Bad Blogger Part 2

October On October 25th Koby turned 17! Seriously how is this even possible! We took Koby out to lunch and then he went with his friends to a UofU football game and to Frightmares. When he got home he found out that we finally got Steve a new car so he kind of also got a new car for his birthday. Lucky kid! November I was swamped with planning, organizing and running super Saturday for the ward. We made some really great crafts and I got a huge jump start on Christmas gifts. My wonderful family helped me set up, clean up and keep me sane. On the same day as this Koby had to work and the rest of us ran to Price for my cousin Erik's wedding. Talk about an exhausting day. Once that was over we started planning for Thanksgiving. Everyone in my family was coming for Thanksgiving so I had an amazing idea to do family pictures. We found a great photographer and coordinated clothes and the turned out so good. (I am doing a completely separate post of just those pictures!) Thanksgiving was great and I enjoyed my favorite holiday even more than usual. Koby started wrestling practices. December This month went by like a blur. There were so many parties and we had plenty of shopping trips and game nights. Koby finally let us meet his girlfriend. We had Sara come over for dinner and to play games. It was really fun and we like Sara a lot. Koby also had a few wrestling matches, work and he got sick with bronchitis. We got to visit Santa and have breakfast at UVU. Morgan had a dance performance. Steve worked a lot of overtime. I got a lot of time off for the holidays which was so nice. Christmas was wonderful and relaxed, we stayed home until the day after when we headed to Richfield to visit family. We ended the Year with a party at Brian and Jody's home on New Years eve. What an incredible year! We are so blessed and loved.

Bad blogger part 1

It has been so long since I have written. It seems as if I just skipped fall, I didn't though. We have just been busy and I never sat down and journaled our life. I am sad about that because this is my only journal. I don't want to marathon blog because I am sure that I will forget something important but oh well. August The kids went back to school. Morgan started 4th grade, she get her very own locker and loves school. She has made a lot of new friends this year. She likes her teacher and is doing very well. Morgan is such a smart kid! Koby is a junior in high school. He has several difficult classes but is doing well. UVU is back in session and I am swamped at work but my new awesome boss encourages me to take an advanced excel class. Steve takes a fun camping trip with his brother Brian and a couple of friends (Frank and Joe). They got to visit southern Utah and saw some beautiful sites and enjoyed hiking and the great outdoors. Maylee loves to go to Becky's (babysitter) house and has so many friends to play with each day. September My sweet baby nephew Kyler is born! Morgan starts her soccer season and got to play on a great team-they had several wins and a fun season. Morgan also joined the school dance club and has practice 2x a week, she really enjoys it. Koby decided he wanted a part time job and started working at a pizza joint a few evenings a week as a bus boy and dish washer. He brings home yummy leftovers all the time but so far we haven't gone and eaten dinner there while he is working. He seems to think that may be embarrassing. We had an amazing opportunity to go to the Ogden temple open house before the temple was rededicated. It was a beautiful experience and very inspiring. October Fall passes by so fast. Koby is busy with work and school and dating. We are struggling with coordinating three drivers and two cars, three jobs and way too many activities, so we decide to purchase a new car for Steve. We found Steve a nice Nissan car and Koby inherits the Elantra. The girls and I got to make a weekend trip to visit Papa and Grandpa on the farm. We made the annual trek to the pumpkin patch with cousins. Sadly, Dad and Koby had to stay home and work. The girls were so excited for Halloween and started planning their costumes early-like July early. Maylee decided to be a princess and a ballerina. She ended up with three costume changes. Morgan was a witch-green face and crazy ratted hair. They got plenty of candy and enjoyed dressing up numerous times for parties, parades and trick or treating. While Koby was out on a date, the rest of us got to go to Cornbelly's. It was a blast! I dragged everyone up into the mountains for a picnic and pictures. Just a few of my favorites. Stay tuned for part two...

Kitchen remodel

I decided to use my long Pioneer day weekend to repaint our kitchen cabinets. I used a Rustoleum kit and it made the process quite a bit easier. It did take about four days due to drying times and second coats. I love the final product! We also added handles and knobs. It was about $100 and lots of hours of labor but it made the kitchen look brand new and I LOVE it!

Maylee is hilarious

Maylee has been keeping us laughing again. Here a couple of the great things she has been saying that we don't want to forget. 1-Steve had taken her to the park and then he said, "We can't stay long. I don't want the misquitos to get us." Maylee replied, "I have already been misquitoed." "Mindy has the fregnancy." (Mindy is pregnant) Maylee and I were talking about it only being two more days until Koby would be coming home. Maylee pointed at a picture on the wall and said, "There is a picture of Koby. And Morgan. And me." I said, "yep, but where am I?" She said, "You aren't in the picture mom, you weren't born yet." Maylee has been playing with her Polly Pockets a lot lately. However, she likes to call them "Polly Pocks". What a funny funny girl!
