Great is Eight(y)

Brian's grandma turned 80 years old today. She didn't want a bug fuss, so hopefully she won't be too mad that I put up a post about her. Charmaine is fantastic. She is a super grandma and great grandma. She makes a special cookie for each grandchild and is a terrific cook (everyone gains at least 5 pounds with each visit). My girls adore her and we are so glad we got to help her celebrate her big day! Happy birthday Great!

Halloween

We had a super fun Halloween. We went to our ward's Trunk or Treat on Thursday and then went to St George for the holiday weekend. We had lots of fun. Leah was a Wildcat cheerleader, Annie was a chef (I decided that one, but it was so cute, I couldn't pass it up), and Lucy was a bumblebee.

Pumpkins

Our girls decided that they wanted to paint their pumpkins instead of carve them, so that is what we did.

Snow College Homecoming

My girls and I met my mom and my niece in Ephraim last weekend to celebrate Snow College's Homecoming. I planned a little reunion for the student officers from my year, so we got to be part of a small town for a couple days. It was fantastic. It was fun to be back in San Pete County. We ate dinner at Fat Jack's Pizza (now called Roy's Pizza), and we went to the pararde and of course, the big game where the Badgers won big time. The reunion was all about good times and I am now an official member of the Snow College Alumni Association. I would love to go there and live, so we will see what happens.

Roadshow

For the past 8 weeks, the youth have been preparing to put on a roadshow. It was somewhat of a daunting task, but we managed to pull it together and the kids delivered stellar performances two nights in a row. The first night there were "celebrity judges" and we were given an A+ for our perfomance. I have loved being a part of this experience and I will always be one who loves roadshows. Our show had an 80's theme, so we embraced the opportunity to get out the 80's garb. Briab was in the band and he totally embraced his part.

Happy Birthday Lucy!

It is official, Lucy is one. Her birthday was yesterday, but we have been celebrating for a few days. She has such a funny little personality and we are so glad she is a part of our lives. She can stand up all by herself, so steps are probably not far away. She loves to sing and play with her sisters. She has multiple faces that she likes to pull. Happy Birthday Lucy, we love you lots!

Half-time show

On Saturday night, Leah and Annie had the opportunity to perform at half-time for the UNLV vs BYU football game. Over 500 dancers, cheerleaders, and gymnasts performed. It was a special performance for breast cancer awareness. The Magic gymnastics team was right in the center of the field. Leah and Annie did somersaults and cartwheels across the 50 yard line for their part of the performance. They did a fantastic job and it was super fun to see them out on the field.
