1ST PLACE TURKEY TRUSSLE CHAMPION!

November 25, 2017

Boston has been working so hard and looking so forward to this WRESTLING TOURNAMENT. There were hundreds of boys participating in the TURKEY TRUSSLE. I tell ya, it was pretty dang stressful watching him, especially when he WON by 1 point in his first match. My stomach was killing! I felt wiped out after that match.

He went into BEAST MODE and ended up winning 1ST PLACE! He was so excited that he won a new SINGLET that says CHAMPION on it that he can wear to his other tournaments.

I am really proud of BOSTON. He practices all the time and he loves it so much!





Boston lifted this kid up and slammed him down. I couldn't believe how strong he is!





Emmett (Boston's cousin took 2nd place in his weight division), Boston took 1st and Waylon is so freaking funny! He is showing us his muscles but zoom in on his face. That kid cracks me up!

Way to go BOSTON! You are the TURKEY TRUSSLE CHAMPION!


COCO THE MOVIE WITH THE BOYS

November 24, 2017

I took the boys to see COCO at Farmington Station instead of doing Black Friday Shopping. It was SO CUTE! I loved it and boy, did I cry! I am such a big baby! The boys loved it too. Waylon was so happy there were skeletons in it. He said, Grandma, I love this Halloween movie!

We had POPCORN, LICORICE and Waylon loves MIKE AND IKE'S. I snuck in some Coke Zero's and although the boys don't get to drink stuff like this, they did today! And they loved it!



I love my SPECIAL DATES with these little DUDES!

THANKSGIVING 2017!

November 23, 2017

THANKSGIVING was held at Stefanie and John's this year. I'm so glad they moved back to Utah and that they have a big house to host our family parties! This was the year my kids go to their In-laws homes so I didn't have them this year. I missed them!

We had so much nummy food and it was all so DELICIOUS! I usually don't over STUFF myself on THANKSGIVING but this year was different. For hours I felt STUFFED! It was so great to spend this day with my FAMILY. I'm most THANKFUL for them. I love them all so much!

I feel so grateful for the BOUNTY of FOOD that we get to enjoy and for the BOUNTY of BLESSINGS in every aspect of our lives that we have been given so generously.

Steven turned 60 YRS OLD! I cannot believe it! My big brother is getting old. He loves BOWLING and so I invited everyone to BOONDOCKS for a BOWLING PARTY for Steven. We had a lot of fun! He was so happy. We had CAKE and he couldn't have been more pleased. What a fun night!

Logan had fun bowling!

 Mona kept getting "9's"!


 Joyce was on fire. She started bowling left handed and she kept getting STRIKES AND SPARES every time!
