Girls craft Day

I had so much fun getting together with Becky and Calli and making these cute wreaths. I think the reason Becki and Calli and I all get along so well is because our husbands are all so much alike, we understand each other!
I love anytime in get to spend with these sweet ladies!

Shut The Barn Door!

I'd been eyeing some cute sliding barn door shutters on various decorating blogs for a while and dreaming about putting some up in my dining room. Well, as he usually does, Adam has once again made my dreams come true!
These were actually a combined effort. I designed them. Adam cut the boards and put them together. I sanded and stained them and finally, Adam hung them.  I love how they look, and they work great too! Hooray!

Light it up!

Hooray!! I finally get Christmas lights on my house without having to do any work! This is a dream come true for me because I love Christmas lights, but hate Ladders!

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed an awesome Thanksgiving feast with the Gurrs this year. We all met in Florence, at Richard and Calli's house. The kids always have a blast with their cousins. It was a little crazy because our weather has been unseasonably warm so it was almost 100*f. While we were there!
On Friday night we went to my parents house and had a Pizza party with most of my siblings. Paul brought a movie projector and the kids all loved watching a movie under the stars!
We love our families SO much and are very grateful for the love and support we share with each family member.

Cooking with Eliza

For one of Eliza's personal pregress projects, she decided to teach some younger girls in our ward some of the things she learned in her FACS class at school.
All the girls had a wonderful time and learned new recipes!
Great job Eliza!

Annual Hike up Four Peaks

Our ward has a tradition of taking the scouts to hike to the top of four peaks each November. This year Cliff was able to go with Adam and Caleb. It's a really hard hike with a lot of climbing, but all the boys made it to the top! Great job everyone!

World's okayest Coach!

When city league soccer started up earlier this fall, It became evident that there wouldn't be enough coaches for all the girls who wanted to play. I figured I knew enough to put together some practices and with a little help from Eliza we might actually even win a game or two.
So I volunteered, and drafted a team, and we began practices in September.
We actually ended up with a great team. We lost a few games, but we won most of them and we came in second place at the tournament! It was really fun coaching Eliza and Sarah. Eliza is an amazing forward and It turns out that Sarah rocked at playing midfield! Who knew!?
