Thanksgiving

We love Thanksgiving at our house.  So much good food!  Dad does almost all the cooking with the kids' help.  It's a fabulous feast every time!!

Basketball Season

As usual, Lady K, J Man and Baby R did basketball.  They all had great seasons up until we had to move.

We love Ashton!

Volleyball Girls

Lady K and Little L had a great time on their volleyball teams this year.  Both made the school teams, which had a lot of competition, K on JV and L on the 7th grade team.  Way to go girls!!

Little L's 13th Birthday

We love this cutie pie!!  Happy 13th to our crafty, kind hearted, lovely Little L!!  For her birthday she wanted to have the Hart family over for dinner and it was a great time!

Mr. M's 16th Birthday

Sweet 16!  He planned an awesome party with his buddies and didn't waste any time asking girls out!!

Murder Mystery Night

Dad and I got together with some friends and played clue for the evening.  I was Mrs. Fuchsia and I don't remember who Dad was.  I borrowed clothes from the girls to pull off my look.  Haha!

Spirit of Elijah

The kids got really good at finding ancestors with the help of their dad.  It was exciting to see them working so hard and finding names of people that needed ordinances performed in the holy temples.  It's so inspiring!

Mr M's Eagle Project

Mr. M did a great job planning and carrying out the details involved for his Eagle Scout project.  He found a man affiliated with our neighborhood HOA who needed help making the backing for our new street signs.  It was a huge undertaking, but Mr. M really worked hard to plan out the project, buy the supplies, get crews together to help build the backs and mount the signs. He was a great leader and the project turned out so great!  Way to go!!

This flag was on the Challenger space ship that exploded just after liftoff.

Uncle Russ came out for the occasion!

The ladies that pulled together a nice reception in less than 24 hours, Jen Cochran, Patti Jones and Jessica Anderson.

Some of the best scout leaders Mr. M has had,  Mike Anderson and Rob Maughan

The board of review committee!

Phew, we did it!  This is one happy momma!!!

December Snow Storm

When it comes to terrible storms, Colorado Springs does not disappoint!  These are pictures of a morning when neither Dad or I could get to work.  I succeeded in getting both cars stuck trying to get out!  Seriously!!

Homecoming

The kids were too young to ask dates to homecoming, but they got together with groups of friends and just went for the fun of it.  They had a great night!
