MWC CHAMPS!!!

Hunter, Sophie and I went up to the Utah vs Byu game and had the time of our life! My Dad has had season tickets to the U for ten years now and it has been a tradition for Hunter and I to go to the game against Byu. This year I left Brielle home with TJ and his Mom since he had to work, I wanted Hunter and I to be able to really enjoy each other's company. So thanks! Brielle had a blast and didn't feel left out at all! We left Friday after school and went to dinner at Red Robin with some of my friends that I miss so much and then Saturday spent the whole day partying Ute style!! We went and bought some new Utes gear and Hunter did some fun activities at the tailgate party! The game was AMAZING!!! The kids were perfect! Sophie slept through 1st and 3rd Quarter and learned how to cheer really loud! I mean REALLY loud! After the Utes creamed the Cougars we went to my Cousin Carly's wedding at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and saw my Mom's side the the family. We looked pretty funny showing up in our Ute gear and looked pretty scary but oh well! We kinda got a five generation picture. I treasure these memories year after year and it really doesn't matter who win's (but of course it makes it that much better when we do!!) we have so much fun together!! Thanks Mom and Dad we had so much fun and Hunter still says its the best day ever! GO UTES GO!!!! Sorry the picture are not in order I don't know why it wouldn't work!

Houdini

Sophie is getting into everything she can reach really reach! She has been tearing off her little tray on her bumbo seat and throwing it and then reaches around to get things! I think it's time to move her to the high chair!

GO GREEN!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know I LOVE (I know I say that a lot but I do!!!) the reusable bags!! They are only $1 a bag and you get money back for using them!!! Plus the best part they fit sooooooo much stuff in them!! I came home with two full bags that would've been ten plastic bags! Much easier to carry two and a baby instead of ten and a baby! Here are some pictures to prove you can fit a ton of stuff in them!!

Soccer Finale!

Hunter had his last soccer game and all I can say is WOW!! They played a tough team and did really well! The first half he didn't score any goals and got a bit emotional (he has such strong emotions it's so sad to see him get so worked up.) But the second half kicked a long hard goal and then last second of the game scored a tough goal and won the game!!! The team won all but one game and that game was a tie! We are so proud of him! He has such a talent and is so dedicated!! I am also proud of my cute hubby, he is the best coach ever and I am not being biased! He works so hard and doesn't have a lot of time to himself, still he worked around his schedule to be able to attend all the games and practices. The bond between him and Hunter as grown so much these last few weeks he is Hunter's idol. We had a pizza party at our house after and gave out their trophies and some goodies. We are going to miss watching these little guys but hopefully they will all be back together in the spring! GO KILLER BEE'S!!!!

Sophie's first sleepover!

I don't know how parents know when you've had a hard week but, my parents offered to take ALL three kids for the first time Friday night for a sleepover! Sophie has never slept over anywhere before and did great (so I hear!) My parent's are so great at asking to take the kids and always having something fun to do! It's nice after working hard all week and driving five hours they still want to take them! I know they are a handful! They took Hunter and Brielle to Madagascar 2 and then picked up Sophie. THANKS for the rest love ya!

Flag Football

TJ started playing football with some of his co-workers on a Pizza Factory team and we all went and watched his first game. Brielle was so cute cheering GO UTES ummmmm PIZZA FACTORY!!! Every time he caught the ball or got another guys flag they would yell GO DADDY!! Which is pretty funny since he is playing with a bunch of single kids. And at the end of the game they ran onto the field and said GOOD JOB DADDY YOU PLAYED GREAT! It was pretty cold but we all went to McDonalds after and warmed up!

Free Snapfish Book

I received this link from TJ's aunt (thanks!) I just wanted to pass it on! It's for a FREE 8X11 ($30) 20 page book, shipping isn't included ($7). I love these books! I have done a few of them, never from this company but others I am sure they are all somewhat the same. I also have scanned the kids artwork instead of taking pictures of them. I think it's only good until Nov 16th so hurry!

I am HUNGRY!!!

Every year a local radio station tries to get as much as they can for the Dixie Care and Share and has lunch for $5 and if you donate canned food you get your name in a drawing. Last week TJ and I decided to go get lunch and give the kids a chance to donate. We gave Hunter and Brielle each a bag of food and on the way there were explaining to them that there are people that need our help and they're hungry and we can help them. Brielle was starving (as usual) and couldn't wait to get lunch and kept asking if there would be food for her too. We told her we would buy lunch and donate at them same place. So we got in line and paid for our lunch and the kids gave their bags to the lady and then Brielle says to the lady, "Are you hungry?" The lady looked at her and said no and asked why and Brielle said "I am starving! I want my food back then!" I took her hand and got in line for the food and told her the lady would give the food to the hungry people and showed her what we would be eating. She quickly forgot about her bag of food once she had a big plate of food! This picture explains Brielle completly, if I had two words to explain her it would be FOOD and TALKING! She started talking at 18 months (when other people could understand her too) and has always grabbed my food even before she had teeth! She is such a funny girl with so much spunk!

