Future Sun Devils

Jaden got to play Chase and Brycen's team last week. They were so excited to "VS." each other. It is was so much fun to watch them play. Dar told J if he sacked the quaterback (chase) he'd pay him $10.00!!! He was so pumped about it and was totally in the zone the whole week before the game. No QB tackle, but a really awesome dive trying. They love THE GAME and are the cutest players around!

Homemade Love

This year for my birthday the kiddos really made my day by making me all sorts of lovely little gifts. Allie made me this beautiful necklace that is so colorful and goes with everything! Then the whole gang got together and made a lego extravaganza. They know it's my DREAM to go to New York City someday and so they brought NYC to me. Below is the lego sculpture of the Statue of Liberty, a little boat in the water (probably near the statue I presume), a pogo stick(??), and a hotel (probably where we will stay when all my dreams come true.) It made my day the absolute BEST!!! I LOVE you guys tons and tons!

Happy 29th, from your 110lb. Friend!

Mom,

I hope you have a wonderful day!

I hope you know how much you are loved!

I hope all your dental dreams come true ( no bleeding gums)

I hope you and "Santa" here get to Olive Garden sometime today.

AND

I hope you have a HAPPY Birthday!

I love you Mama!!!!

Attack of the Harley Davidson

It was a beautiful Labor Day night. We were engaging in a lazy FHE...UNO! The game was going great. Graham had got out first and was feeling really proud of himself, when all of the sudden the house was attack by something I thought was a home invasion. Darren ran outside to "protect" the family but was taking too long to come back to "save" us. So we went out to find him and instead found the neighborhood in our yard and a Harley laying on the porch. We got lucky. The damage was very minimal, just some scraches and chippped paint, and my family was safe! There's always something exciting here at the Lovin Pad!

Go Utes!

* Not feeling like reading because I'm ticked and the morning is CRAP.

* Read anyway

* Moroni 9:6

And now, my beloved son, notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease to labor, we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all righteouness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God.

* Really, Really glad I read anyway!
