Sadies

The Wizard of Oz has been a favorite of Sierra's since she was two years old. It seemed perfect to go as Dorothy, the theme was Hollywood. She made just as cute Dorothy at 16 as she did at age 3 on Halloween! She had a good time with all her friends and thought it was hilarious that she hardly saw her date the whole night. She said the fun part was that everyone danced with everyone and just had a blast. Between Flowrider and the dance, she and her friends had sore bodies the next day.

I LOVE Sierra's happy personality!!

Banana splits at the end of the night :)

Seasons

I am grateful that there are four seasons. I think each one has something good about it, but change is always nice. If I had to choose one that I love the most... it would be Fall :) Too bad it doesn't last a little longer, it's getting dang cold!

My Car

I'm feeling grateful for my car today!! I had to park it for a couple days because of some problems it was having. I am so glad to have it back in business ;) I am in and out of my driveway at least 10 times a day running kids around so I am very,very happy to have a car to get us around.

The Big Game

Wahlquist made it to the championship game and played at Weber High. They all played so hard! After being tied in the fourth quarter, South Ogden Jr. pulled off the win. It was so sad to see the boys hang their heads and walk to the bus :( I think it's awesome that they made it all the way to the championship game.

Home

When I saw this saying, I thought about how true it is! I was raised in a home where I knew I was loved and I hope that my kids feel the same way about our home. At our home, you will be loved forever, for always, and no matter what! I am so grateful for our home...it's not new, in fact it's over one hundred years old, it's not big and fancy, but it's ours and we are very grateful for it :)

"That house was the perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or storytelling, or singing, or just a mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear, and sadness."

-JRR Tolkien

I hope our home is a place where family and friends always feel loved and welcome.

Freedom

I know I take for granted how blessed we are to be born in the United States of America. I am so grateful for the freedom we enjoy and for the brave men and women who fight for our country.

So grateful.....

I've been feeling so grateful for my many blessings and so I thought that November would be the perfect time to share some things that I am so very grateful for.

I feel like the luckiest person in the world to be the mother of these four awesome kids. They each are so different and unique. They are each amazing in their own way. I am so grateful to have a husband who helps out with everything, is hilarious, and would help anyone with anything. He has a huge heart and is a very hard worker. I don't think life gets better than this.
