Thankful

It's November the month that reminds all of us what we are thankful for.  I like to hope that I express my thanks more than 1 month out of 12 but it's nice to have a reminder to do it again.

I'm thankful for this kid.  He's the one that made me a mommy for the very first time! He's humble and sweet and an amazing baseball and soccer player. He is such a great person and you can't help but love him.

I'm thankful for this girl! She's my princess and my firecracker.  She is honest to the bone and isn't afraid to give everyone a chance most times multiple chances.  She's forever my baby girl and I'm so thankful she's mine.

I'm thankful for my baby! He keeps us on our toes and he brings so much laughter to our lives.  He's my go getter and isn't afraid to join in the fun. He completes our family.

I'm thankful for my man! He keeps me going and believes in me. He loves me and all of my faults. He's the best daddy and hubby and I can't imagine life with out him. I thank my lucky stars that he's mine forever and ever!

I'm Thankful for our families. They support us and love us unconditionally and in today's world that is huge! 

Lastly I'm thankful for the gospel and this life even with all of it's challenges.

Soccer Season

Fall Soccer Season has ended and boy did we have a great season!  Trey has really come into playing and has done an amazing job this season.  Last year at this time he was getting down the positions and really wanted to score. This year he has become a scoring machine. It's been an awesome experience to see him grow and achieve his goals. 

Elle had an okay season.  Her team wasn't the best and that can be hard but she played like a champ and wasn't afraid to put herself out there.  I'm excited to see her continue and can't wait to see what the next season brings.

Brex is back!  Last year at the end of season he was struggling, this year he came back better than ever.  He  had tons of goals and loved playing.  

 Trey's team was undefeated 

 Uncle Brandon came and saw the last games of the season.

Last night we had a little family poker game.  Trey is quite the natural and beat his daddy with a set of Jacks to knock him out.

Halloween and such

Halloween has come and gone and we had another successful year! This year we went trick or treating with our friends and had a great time! Trey was Mike Trout, Elle was a honey bee(not a bumble bee) and Brex was the Hulk!  Each kid had parties at school and Cale and I were able to catch at least some parts of their day.  Trey and Elle had a parade out on the track and it was fun to see them walking with their friends and teachers.  I have to say their teachers are quite creative!  Trey's 4th grade teachers were "old people" one even carried her toilet around! Elle's 3rd grade teachers were the 3 blind mice!  I love that their school is so fun and creative!  Brex got to go to 2 halloween parties at preschool.(the ups of going to 2 different preschool classes) Ms. Brandy was a green witch and Brex wasn't too sure about her.  His other teacher was a scarecrow and he seemed to like that a little bit better.  Overall fun was had by all. 

The day after Halloween we had volleyball and soccer and a visit from G&G Whitney.  It was fun to spend the day with them. It's amazing how fun life can be when you get to spend it with the people you love! We've been lucky the past couple of weeks, Uncle Dan came down, than G&G and this weekend we get a visit from Uncle Brandon and his girlfriend.  I love it and I know that the kids love it too! 

Anyway the kids are doing great in school, they just finished up red ribbon week and field trips to the symphony, and the Cinderella play.  We have kept all 3 pretty busy but I don't think they would want it any other way.
