Riley's Christmas Program

Tonight was the 3rd grade Christmas around the world program.

Here's Riley's part...

Emma's Birthday Party

This Morning we had Emma's Party. Since I have been in the mood to be crafty we made a craft at the party. All the kids under 9 and Lisa made visors. Then we made either princess license or book markers for the boys. Emma opened a ton of presents. She loved everyone especially her boots. Then we ate the cake Devon made that looks like a crown. (thanks Robyn for the idea.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Football Party

Ethan had his final game of the season. They did have a perfect record for the inaugural season. Too bad it was 0 & 11. Ethan really enjoyed playing football and looks forward to playing next year. Hopefully Grandma will let him after here about all the injuries to other team members. Here's to next year........

Halloween

If you know Bryan you know Halloween is his favorite day of the year. It's also fast becoming one of Ethan's. He loves to scare as many people as possible. Here's some pictures of our yard and Ethan tied to the stake.

Ethan's First Band Concert

Thursday October 30th was Ethan's first band concert. We got to listen to Hot Cross Buns and Mary had a Little Lamb in every instrument. Ethan is 1 of 4 tuba players. Too bad we sat on the left side when Ethan was on the right.

The Cast is OFF

Today was the day off came the cast. YEAH!!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Every year we go to the pumpkin patch to take pictures. Here are some pictures of all the FUN we have. This year Bryan took Stitch and people were taking more pictures of him then their own kids....

My Streak is broken

Sunday night after spending 2 1/2 hours at a cub scout meeting at church I decided to have a "parking issue". Coming home from mom's house I was drive down 13. When while talking to Bryan he heard me say "Oh Crap" then the phone cut off. I apparently hit the lip of the road where they are doing construction and over corrected. We fished tailed for awhile before landing in the ditch across the road. THANK GOODNESS there were no cars driving North on 13 and they just dug the ditch. The police officer said since there was no damage to my car or any property there was no wreck. I just had a problem parking my car. I have on star and they were great help. So wanted to stay on the line with me until somebody got there. I had to tell that Riley and Emma couldn't hear their movie so since nobody was hurt I needed to make them happy while we waited. Here are some picture. They are very dark but the hood of my car is buried in the ditch and we actually straddled the ditch so it was a jump to get out.

The last time I had caused a wreck was in high school 15 years ago.....

My FIRST Ward Event

Last night was my first ward event. It was not fun getting to the Halloween Carnival but we made it. I had alot of help from many people but Erin did alot. The great thing about the social was we ran out of tables. What a great thing to happen. The count was about 165- 170 people. We have a chili dinner and then a carnival for the kids. After the carnival we had about 16 rooms around the church decorated for the kids to trick or treat. Bryan and Ethan both had there own rooms. Ethan is trying to really enjoy Halloween and wants to out do his father. Here are some pictures Sorry no pictures of the rooms....

Follow the Prophet

I really enjoyed the Prophet's talk about Change. Anybody who knows me knows I enjoy doing things with my kids and that I'm a planner. Time goes by so fast I want to spend time with them while they want to spend time with me. SO this weekend my goal was to get the house clean and move the piano out. That didn't happen! Of course I wasn't happy about it and I wasn't in a great mood. But who wouldn't enjoy watching your kids slide down the stairs together. I do LOVE to hear my kids LAUGH!!!

Football game again

Ethan loves being apart of the football team. One day he'll love playing.

(I need to teach Erin how to keep things in focus) Ethan's Number 38.

Ones thing for sure we enjoy going to cheer him on. AND watching the team play.

Riley's Cast

The first day back to school with his black and orange cast and it's covered with names. Riley is a good sport becasue I asked the doctor to cover his thumb. I just hope he doesn't knock his teeth out.

No time for anything

Riley sent me a voicemail telling me I needed to update my blog this weekend. I finally had a moment to update some things. I'm not sure when I will be able to just sit again for a while. This month Me and Bryan were called to activity chairman(translation Shelly was called). While they were setting us apart they asked me to be the wolf den leader. I have also been subing in the primary. So between all the boys activities and now church activities I have to find a place for my activity. ITS FOOTBALL TIME for me. I can't wait.

ANOTHER BROKEN BONE

Here we go again another broken bone. This time its Riley and his left arm. What a bad mother I am. Friday at Ethan's football practice he fell and I told him he was OK. Saturday he tried to play his first soccer game and just couldn't do it. So off to the Er we went. Both bone in his arm are broken. I will call the Orthopedic doctor tomorrow to schedule an appointment to get his real cast. Pictures will come.

Ethan and more Football

Ethan had a football game in Palm Coast this week. After driving an hour to get to his game they wanted us to pay to get in. That didn't go over well. Here's some pictures of the game and the ride home.
