Getting Crafty!

The kids had so much fun making these cute and very inexpensive crafts that I got at Michael's Craft. Something to get us in the Halloween spirit! The lanterns were a bit harder to do, so I helped out with those.

Fall is here!

We had a Welcome to Fall/Chris' B-day party.

We decided to welcome fall by having a pizza party and then after having ooey gooey Carmel apples! It coincided nice with Chris' B-day (we celebrated it a day early because football interferes with the actual big day). Happy 35th Birthday Chris! I love you so much!

A Visit to Eden

We went up to Eden to visit Dave, Amy and their cute kids. We also did some dirt biking and four wheeling. There is a dirt road right next to Dave and Amy's, so we took the machines over there so the kids could ride. They had a lot of fun! Camden and Izzy kept busy taking the jeep out for a ride. When we got to their house the first thing Aunt Amy did was pull Camden's hair up out of his eyes so he could see! (He has gotten a much needed haircut since then!) After four wheeling we had a barbecue and sleepover. The next morning Amy made a yummy breakfast for us before we headed back home. It was such a fun over night getaway. Something we will have to do again for sure. Thank you Dave and Amy!

The views from Dave and Amy's are beautiful.

Camden and Chris took a ride on Uncle Dave's four wheeler.

Chandler zippin' around

Is Chris in the Wrong Business?

For Chandler's baptism I wanted to order a fruit bouquet from a company. I looked into it and found out that it would cost between $65-$120 for a nice one. Chris said that was ridiculous and that he would make one himself, so he did. I did not help one smidgen with it. He did such a great job! I was so proud!!

Chandler's Baptism

Can you say "Handsome!"

Chandler was baptized on Saturday! He has been soooo excited for this. The day of his baptism he kept asking "is it time to go yet?" He couldn't wait to get to the church for his special day. Chandler has always been very spiritual. He has such a sweet spirit and always tries to do what's right. I am so happy that he chose to be baptized.

Another Saturday.....Another Game!

We played Riverton this week. Let's just say it didn't go as well as last weeks game. The final score 34-0 for Riverton. Not such a happy ending!

Christian earned the Defensive MVP ball. He sacked the quarter back causing him to fumble. Way to go Christian!!

After having some time to contemplate the game I have come to wonder, could the reason we lost be because of these new cleats of Christian's? He just got these cleats and this was his first game using them. Christian's last cleats he had gave him an undefeated season (hmmmm.... makes ya wonder) or was the loss because our starting quarterback and running back were out of town? Maybe the loss could have been because our team just didn't show up to play. I don't know which of the reasons it could be, maybe it was a combination of them all. All I do know is that I hope next weeks game goes much much better!

It's Great to be 8!

I cannot believe our little (or not so little anymore) Channybug is 8!

I had been asking him for weeks what he wanted for his b-day. He couldn't think of anything, so it was up to Chris and I to decide. We got him some football stuff (gloves, dri fit shirt, mouthguard and those sticker thingies that you put under your eyes to look tuff.) We also got him an ipod shuffle (Chris' idea) what a great idea, Chandler loved it! Chandler woke up early on his b-day because he was so excited. He opened his presents and ate breakfast (an omelet w/ a candle on top) Then we downloaded some songs on his new ipod, Chris took Chan to get a new suit for his baptism. Then Chris and I took him out to lunch (Chilis Chandler's choice). We told Chan he could pick out one more present. He choose a speaker for his ipod. That night we had Grandma, Grandpa and Oma come over for dinner & cake. It was a great day. Chan was lucky his b-day fell on a holiday. That meant NO SCHOOL!

Chandler I hope you had a fabulous birthday! We love you so much!!
