Christmas Eve

Cooper was 'ninja' Joseph.

Daisy backed out playing Mary at the last minute (boy those pre teen girl hormones are gonna be the death of me) so I got to be Mary.

We spent Christmas Eve at the Day's. We had dinner, played games, exchanged gifts, and had the nativity. Then we had to drive home and get in bed so Santa could come.

Hall party on Christmas Eve Eve

We had dinner and the cousin gift exchange. We had a talent show. Lindsay just started piano so she played 2 songs. Daisy wouldn't play her songs. Don't know what her problem was. Cooper got up and sang Jingle Bells for us. Then they did the nativity. It was a fun night with our family.

Cooper loves playing in the leaves and grandpa has lots of good trees in the yard. There is alot of piles to make and jump in.

She's cancer free!

Jillyn and Brandon were going to California for Christmas but they drove here for a couple of days before. We were so excited too because Jillyn found out on December 19th that her cancer was gone! We had a family fast for her on Sunday and she has had so much love, prayers, fasting and support from friends and family. We are so thankful she is cancer free!

Christmas Party

I got to go volunteer in Cooper's class on the last day before vacation. He has amazing teachers. They had 8 centers and they made super cute crafts. It was so much fun to watch him in action. He loves school and it was fun to spend the day with him.They got to clean their desks with shaving cream. Cooper was in heaven. That is his most favorite thing to do.

New Backyard

Our backyard was half done when we bought it. The only problem is that they planted trees in dumb spots and they planted all the ones that shed things all over. Not what we wanted. So we (and by that I mean Jeff) chopped them all down to start fresh. We are going to plant grass and hopefully grow a garden.

Jamee's Wedding

eleven-eleven-eleven. Do you know how crowded the temple was that day? The wedding was amazing and the reception was the bomb! I love my family and I love bustin a move on the dance floor with my sisters, Randy and my kids. Cooper tore it up. It was such a fun day!

Daisy's last primary program

Yep she was pretty excited. No more Primary in a couple of months. I can't believe she's almost 12.

My seester (the rock star)

I never posted about Jillyn. My sister was diagnosed with colon cancer at the end of April. She went in for surgery soon after. They removed part of her colon, took out her appendix, and found a cyst on her ovary that they reomoved too. She started chemo in May. She lives in Utah so we don't get to see her as much as we want. My mom was up there for about 6 weeks while she recovered from surgery and went to her first chemo treatment. She came down this weekend because we had a silent auction/fundraiser for her. She is amazing and she has such a positive attitude. I am amazed at how she can be so postive and she is 100% going to kick it in the booty!Cooper and my nephew Avery. Best buds.

Cooper loves Jillyn's dogs.

My kiddos with Jillyn.

Soccer

This is how we are spending our Saturdays for the next few weeks. I sit at the soccer field for 2 to 3 hours cheering on my kiddos. Some are a little more into it than others. But we won't name names:)Soccer mom (In my workout clothes. Hopefully my kids arent too embarassed my me.)

Daisy and her friend Brylee.

October Break

My kids loved hanging out in Gilbert with grandma for a couple of days. And of course our cousins too.

I think they needed a break from school. Lindsay fell asleep one night doing homework:)

Jamee and Britt

My sister Jamee got engaged in July to Britt. She went through the temple today. I headed over there with the kids for a few days since it was October Break from school.

We love high school football. Its even more fun when you know people on the team. We've enjoyed going to watch Buckeye play on Friday nights.

We like going to watch our friend's son. He has quite the cheering section.
