Football and Turkey

Me and my sis-n-law Mindy...isn't this turkey a beaut?!?!



Well, the football season is officially over now. Ky's team lost out in the semi-finals and Kole's team lost in the championship game. Not totally the way we wanted to go out, but hey, it was a good season all in all. Good job boys.

Thanksgiving was fun this year. We hosted the Stuart family and my mom and dad came too. I cooked the turkey, waking up at 4 in the morning to get it in the oven to make sure it was done by noon. Well, it was done at 9:30, just a few hours early. lol I didn't know my convection oven would cook the 25 pound bird that fast!

Now it's time to get ready for Christmas. I kinda feel like the scruge this year. Why? Don't know. I just can't get into it. Sad. Maybe it's because I vowed to be completely ready for Christmas by December 1st and well, I haven't even started yet. Hopefully once I get the decorations out I will change my attitude, and I will start getting into it. I hope so, otherwise my poor kiddos won't be having much of a Christmas season.

Good Luck Boys!!

Well, the boys' teams finished up the season with only one loss each. Kolter's team, the Eagles, came in first place. Congratulations Kolter and Coach Danny! I have to say that Danny was more excited about this than Kolter was. It was his first coaching experience ever, so it was great to come in first. He has some fast little runneres on his team and they have fun.

Ky's team is really good. They finished second and they'll be contenders for the championship if all goes well. Kyler finished the season with two touchdowns in each game (except only one the first game). He had a couple interceptions as well. Hopefully he will have great games these next two games too, so they can bring home the championship. Go Bears! Go Eagles!






Ky running for a touchdown. I love this picture cause the temple is in the background. We're so lucky to be so close to a temple.

That's What Friends Are For

A BIG thank you to my friends that helped me get my BIG pictures. I wouldn't have been able to figure it out without you :)

So this is my little Kenz who is now almost 8 months old. I'm happy to announce that just in the last little while she is getting better about not crying in her car seat and she has even taken a nap for longer than a half hour. Yay! She also
-is officially ready to be done with baby food and move on to the real stuff
-has no teeth
-doesn't crawl yet, but spins around in a circle while sitting on her bum
-loves nursing at least twice in the night (nope, she doesn't sleep through the night)
-loves her kitty, Rookie and the dog, Iron Man
-still has blue eyes and her hair is getting even more red :)
-rips off her headbands with bows and flowers on them (so much for all those cute accessories)
-has a contagious smile that melts your heart

A Chance at Fame

MTV Cribs is filming next door for an upcoming episode of Teen Cribs. I tried to let them park my pink jeep in the driveway so she could get a few seconds of fame. They denied her though. Dang it. Weird. Who wouldn't want to have a pink jeep, especially if you're a 13 year old boy? lol I mean, come on. Show She-J some love.
