Thanksgiving

I hope that everyone had an wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent it with the Castro family. Everyone was there including Tyler, he will be the newest addition to this family in July. The girls now have a cousin Tyler and an uncle Tyler. We are truly blessed and thankful for our many blessings and amazing families.
RaeLyn, Julie, and I did a little black Friday shopping. We started at 5:00 not midnight like some of the crazies. We had fun and then came home with two sick girls. I am home today and both of them are on antibiotics now. We have to get the birthday girl healthy before her party.

Fun Weekend

Friday night was the school carnival at Wallace. After setting up all afternoon, Bailey and I spent the evening enjoying the games and activities. Saturday the girls and I drove down to Jen's house. My parents were there and Jodi came with her kids as well. It was fun to see the cousins. Here is Maddie giving Lucas some lovin. He is getting SO big.

On the way home we had a great surprise. I stopped to see Ray and Roberta, just to say hello and everyone was there. I even got to see Bec. What a wonderful unexpected surprise. Love that Nielson/Weaver family.

Lazy Weekend

This past weekend was a three day weekend with absolutely no plans. This was a first for us in many months. Jason painted the girls toes red and white on Veteran's Day. We finished off Veteran's day with a trip to Sweet Spot for some yummy yogurt. Saturday during nap Bailey and I worked on her birthday invitations.
Then the family took a walk in the rain and jumped some puddles. Winter is officially here, with a prediction of snow mixed in on Saturday.

Jason had been looking forward to barbecuing, so we sent him outside in the dark cold weather to cook us up some shrimp and steak. YUMMY!

Today was Maddie's field trip to Papa Pete's with her preschool. I am so lucky that I get to work part time and be here for these fun outings.

It is nice to hang out as a family and just be.

Soccer Season

The soccer season came to an end this past Sunday. All of the girls were very sweet and Bailey enjoyed herself. Here are the girls at our team party holding their trophies.

(Zoey, Bailey, Mackennah, Emily, Lily, and Caroline) As far as myself coaching again, I don't see it happening. I learned a lot. I didn't even know what a corner kick or a goal kick was before this season started. I am going to hopefully let someone who knows a thing or two about soccer coach Bailey in the future.

Trick or Treat

The girls had a GREAT Halloween. Maddie and I volunteered at Bailey's Halloween party at school. They had all 75 kindergarteners in 2 rooms and they actually were all really good.Then we got ready to Trick-Or-Treat My beautiful girls

Maddie literally RAN to each house. She was having so much fun, she couldn't stop smiling. It was hard for Bailey to keep up.

After getting too cold we came home and Bailey handed out candy and we ate a little of our own. Overall a great Halloween with two BEAUTIFUL girls.
