Happenings

Saturday Jake had his second basketball game (he played with a hurt ankle even). They won by 4 points, it was close.
Kaden had his last football game, they lost but rallied in the end so they didn't get blasted. Kaden almost caught a touch down pass, but it turns out that the boy on the other team stepped on his shoe and grabbed his shirt so he couldn't jump up and catch it. Funny! No pictures. I had the treats for the game so I was all worried about that. Next year Kaden will play tackle football....I will take pictures then. And I will take pictures of Jake at his game on Saturday.

Halloween decorations

Happy Halloween!
The entry way.

The porch!


The stairs.



Well I blogged about my Halloween decorations a few blogs ago and then we had computer problems so it won't let me add my pictures to that post. So I am adding them here!

Congrats Jake


Your season wasn't the best, but you played your best and we are proud of you!

Decorating and the end of football


Tuesday was Jakebs last game of the season against dreaded O'Leary. We thought we were going to get a beat down. But we rallied and the final score was 30 to 14. That is really good. Jakeb made a couple of great tackles that kept them from scoring so we were happy. The worst part was that we FROZE our butts off because it was so cold.

We then went to Gerties to celebrate and eat pizza. BIG mistake because they were having a huge football party so the pizza and service was sparse. What can ya do. Then we found out Jake has a real football party at Gerties on Tuesday night. Funny.

On the way home from Gerties I needed gas and Britt decided she needed some more Halloween Candy sticks (that apparently you can only buy at Walmart in Jerome). On our way to get gas the lady on the radio said she puts Halloween lights on her banister. So Britt and I got excited to give it a try. I decided to try and take a picture it turned out kind of fuzzy.

Perfect date!

Friday night was date night. Brad and I got to do a session at the Twin Falls Idaho Temple and then afterwards went to Applebees and had Hot Molten Lava Chocolate Cake and then came home and watched the BSU/Hawaii game -that Jake and Jordan recorded for us- with no commercials or breaks. They kicked Hawaii's behinds. It was the perfect date!

Saturday morning Jake had his first rec basketball game. They kicked butt! Jake did awesome and they won by like 20 points. His last football game is Tuesday against the unbeaten O'Leary Cubs. Heaven help us!

Sealings and engagements....oh my!

Well we had some family fun this weekend!
First Brittany took some family pictures of Brian and Cori (they turned out soooo cute) and Ryan and Autumn (also so cute).
Saturday evening Samara and Eddy got sealed in the Twin Falls temple. They were so cute. Sam's little baby bump is adorable. They are going to have a boy in March.
And since they got sealed their whole family was up (they live in Meridian and we don't get to see them often enough). The boys loved getting together - they always have the best time.
Samara and Eddie






AND Jenna and Nick announced their engagement!! We are happy for them both!
