Busy Week

This past week was so busy at our house with some kind of event every night. I was exhausted by Sunday and loved laying low all afternoon.....even getting in a Sunday nap!

One of the events we had was Carson's Football banquet. His 7th grade team won the championship, going undefeated this year and last year too! What a great group of boys and coaches we had! Here are Carson's stats for the season: 720 rushing yards, 18 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. He had the most touchdowns on his team! What a great little athlete my baby is!

Colton had his very first concert with the Utah Valley Youth Sympthony. He was really nervous but played beautifully. I'm use to hearing him playing in the band so hearing a full orchestra with strings and brass and even percussion was incredible!! What beautiful music and it brought tears to my eyes! I am so proud of Colton and how seriously he takes his music.

What a wonderful experience it has been raising these two boys. They are the best of friends and even "hang out" together with their combined friends. What's even neater, is that they don't have to compete with each other with their chosen past-time talents or hobbies. Carson is all athlete as much as Colton is all music. The two of them complement each other nicely and how great is it that they don't have to compare or measure up to one another in a competetive way.

They are really making their Mommy proud!

I'M STANDING ON A SOAP BOX RIGHT NOW SO BARE WITH ME!!!!

I know my blog is my form of journaling and scrapbooking but it also a way to network something and get the word out when needed. Thus the reason for this post.

I am in a position to sale HCG drops, a safe and effective way to lose stored fat from the body. This is not some hokey back-yard brewed impersonator of the product. It is NRC #'d out of a lab from Texas, purchased by a licensed health care provider who happens to be family. It is safe and legal!!

One 23-day supply bottle is $50....a lot less than the average $300 plus bottle! There is a website you can visit to learn more about HCG. Go to www.myhcgbody.com Just don't purchase the product there at $60 a bottle.....contact me to purchase yours!

There, I'm stepping off my soapbox and thanking you for taking the time to listen to me! :)

The Good Gomer at his BEST!

How many women wished that they were married to a "Jack of all trades". Lucky me, I AM!! My good gomer of a hubby can do it all. Lately he has been into making apple pies and each week when he is home he perfects his recipe to an even more perfect version. Last night after he worked most of the day on a big work project, he couldn't wait to just get in his jammies, build a fire and lounge in his chair watching a good western movie. I knew that wouldn't last long for him.....he's not known to sit still for too long. And I was right, not too long into his lounging by the fire, he announced he was going to go mess around with his pie recipe. He is wanting to have the perfect pie by Thanksgiving. Trust me though, each pie he has already made has been perfect to me, especially the one with the entire bag of kraft caramels in the apple filling...YUM! He told me this one will be the best and I have to admit, I think it is the prettiest one so far. It is very puffy and looks perfecto!!! We're going to dig into tonight for dessert and I can hardly wait!

I love my Good Gomer!!

Cross Country State Champions

This past week we attended a banquet for Taylir and her cross country team who ended up taking the State Championship with both the girls and boys teams finishing in first place. Taylir had a great year and is looking forward to the last big race of the season that is called, "Footlocker" and is held in California the first weekend in December. She has been extremely busy training for it and going door to door in our neighborhood selling pies for the fundraising event. Anybody want a pie???

Way to AF Cross Country!!!!

Kylie???????

Is this my little Kylie??? It can't be.....her hair is all curly and in an up-do.....and look at the sparkly jewelry......and look at the makeup.........BUT IT IS MY KYLIE!!!

Kylie's best friend Kenzie got married Thursday and she was one of her bridesmaids. Anyone who knows Kylie knows that she doesn't like to fuss much with hair and makeup or anything girly girl. Prom didn't even get her in an up-do. But wanting to be a good sport and support Kenzie on her special day, she didn't put up a fight when Penny, Kenzie's mom started foo-fooing her all up. In fact, she said she kind of liked it and she felt so pretty.

I think she looked beautiful and it was so much fun seeing her all done up like this! Something tells me though that we won't see her like this again any time soon.

AF CAVEMEN WIN CHAMPIONSHIP....2 years in a row!!!!

I am so excited this morning!!! Carson and his football team won the championship last night against Lehi, 35 - 14 with Carson scoring two touchdowns, one extra point and a two point conversion!!!
The game was pretty intense with everyone extremely pumped up! Even the weather was great for the game. Carson made the first 15 points of the game and this mommy was pretty thrilled!!!
Kind of bittersweet though because now football season is officially over. No more two hour practices 3 times a week for Carson, which I think he will be okay with truthfully.

He's made some pretty awesome friends from the team and I'm hoping we'll keep seeing them. We're now taking a two month break from sports until baseball starts up again in January!

Thank you to all the wonderful coaches.....you guys rock!

WAY TO GO AF CAVEMEN!!!!!!

HALLOWEEN 2009

For Halloween this year it was pretty low key at our house. The kids are getting older and nobody went trick-or-treating this year for a first! Kylie and Colton dressed up in all black and went to Doug and Kristi's house to hide in the bushes to scare the trick-or-treaters. Taylir dressed up as an 80's girls and went to a party. I can't believe how cute she looked.........I think the 80's were awesome for fashion and so frilly and feminine. Carson didn't dress up this year but went to his first boy/girl party.....woo hoo Carsy boy!! Mark and I stayed home and passed out candy, although we didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as we have in years past. We've still got 4 bags of Kit Kat's leftover! But what we don't have is tons of candy from the kids' stash. It was kind of strange not having to go through their bags to safeguard them this year. Wow, we must be getting old! Halloween is over now, and we're three weeks away from my favorite holiday........THANKSGIVING!

PARTY MONTH!!!

The busy party month of October has come and gone. Taylir and Carson both had big parties for their 13th and 16th birthdays. The house was full of teenagers two nights in a row......What a fun time we had!

This is Taylir's "Sweet Sixteen" party

Carson had his party the next night and he took his friends to a gym to play around in. Afterward, the house filled with teenagers to eat cake and open presents.

What a fun couple of days we had!
