Merry Christmas!

What a wonderful time of the year! We are so blessed to have such amazing family and friends. It is a very special time of the year and although I don't say it often enough I love my family and friends and I am thankful for all they do for me.

We hope everyone had a magical Holiday and here is to a blessed New Year!!!

Winter Prom

I still can't believe I have a 16 year old :)

Tonight she had her winter prom and it was a very crazy night to say the least. I got off work early so we would have plenty of time to get everything done, but wouldn't you know it....there is no such thing. Alex and I didn't agree on a hair style...she of course won on that battle. Next came the make-up issue and Kara Dawnie was scheduled to take on that roll (which she does spectacularly) but she came down with the flu. Lastly 10 min before her date was to pick her up....she said, "oh we forgot the boutineer” Holly Hannah!!!! I ran to the flower shop like the crazy mother I am and they pulled off a miracle, but Alex and her date did have to wait about 5 minutes for me to get home :) She was not very happy that Rhett took any pictures, but he was able to grab just a few. Oh the joys of a teenager. Off to the dance she goes and home early for tomorrow she has the ACT!

As for Kiara, she stated Jr JAZZ league and has played two games! She is playing with her soccer team and what a shocker...they are awesome :) She has a long way to go, but she is so fun to watch and she is getting better every day!

December is half over...it's almost Christmas and I must say I love this time a year. Rhett has been so cute about it as well....I am very happy to have such a wonderful family! We even get to listen to Christmas music 24/7 (thanks family and Elise for allowing me this :))

Hope all is well, until next post!

December :D

I can't believe it is December!!! We have been back in Utah for 4 months now and we are having a hard time with the cold…we miss the warmer weather. Plus the Bolo's had baby number three and we are so missing them.

For Thanksgiving we went to Salina/Aurora and had dinner with my family on Wednesday night and then turkey day was spent with the Hallows's family. We then headed off for a very crazy, very packed weekend. Alex had a soccer tournament in Las Vegas and Kiara had a tournament in St. George...thus our weekend was CRAZY!!!!

We took Keaten with us and she is such a doll!!! She is so good and so much fun to be around. I am happy to be close to her again. J Thanks for coming Keeter…you’re the bomb!

Alex and Kiara both played very good soccer this past weekend and I was so proud of them both. Kiara’s little team took the championship yet again…4 for 4 :D She even put in the perfect PK to tie the game for her team!!! Alex played some fantastic soccer. It was so fun to see her play and boy oh boy was she the bomb!!! She looked awesome and everyone commented on it, including her ideal. Way to go girls we are very proud of you!!!

Now bring on Christmas….our house is ready and the shopping has begun!
