Hockey Date

Aaron's work took us to the Coyotes game and we had really good seats. It was lots of fun and we got to hang out with some great friends. I love dates that don't cost anything!

Courtney and me.

Our row was announced as the row that gets free Papa John's pizza coupons, but they messed up and gave them to the row two rows ahead of us. Rip off! When asked about it, they said the announcer messed up and said the wrong row. Better luck next time. Oh-well.
We had a really good time, though, and the Coyotes won!

Baptisms

I went to my niece, Madi's baptism yesterday and I was just thinking about how special and wonderful that event is. My brother did such a great job and it was incredibly sweet and touching. Also, I'm grateful my husband is such an amazing man and father and that he was able to baptize our kids just like my dad baptized me. What a blessing. I am so grateful for families and the happiness ours has brought to me. I love that my kids have so many cousins and aunts and uncles and g'mas and g'pas. I never really had that growing up and I must say, it's wonderful and sooo much fun. Anyway, that's all. I'm just feeling so thankful right now for all that I have, my friends, family, a house, a washing machine (could you imagine?)....

Here's a few pictures to look at for fun.

I'll tell you what, this is by far the coolest jumpsuit out of the three. LOL Love the belt!

Cool hair, huh?

Rodney Atkins--Watching You

I know a lot of you have heard this song before, but I just wanted to share it with any of you that haven't or haven't in a while. I really like this song. It's so special, and sometimes scary, how our kids really are watching us all the time, even when we don't realize it. They are so quick and eager to learn. What a blessing and responsibility to have that pressure to be on our best behavior all the time. I'm grateful to be a mother and have an amazing husband who is the best daddy ever. Anyway, you should check out the video... Rodney Atkins--Watching You.

X-rays and Spirits

Last week pretty much EVERYONE in our house was sick with fevers and coughs. Wilson ended up with breathing treatments, steroids, antibiotics and PNEUMONIA. So fun. Anyway, when we went to go get a chest x-ray to see for sure if it was pneumonia, he was pretty excited. First x-ray. Afterwards, he asked me, "Can they see my spirit on an x-ray?" I said, "No." Wilson said, "Oh, I was thinking it was blue and maybe naked, or not naked." So cute! I love you Wilson!

International Soccer Game

Aaron took Lucas and Wilson, along with Bubba, Justin, Papa, Nate and Drew, to the International Soccer Game between USA and Venezuela at the University of Phoenix Stadium. They also all had a yummy dinner at one of our favorite restaraunts, Hal-o-peno's.

The End.

Swingin' Good Time

We enjoyed the park while Aaron, Lucas and Wilson had soccer practice along with some of our Alger and Ely cousins and our neighbor Betheny. Ryan

Cheesy Nellie Girl-2yrs

She loves swinging. As Gram pulls the kids back for the first swing/push she always says, "To the Moon." That's one of Nellie's favorite things now. "To the Moooooon!"

Fiesta Bowl

Aaron and I got to go to the Fiesta Bowl and pre-game party/dinner with Elisa and Fred. It was so much fun.

We had AWESOME seats in the 20th row from the bottom!

I even bought some cotton candy for $5.75! I never get it, but this time I did. Do you know how much sugar you could buy with $5.75? A lot. Oh-well, it was really tasty.

I LOVE COTTON CANDY!

Too bad Stanford lost.

Thanks guys for a great night!
