Christmas is here!

The kids have been bugging us to put up the Christmas lights and Tree. We usually wait until after Thanksgiving but this year we were a couple days before. We Decorated the tree and put up the lights on the house.
Christmas time is a wonderful season I can see why the kids can't wait. Here is a picture of the kids with their festive hats... we are so lucky! Bridger is so cute, he keeps showing us which stocking is his.

Birthday Dinner

Monday the 17th we went out to PF Chang's for my Mom's Birthday. The dinner was great and everyone had a good night out without the kids. Best of all, it was a surprise, my mom didn't know it was happening until she got to the restaurant.
Happy Brithday Mom! Love you, Jill
Check out the fun pictures (Brandon's not in the picture because he's taking it)

McCall... Happy Birthday Chris!

This past weekend we went to McCall to surprise my Brother-in-law Chris for his birthday. His wife Shauna planned everything and I wish I had a shot of his face when he opened the door and saw us. The cabin was right on the lake and had a wonderful view right out the back door.
The dinner was awesome, and the kids favorite part they said was when they went ice skating with their cousins.
Overall it was a great weekend, Thanks Chris and Shauna for the great weekend. (and a Happy Birthday Chris or should I say... Ska-doosh!)

Bridger is a big boy!

Believe it or not, Bridger has lost his binki! It is 3 weeks today that he has gone with out his precious binki, so far so good, we've only had some late night episodes of binki withdrawal, but we think he is over it.
Ever since the binki disappeared another important thing disappeared also, can you guess what that is? His daily nap. I was re-thinking my decision after a week but I'm sure it's for the best. Love you lots Bridger!

Happy Halloween

Here they are all dressed looking scary and cute all at the same time.
We went to some friends house for a hay ride and trick-or-treating.
We couldn't have asked for nicer weather.

While trick-or-treating we came across a haunted-house.
Mason was scared, so Keaton held his hand!

Keaton's Fall Soccer

We had Keaton's end of the season soccer party tonight! He had a really fun season playing. As you can see from his facial expressions in the pictures he is having an awesome time. He is such a joy and cracks us up everytime we watch him play.
Nice job Keaton! My little lefty!
For being the youngest on his team he is doing pretty good, he can run with the best of them. Not to mention he loves me to take his picture.

Mason's Football, (yep you read that right, Football not Soccer)

This year Mason being the all around kid that he is wanted to try out football instead of soccer. This was a little shock to us since he has played soccer since he was 4 years old. We are so proud of his effort that he put forth in his football season this year. He practiced 5 days a week for 2 and a half hours each day, especially with the grueling conditioning drills at the end of practice. He even got the chance to use his big soccer foot to be the teams kicker.

Brooklyn's Soccer Fall 2008

My baby girl is growing up and getting to be quite the good little soccer player. She joined a competitive team this year and is experiencing some good games. Especially since her team is playing against teams a year older than hers. The fall season is almost over (last game on Saturday) and then she'll play indoor league.
My does time fly.

Reba and Kelly Concert

Mom's night out! My sister Becky scored some sweet tickets to the Reba and Kelly concert last thursday down at BSU. The seats were facing the stage straight-on and the music sounded great. I wasn't quite sure how they were going to mix country and rock music in a concert but it turned out awesome. Thanks Becky for the night out I had a blast.

Fishin' with Grandpa!

Keaton,Bridger and I all went fishing with my Dad (Papa Pickett) last week.
Mason and Brooklyn then went with him thursday and friday.
One thing is for sure it is always an adventure taking little ones fishing.
I even caught a couple fish, I forgot how fun that is.... we then had a fish fry with the trout that was caught...yum... I love the way my Dad cooks it up.
