Bentley is TWO !!

Peek a boo behind the balloon.  Bentley is TWO.  
Sweet Bex in front. 

She and Roger played with her new toy for about 20 minutes straight.  She is very detail oriented, and Landon says she will play with an interesting toy for quite some time.   Love you sweet girl :)

She looks a little tired, she's had a big day. 

Payson's teeth are sure straightening up with his braces.  He showed me his math homework, and I can already tell he's going to be a MATH WHIZ.   Just like Grandpa D, Erika, and Brian.  Go Payson !! 

Bright is a Light.  We sure love her.

Utah !! - Bright's 4th grade program

We were able to travel to Kanesville Elementary on November 20th to see the entire 4th grade class performance to celebrate UTAH !  Can you spot Bright?  She's a pioneer with a bonnet, dark print, white apron. She's looking at the camera. 

She was able to borrow the dress from Mary Jane Phillips, one of Grandma Carol's neighbors.  She looked so great, and did SUCH a good job on in part in the program.

Thanksgiving 2023

Pretty low key in AZ, just a little family dinner at home (Therese and Elle, and Lee and Penny came for the day)  Also a walk to the park was included.  Love this pic !  Beautiful boy, Beautiful colors. 

This made me SMILE.  Treyson is always so careful about what he eats, always balancing proteins and carbs, etc.  Today he said he was going to EVERYTHING, and HE DID !!  Love him !! 

The expecting parents :)
Colton and Ashley
We showered her with gifts for the baby since we won't be able to be there on Saturday for the real shower. 

Craft after dinner - thanks Sherilee ! 

We love hosting the dinner. We are a great team.

Big Boy Wrestling starts

Both Treyson and Tagg were wrestling Varsity for the first match. 

New head coach - Kelly Wilson

Brothers

 

Treyson didn't have a match at 215, but click here for Tagg's match.  Didn't turn out like he would have liked it, but every match is a learning, growing experience, sometimes more with the ones you lose ! 

Drum Concert

Thatch has been taking drum lessons for a few years

From this guy right here - Marv Reynolds

They had a recital? concert? and even though we found out about it last minute, we were all able to go and support him and the other drummers at the Porterville Church.  It was kind of fun because alot of them were in our ward, and we know them.  Also, my friend from the courthouse, Penny Butler's son was a drummer also. It was good to see her there. 

He did such a great job !

He works hard at it - you can tell !

Sleepover and fun day after

Oh what a fun time we had laughing over this picture.  If you were able to zoom in, you would see a drop of Pepsi......dribbling down her chin (haha) 

The TWO Amigos

Oh I love this girl :)  She's growing up so so fast. 

Zac came over to get Thatcher, so he could sleep at home.  He had school the next day, and needed to go to keep his grades up. 

Such the side eye !! Love you Bex :)

We painted nails.  This girlie is a PRO 

We had a list of fun things to do

Next day, I let the kids skip school, and we put up the Christmas tree  - no pics !? :(     Then we took the stuffed elephant with the Santa Hat up to Tenzin's grave. 

Headed to Classic Fun Center in Roy 

Payson won BIG on the basketball machine, and he shared his winnings with his sisters, what a GREAT SWEET brother. 

Crazy !!! 

We had such a good time, before heading back to Morgan for grilled cheese and tomato soup, then on to Kaley's house for a sleepover before she took them to Ogden.  Landon and Kacey had been in Key West Florida on a short vacation, and they got home early the next morning.
