Hats Off!













December Gals know how to celebrate! Kimmy and I celebrated our birthdays together with a Hat Party! I turned the big 3-0 so I wanted a big bash and that's what I got! It was so wonderful to have a ton of friends and family together. We laughed at all of our different "hattitudes" and had a great night. Thanks to all who could make it in on the fun!

Still Makin' Each Other Laugh






Bryce surprised me with a fun night spent together to celebrate our 13th anniversary. We enjoyed walking around the Mission Inn and checking out all of the lights. We had a wonderful dinner together and then walked it off by browsing through antique shops downtown. We had fun making each other laugh. I think that laughter has been the key to our marriage and that's just the way we like it! Happy Anniversary Babe. Here's to many more!

Family Gatherings






We are ThANkFuL for Family! We were blessed with a very special Thanksgiving Blessing this year. Bryce's uncle Frank was diagnosed with cancer and the family took the opportunity to rally around him with love. It was so wonderful to see all of our family. Uncle Frank will be missed, but his love and legacy is carried on through his family. In times like this we realize that through it all, family is what matters most.

Strike!




We hung out with our GIRL cousins over Thanksgiving break. It was great to even out the vote in the house. Loved our bowling night. Breven and Emma made us laugh so hard.

Scouts


Here are two out of three of our scouts. Brad has worked so hard to become an Eagle Scout. He is getting closer. At this recognition night he advanced to the rank of "star" scout.

More Desert Fun








Bruce and Kim decided to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in the desert with all their kids and grandkids. We circled the wagons and had so much fun riding quads, going for jeep rides and of course shooting! We even got to visit our Blythe fam too!

Halloween Fun

We had a great time at our annual Trunk or Treat! Breven was a bow shooter complete with arrows of course. Bryce and I broke out our Groovy 70's threads. Boy are we glad we were born in this generation. Our nephews came along for the fun too. Cooper even won most original for his plate o' spaghetti costume. Yes, Brad won too with his kissing booth costume. The scariest part of the night.......It was HIS idea AND he made lots of money! Oh no.....we are in for trouble!

Weeeeee!



Weeeeeee loooooove Disneyland Days!

The Finisher!





Brad ran x-country again this year. He is so fun to watch. He gives it his all. I love to watch him cross the finish line because he always seems to "dig deep" and finish strong! So proud of you Brad.

River Rats





We spent Labor Day at the River of course. Good friends, good fishin'! Can't beat that!

Run Breven, Run!





Breven entered his first 5K! He did such a great job with a time of 27:02 coming in first place of all the elementary schools that were in the race! Way to Go! He had a fan club along the route as well. After the race he made sure to get his carbo load on!

First Day of School





Mom, really????? Do you still have to take our picture on the first day of school? The answer.....YES! Where does the time go? Brad is in 7th grade and Breven in 3rd. Getting their bikes ready to ride to school was a first. Breathe mom, they're growing up you know.

Last Day of Summer Fun




One last day of play. We will miss you summertime!