Sophie Month 7

Sophie is getting so much personality lately! I absolutely love this stage, just playing and laughing and figuring this world out. She has figured out she can keep rolling and rolls across the living room all the time. Hunter is amazed by this and this she should stay in one place (I agree!) She doesn't really like being on her tummy and just rolls but is starting to push up and push on her toes. She is saying Dada, Mama, Papa, Baba, and Hi! Well we all hear hi anyway. She is a great eater and loves her sippy cup but her favorite is drinking water out of my cup! She is in her stranger anxiety stage which is bad for Mom but at least she loves me right? Her two bottom teeth keep popping up and then going back down and I just wish they would stay up. She isn't too cranky while teething but she is easily agitated and you can tell they bug her. She can squeal as loud as her siblings and isn't afraid to join in while they are playing. She is such a joy!

Hunter's Soccer Pictures

Here is Hunter's soccer picture for the 2008 season. Go Killer Bee's! They only have one more game left and we are going to miss watching him play. He made four goals today but more importantly tried to help his teammate who hasn't scored a goal yet. He could have had the extra goals but instead tried to assist. We are so proud of him, he is such a good teammate.

Go UTES!!!

We had TJs family over for a pizza party to watch the UTAH vs TCU game (they are all Byu fans though) it was an awesome game! I love when games are close. WOOT WOOT!! Thanks for the help guys :) Can't wait for the big game in a couple of weeks! GO UTES GO!! 10-0

Redbox

TJ loves movies, I mean seriously could watch them 24/7. I like them but I fall asleep most the time and unless they are great and I really want to see it I skip em. So since this is our family journal and it will be funny to look back on when technology changes. We love the Redbox! Now there are a ton more around our town yeah! For $1 you can get a movie and then drop if off at any Redbox station! Go to the website www.redbox.com and sign up to get emails and text messages to your phone. They send them on Mondays and sometimes Wednesdays to get a free movie that day only! You can also reserve movies online too. Oh I love technology! Also I Love Best Buy, I will only buy my electronics there because for $20 you can buy the three year warranty and they will fix it or replace it for FREE. Any problem sometimes I make up problems hee hee. TJ bought me a HP photosmart all in one printer (printer, scanner, copier) three years ago and it has been giving me trouble for the last little while, so I took it in and since it would be more to fix it I got a brand new one for FREE!!!! YEAH YEAH! I was so excited. Same thing with our IPOD's I took mine in because it was not holding a charge and got a new upgraded one for FREE since they are cheaper now then when I bought mine. So for Twenty dollars I got a new upgraded one! I highly recommend Best Buy!

Barack Obama our next President

I am sick already of people talking crap about Obama being president and then saying they didn't vote! Seriously, it's so annoying! If you didn't vote you shouldn't say anything about who was elected. No matter who you voted for I think we should all be proud of our country and come together. I was proud of my country last night and I think this election proved something and meant something. I wasn't fond of either candidate but I think the beauty of this country is we all have a voice. So Barack Obama is our 44th President and I feel sorry for him, no matter what he does he's going to have a ton of pressure to fix the mess we are in.

Brielle's Class Picture

Here is Brielle's class picture, for Barefoot Montessori 2008-2009 school year. I love this preschool, Hunter went there two years and Brielle started her first year and is doing so well. She loves going and is learning so much. The great thing about Montessori is they all learn at their own pace and there is four teachers, one for each area. There are four area's, reading, math, sensorial, and practical life, which are all hands on. Plus on Friday's they do gymnastics's (they teach gymnastics's and dance too). Brielle is on the top right.

Get out and Vote!!!!

Just came back from voting and the lines were not bad at all. Just reminding everyone to go out and vote!

Trick or Treat.....

This year was the best year by far. My parents came over and we headed to Pizza Factory to see TJ and the crew dressed up and then started trick-r-treating. We went around the block then came home and handed out candy while my Dad scared the crap out of kids. He was scary Harry (Brielle loves the movie Harry and the Henderson's and picked out his costume). We did that for an hour and I asked the kids if they wanted to go around some more before TJ got home to take us to visit family, and they said no they wanted to hand out candy and spook people. I was glad they didn't get very much candy and still had a blast!

Sophie's First Halloween

Sophie was such a trooper all week staying up late, running around, and dressing up in all sorts of costumes. She would look around at everyone and just stare, I don't think she understood the whole spooky thing just yet. She was the cutes little Bat Girl and Witch I have ever seen.
