys had a great time trick-or-treating last night. Dawson was a dead football player and Mason was a swap monster. I also wanted to post a quick message to my Mom to tell her how much I love her and how proud I am of her. My Mom finally had surgery on her neck this week. She did so great. She is seriously the best Mom and Grandma ever!! Love You Mom!!

MY SON, A GENIUS?

OK-so maby not a genius, but pretty stinkin' smart. Lately Mason has been into these ship building sets'( I honestly don't even know what there called) I seriously don't know how he figures these things out. I couldn't help him even if I wanted to and even crazier, he doesn't need the help he figures the things out by himself. So, here is the process....

OK-so they come all together like this

He pop's out all the little pieces, all hundred's of them it seems-

Then, he takes all the little pieces and makes these cool Pirate and Star Wars ship's.

Way to go Mason- you little smarty!!

A CUPCAKE CAN CURE ANYTHING!!

So, after a heartbreaking and I mean heartbreaking loss to Alta last weekend, ( final score, Alta 7- Silverwolves 6) to try to take Dawson's mind off of the game, we made Halloween spider cupcakes. They are way easy and super cute! Don't worry we will beat them next time. Championship's start this weekend. We will play Bingham this Saturday. I will update time and place info as soon as I get it.

Football Update!!

I am way behind on my football updates! What kind of football Mom am I? So, Dawson and his team are doing AMAZING. After six games they are still undefeated!! They are tied with Alta for 1st place in the league. Next week is the big game with Alta to see who will be in 1st place going into Championships. We could not be prouder of our awesome lineman. Mason is doing so good at flag football this year. He is a stud!! He is way exited to be playing Quarterback and Running back. His team is so cute and most important they are having tons of fun!! Good job Mas!!

Game #2

Dawson had another great game on Sat. The final score was Silverwolves 42, Jordan 7. Dawson is having so much fun. The boys on his team are so cute and they act like they have known each other for years, not just 4 weeks. I will post the address and time for his next game soon. Mason has also started football and will have his first game in a few weeks. Get ready for lot's of football post's!! It is totally are life these days!!

GO SILVERWOLVES!!

Dawson ( #51) had a great first game today. Final score 35 Silverwolves, 0 Olympus. Dawson did great and had some awesome tackle's. I have had a few requests for more info on future game's, so here is the field address for next Saturday's game. Saturday Sept. 6th Game time: 10:30 Midvale Middle School 7852 S Pioneer St. (405 West) Midvale

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY MASON!!

Last Friday was Mason 8Th Birthday!! I cannot believe he is that old!! I swear he was a baby like yesterday. Mason is such a great kid. He is witty, intelligent and always keeps us laughing. He is so lovable and can often be found cuddled up on his Daddy's lap. For Mason's Birthday this year we totally surprised him with a trip to Sea World. Mason had no idea where he was going and we even blind-folded him on the way to the airport. We had a great time at Sea World on Saturday and then spent the day in San Diego on Sunday. Happy Birthday Mas, we love you!!

Happy Anniversary

Today is mine and Eric's Anniversary!! 11 years. I cannot believe we have been married that long. That makes us kind of old, doesn't it? I think I can honestly say it has been the best 11 years of my life. I'm married to the most amazing man!! Thanks so much Babe for being the best Father, best Friend and Husband I could ever have hoped for. I love You!!

Lots going on.....No pictures to prove it!

Well first of all, when I say "No pictures to prove it! " that is because I lost my camera!!. AHHHH, I am so mad. I left it in a rental car on a trip to San Francisco over the Fourth of July. Luckily I had forgotten my SD card at home, so I didn't loose any pictures. We have had so much going on lately. The boys started school a few weeks ago. 4Th and 2ND grade, I can't believe it. As usual the boys are loving school and have great teachers!! We have also started a huge new adventure with Dawson playing tackle football. For those of you with no boys in football yet, this is SERIOUS stuff. Dawson has practice every night for two in a half hours. He is doing SO good, we are so proud of him. He is going to start on both the Defensive and Offensive lines. If you know Dawson, he is usually a very mellow, down to earth, easy going kid, but on a football field- Watch Out!! He is so serious and intense and boy, can he tackle!! I will hopefully post a few pictures (using my old crappy camera) soon. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Dallas

We also took the boys to Medieval Times while we were in Dallas. Dawson, Mason and Dresden's eyes were huge with amazement the entire time. Our Red Knight was the best!! It was a blast!!

While in Dallas we went to The Great Wolf Lodge. It is an amazing lodge with a huge indoor water park. We had a great time!! Thanks again Jill for hooking us up!!

The lodge also has this "Harry Potter" themed magic game. Using a wand, you search all threw the lodge and cast magic spells. You open chest's, light up magic crystal and fight Dragons. The boys LOVED, loved it.

Our room had a little log cabin in it for the boys to sleep. Too cute!

Eric has been crazy busy at work lately, so the boys, my Mom, and I decided to go see Cathy in Dallas. We had such a great time! But, most important we were able to spend some time with Cathy, Dresden and the twins! Thanks for a great week guys! We love and miss you!!

A Bittersweet Goodbye

So, After 6 year's of fun, we sold are cute trailer last weekend. We have had so many fun camping trips and I have great memories in our trailer. As some of you may know, while we were building the new house we ( and by we I mean Eric) had the great idea of living in our trailer beside my Grandpa's house. After what was suppose to be 6 and ended up 10 month's later, during a very cold month of November we finally moved into the new house. Well, we have been in the house over 3 years and I have never been back in the trailer! I get claustrophobic in there now, and with my great travel benefit's we decided it was time for a new family to have some fun!

A Little Rock 'n Roll

Dawson's best buddy Nic plays Bass Guitar in a band. We decided to check out one of the band's concert's today. Awesome Rockin' Nic.

Happy Birthday Dad!

This Monday was Eric Birthday. He decided to spend the weekend in good ol' San Francisco. We spent the day at Great America just outside of San Fran. Eric remembers his Grand-parents taking him there when he was a boy, so we thought it would be fun to do the same. We had a great weekend. Happy Birthday Honey, you are the best. We Love You.
