Football Season Is Over!

I am kinda bummed, football season is over! It was so fun watching Dylan this year. He was the one on the field that was always telling the other players stuff like Watch the ball, and go right, go left. After the season they had a team party at Primos. Each team member (boy) gets to vote for who they want to be the MVP, or whatever there were 5 awards given to the boys. The coaches leave it up to the boys to decide who gets one and Dylan got one of the 5. OF course I can't remember what award it was. I was so proud of Dylan. He Did so good, now we just need to work on him tackling harder! Next year!

Layci's Kindergarten Harvest Party


This was Layci's Harvest Party....I headed this project up for her kindergarten class. We took pictures of the kids as scarecrows, they decorated cupcakes as spiders
They made spider suckers with pipe cleaners and they played tic tac toe with candy corn and candy pumpkins. They also colored Halloween pictures and played Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Ghost. Their favorite thing was the tic tac toe game....I was really surprised that they liked that the best. It was a really fun time for them.

Dylan Turned 12!


Dylan turned 12 on October 23. Grandma and Grandpa Westover came up. Dylan became a Deacon the next weekend. Gene wanted to be there when Dylan was ordained. They were so sweet, they bought Dylan this new suit, shoes, and socks, belt etc.....He looked so handsome!

Halloween Pictures....I know Its kind of late!

I know this is kind of outdated but, those of you who know me, know what has been happening in my life. This is seriously the first time I have even logged into my blog since Oct. 7.
The good news, My Dad is doing so much better...everything went well with the surgery, he just needs to take it easy for a few more weeks and watch what he eats.
Halloween was alot of fun for the kids. We went over to Traci's neighborhood for Trick or Treating. Lala wanted to be a cheerleader and since BSU is doing so Awesome I thought it was cute!



This is my nephew Zack. He is such a cutie. He loved going Trick or Treating

















Carson, Chloe and Connor. They were all so cute!












I am not sure really what Dylan ended up being, something from Star wars. He put is costume together by himself. Hayden Was his hero Ian Johnson!

Vegas!

This last weekend I got to go to Las Vegas to help my parents with a craft show! I had alot of fun...It is always work to go and help them, but we always go after the show is over at night and look around, go to dinner etc.
I flew in on Thurs afternoon. That night we went to Henderson where Curtis and Christina Young lives and had a BBQ with them. It was so good to visit with them.
Their show is actually in Boulder City which is about 20 miles away. The show gets over at 5 every night and then we go downtown.
The first night we went to the Rio. We ate at the seafood buffet there. It was realy good. We stayed around and watched the show in the sky. They have these really cool things that hang from the ceiling, like a hot air balloon, a boat, this really cool looking flower thing. People are on these things dancing and throwing beaded necklaces down to the casino below. It is really fun to watch. It is also very loud. I kinda liked it. Mom said it was too loud for her. Of course they play awesome Music that I would know!
The next night we went to the Bellagio. They have the most amazing buffet. The food is soooo good. Curtis and Christina and had dinner with us. The Bellagio also decorates this huge room for each season. The room was decorated with all kinds of real flowers, and pumpkins and cool trees etc. It had these amazing trees that were fountains. I know my description doesn't give you a good picture. I took my camera to take pictures and my batteries were dead. I was sooo bummed.
It was a good time! I love going to this show. It is kinda my Birthday present every year. It is fun to get away, but I missed my family horribly! I am glad to be home!

Dylans Court of Honor

Last week, Dylan had a Court of Honor for Boy Scouts. I was really proud of him. He earned his 1st and 2nd class and 8 Merit badges (he only got 4 that night but he had completed 8). We had to hurry right after football practice to get there. I am sure Dylan doesn't smell all that great! :) This is his scout leader Brian Bennion.
This was one of the Merit Badges that That he earned it was for Photography. Greg and Dylan went and took pictures one day this summer and Greg taught him about the camera and diffent settings and stuff. Dylan made a photography board about what he learned. I am really proud of Dylan. His goal is to get his eagle scout by 13 1/2.

Fire Department Field Trip.

A few weeks ago, we went to the fire department for Scouts. Hayden really liked it! The last time he went there was in preschool. He thought it was really cool to be able to play in the firetruck. He was so cute. He kept wanting me to take his picture.
