Extra Fun

During the Dee's funeral we had 10 extra family

members stay with us for the weekend.

This was the youngest one that stayed the

weekend, baby Dixie.

This is Brittany's youngest of 4 children.

It was fun having so many family members 

stay over for the weekend.

 School Fall Festival Fun!

 I watched the Kemple Kids for the weekend.

3 extra kids made it 10 kids. 

 Jane loves tomatoes. Milkshake mustaches during FHE.

They said they tried and tried to get her to smile,

but this was the expression she kept giving them.

"My name is Clark. I am 6 years old.

I like to play games. I can ride a bike.

I love my mom."

 We hiked the mountain at the park

near my house for Cub Scouts. 

This was the 1st time I hiked it.

Floating Lanterns

My mom and Jim invited Hanna to go with them 

to send off floating lanterns last Friday night.

 Hanna sent hers off in honor of her Grandma Dee Dee ❤️.

Grandma Susan and Hanna.

What an awesome experience she had!

Hanna's Hero Speech about her Grandma Susan.

Star Student

Clark was picked to be the Star Student

for the week! Which means he got to 

bring Bubbles home and take him

every where he went!

He was one happy boy!

 He even shared his pizza with Bubbles.

He took him to his soccer game

and introduced him to a lot of friends.

 Even his cousins from AZ got to meet him.

Bubbles slept with Clark and helped him with his homework.

Misc.

Knox and Ella visited us from AZ.

 It's cold, but they don't care.

 Daisy's enjoying volleyball.

We are Vegas Strong!

Remembering the victims.

Jane tried out dance class, but we decided to wait one more year. 

Witches Tea

Kelli is the most talented hostess ever!

The set up and detail is just amazing!

She puts in so much talent and work

every year, all for us Witches!

Our fancy dinner in a box.

This is the Amazing Witch Kelli

who knows how to throw a party!

 That's a lot of Witches!

 Appetizers...

We learned a dance this year.

I'm even participating, trying to hide out in the back.

So much fun!

Dorothy Dean Reade

Dee passed away early this morning. We were blessed with the opportunity to have her live with us last year. I will be forever grateful to her for raising such an amazing son that I get to call my husband. I feel peace knowing that she’s out of pain and in a much happier place. This past month every time we’ve been visiting her, before leaving we would sing a children’s hymn. I’m grateful we had the opportunity just this past Sunday to visit with her and sing to her as a family. We love you Dee.

I'm grateful for the knowledge of the Plan of Salvation.

I know we will see Dee again.

Families Are Forever. 

Happy 17th Anniversary to Us!

I surprised Danny with this fun car for the day.

We went to the Steak House inside Circus Circus for dinner. 

Drove on the strip. Went to lunch and saw a movie.

Came home early, because we were tired.

Deacon/Beehive Dance

This was Hanna's 2nd year attending this dance.

Here is a few of  her friends before the dance.

 Afterwards they played games and ate ice cream sundaes at Ryder's house.

Love when my kids are social, especially this one!

Max Was Jumped

Max and his friend were jumped, there was no reason for this to have happened to them! The kids that jumped them even videotaped it and it made me cry when I watched it (there were like 8 of them to basically 2). The worse part about it is these kids go to their school.

Not a phone call I had ever expected to get from my 6’4” 200 lb. 15 year old.
“Mom, I’ve been jumped” with a shaken up son on the other line 😢.
Max’s friend was jumped first (sucker punched super hard in the back of the head) and Max stepped in to try and stop the entire thing, which then led to him getting sucker punched in the mouth and face. He’s okay now. And after getting lots of concerned texts from a few girls Max jokingly said, “I’m getting text from all these girls, I should get punched in the face more often”
