Brittany turnes 13!

Brittany Turned 13 on Nov. 13th! She showed me this Purple Jacket at Shopko, that she wanted so bad. Well being the Mom I am, I thought I will wait a little while for it to come on sale... well I went back to get it a few weeks later and guess what? no jacket urrrgg. In the meantime, she just knew she was getting this jacket, I had to finally ask her if there was something else I could get her, because I couldn't find it anywhere. She wasn't very happy;( A couple of days before her birthday, I went to Salt Lake with my Mom, I can't remember why, I went and did a little shopping and I thought I would try the 3 Shopko's I knew would probably have it. Guess what the last one I went to on Redwood Rd. had it on clearance. So she was very surprised to see it in the box as was I.

Her other big gift was a cell phone, the note said that she could go pick out a phone for her birthday. She was so excited!!! if you can't tell.

A few days later we had her cake with Grandmas and Grandpas and Aunts and Uncles


I had a Surprise Birthday Party for her with all her friends and teammates. She was very excited and surprised!

Halloween

Connor dressed up as a Zombie, Ashleigh did his makeup

Alyssa wanted to be Astrid from How to Train your Dragon Movie. She was a great Astrid she looked just like her!

All Kaeli wanted to be was a Avatar. Since the movie Avatar came out she hasn't seen it but thinks they are really cool, I tried to hard to change her mind but there was no getting around it. She was a cute Avatar!

We looked in the box to see what we had, Keaton lucked out the lion costume fit him. So that is what he was;)


Ashleigh I don't think she was anything this year, and Brittany dressed up like a teal fairy with wings. Couldn't find a picture

The best was Brett, I worked secretly til the night before for his costume. He was going to be the Tooth Fairy... I had made him a rainbow tutu. Kaeli thought this was the funniest thing ever! If you have ever listened to her laugh, it is so cute it is contageous!
contatageous!

Jims 70th Birthday Party

Barbara (my mother in law) planned this huge surprize celebration for her husband Jim's 70th birthday party. We went to Salt Lake to go and help her. She made tons of food and had things for the kids to make and do. It was a lot of fun.
after the kids made their marshmellow guns, they went loose outside and shot each other.

Ashleigh, Brittany, Adrianne and Anthony




Keaton loved the bouncy house

Jim and his Sister Margaret

Jim got to ride on the rolled up bounce house.

Cousin Johnny

Brett's Cousin Johnny, has served many tours over in Afganastan and Iraq. We are always praying for him while he is away. Our kids didn't ever remember him, because it had been a while since we had an family parties. Anyway, Johnny and his brother Tyler came to our house deer hunting this fall. Alyssa was so excited to meet him and get her picture taken with him. This just tickled her. That she was able to meet the person that we had been praying for that is protecting us and America.

Connor - Team Piranahas

Connor played for the piranhas competative soccer team this fall, they all played really hard, but didn't ever win a game. He did have fun and learner a lot.

Kaeli turned 5!

Kaeli turned 5 on Sept. 28th. Oh she was so excited... She got a pink scooter, coat, mermaids, mermaid movie, tinkerbell purse... and lots more. We had cake for her and then next day she had a birthday party with all the neighbor girls.
She had such a fun time!!




Kaeli loves her Great Granndma Watkins. Grandma would watch her last year while I would go to the school to volunteer only about a 1/2 hr a week. But kaeli just loves to go to her house and color with her or play. Kaeli thinks she is very special because she gets to do that with her great-grandma.

Brittany - Team illusion

Brittany started this fall playing on a competitive soccer team Illusion. These girls were made up of another team that didn't ever win, with new girls, this year, they Won, and won games... They were awesome... they ended up taking 3rd overall which was great! Their coach was able to get the girls into a REAL game to be a part of the King of Kings Parade on the field. Then we got to watch the game. It so much fun we enjoyed it.
