Turkey Bowl

p

Happy Thanksgiving! We played in a turkey bowl this morning. Everyone got to play. Both David and I scored a touchdown. Anthony, Stryder, and Allyson enjoyed running plays.

Welcome back to SLC

We have been in SLC for about a week and a few days. The first week we were here there was a huge snow storm. Welcome to the winter cold. I am slowly getting used to the cold and rain. I sure was spoiled with St. George weather. The kids are enjoying school and have already made new friends. Anthony went from intermediate school back to elementary school both of which are 6th grade. His comment was "at least I get recess now." He and Stryder are in the same school which makes my life easier with only one time to pick up kids. After the first snow fall I cleaned up the garage so that at least one car has covered parking. David is working for a former employer in a management position. He really enjoys this especially being busy. Allyson and I are unpacking boxes and moving things around to make the house feel like a home. We are pretty much unpacked, we do still have some boxes around the house but it has only been less than two weeks. There is still time to get to them.

Thank heaven for little girls!

Allyson is such a big girl. She is growing up so fast, I can't believe she is 3 and 1/2 years old. She was begging for her picture to be taken. She has loved being in preschool and has learned so much. We need to find a new preschool for her to go to in SLC.

Halloween Party at school

Stryder and Allyson are waiting for the school parade to start. Stryder is a wizard and Allyson dressed up as a monkey(Stryder's costume last year). This is their last day of school in St. George! What a sad day!

Allyson had a trunk or treat party at preschool. She wanted to dress up as a pink puppy just like last year. She is here with some of her preschool friends. She is the one in pink with the cheesy smile. What a goof!

Thanks for everything Mom!

It has been two years since my Mom passed away. While we were in Salt Lake for fall break we went to the cemetery. We each said something that we remember and miss about her. Stryder kept kissing his hand and putting it on the headstone. They truly had a special bond. We love her and miss her! It is good to know that someday we can see her again. The top picture was the day Allyson was born. My Mom was so wonderful and inspiring. I hope that I can be as great as she was!

Playing at the park

We went to the park with Grandpa Hansen, Ashley, Chase, and Cadence. We enjoyed swinging, sliding, monkeying around, football, rolling down the hill, and a picnic. What a beautiful day in Salt Lake!

David's Birthday!

We went to Salt Lake for David's birthday! We went to the University of Utah football game and then to dinner at Red Robins. After we went to his parent's house for cheesecake with the Poulson family. We hope you had a great birthday David! We love you!
