Weekly Update

We've had amazing weather this past week and have been outside playing and working in the yard a lot!

We had the Football Banquet on Tuesday evening.

The boys working on homework!

Ethan participated in cupcake wars for Young Mens on Wednesday night.

Cole and Liv went to fun Birthday Parties on Friday night.  Shawn was working, so Ethan and I decided to go out to dinner.  We stopped at a fun sandwich shop on the lake.

Having fun at the arcade on Saturday night.

 

**I realize there is not one picture of Liv from this week.  I promise she is still alive.  She is mostly running between school and gymnastics.  Preparing for the state meet coming up soon!**

Weekly Update

Cole stayed home sick on Monday and struggled all week long feeling good. 

We had a spooky dinner party!

We made homemade root beer.  Liv threw up that night, after THREE donuts and multiple cups of root beer.

Ollie threw up that night also.  Looks like the kids were feeding him some of our dinner :( This is were he usually sits and patiently waits while we eat!

Friday night Shawn and Ethan went to Chicago.  It was Ethan's first time being able to go and do baptism's for the dead with the youth from church.

Liv went to a Halloween Party at her friends house.  She sent me this picture of her holding a chinchilla.

Cole and I decided we should make Friday a fun night for us so I told him I would take him out to dinner, anywhere he wanted.  He chose Taco Bell :)

Following dinner we went to Office Max for some school supplies and then we headed home and carved 4 pumpkins.

Cole was a good helper and we got it done just in time to go pick up Liv from her party.

We had Halloween Parties and Trick or Treating!

Today was Stake Conference.  We got a new Stake Presidency and had one of the new apostles speak, Elder Renlund.  The kids and I got to meet him and shake his hand before the meeting started.  Last Stake Conference we had Elder Oaks come and the kids got to meet him and shake his hand also.  I think it is pretty cool that my kids have meet two apostles of the Lord. 

Weekly Update

Ethan had his last soccer game of the season on Saturday and Cole had his first game of football playoffs.  It was almost 2 hours away and we got killed :(

We got the kids school pictures back.

Liv had a meet this weekend.  We only have two meets left until State.

We had our annual Halloween Trunk or Treat at church.  Ethan was "too big" for a picture, but he dressed up as a hippie. 

Shawn and I did some major yard work and cleaned out all our flower pots.

We did some clothes shopping, which is not fun to do with the kids.

We celebrated our neighbors birthday!

Liv went to a fun skating birthday party Saturday night.

While Liv was skating, Shawn and I went out to dinner for a fun date night.

The boys played football in the church gym with other youth from church.

And, Ollie is still enjoying the fireplace :)

Weekly Roundup!

Ethan finished cross country this past week.  His last meet was on Wednesday and he did great.

Liv and I went to Super Saturday and made bath bombs and a cute duct tape bag.

Last home football game.  Cole asked me to wear his away jersey to the game.

Wearing pink wrist bands for breast cancer.

Ethan and Liv love coming to the football games because they have their own little games going on the side.  Ethan plays his own football game behind the bleachers with his friends.

Liv runs crazy with her posse under the bleachers.

Liv had another meet this weekend.

Liv had another great meet, and even took 1st place on vault (which is huge for her since Vault has been one of her most difficult events)

Ethan had a soccer game this weekend.  It was a little intense and they lost at the last minute.

Ollie likes to ride in the car with us.  Actually he just hates being left at home :)

He also likes to lay in front of the fireplace.

Cole is obsessed with collecting football cards right now.
