Babysitting, 2 trips to SLC, Halloween, & Basketball. What more can you fit in a week. Plenty, because we did just that...

Monday was an eventful day as I started watching a brand new baby. "Lila" What a sweet little girl. I had been talking to my friend and she was telling me all of the mortifying things that has happened to her over the last few years that she has watched kids and I was thinking, "What in the world am I getting myself into." but on the other hand I was also thinking, it is only one day! I can handle anything for one day a week. Then she came to the house. Crying for the first thirty minutes or so because I just wasn't holding her right, or feeding her her bottle right. I felt like it had been forever since I had held a baby and then I was really thinking, "What in the world am I doing?" I finally was able to get her to calm down enough to eat and then burp, and then it seemed like everything was alright. She looked up at Graci and I and grinned and we knew that we could handle this. She is a sweet little baby and we can't wait to have her again on Monday.

The middle of the week was filled with the girls basketball games, piano lessons, haircuts, Achievement Days, Basketball and Football practices, and Books and Magazines, and not to forget the dang paper route. Thursday, Torrey, Graci, and I traveled to Salt Lake which I had a Dr. Appointment. It is always a relief when I am finished. I always pray that this is not going to be the day that changes my life Forever. I am so grateful that everything was good. Torrey and I started reflecting back on just how blessed that we have been with Good Health and five Healthy Pregnancies and now Five Ever Growing Children. We are so Grateful for them and the blessings that they are in our lives. We finished some shopping for my craft bazaar in November.


Friday was filled with Haunting and Ghostly Activities. This is a picture of the mummies I made for Hannah's class, made out of Twinkies. (I know, not the healthies but we were going for "Haunting, not healthy" Hannah thought that they were awesome! At least I scored one with her. That is what is important right? Here are some pictures of our Lawyer, Pirate, and Little Princess.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
After the TRUNK OR TREAT, we went to the wolves first playoff game. Riley had been picked to be on the playoff Varsity team so that was exciting. He worked those side lines well. Go RILEY!! Hopefully he will be able to get into the game for a few plays at least but if not, we are so proud of you and your football season. You did put your heart into it and played very well.

Saturday morning was filled with Layton's Basketball games. The season is underway. I am so excited! I love to watch basketball.
Layton had his work cut out for him all day. Both Lander and Riverton had very tall boys but he did pretty good using his body to keep them out. We will get them next time. It was still fun to watch.
After a day filled with Basketball and Torrey working, we all jumped in the car and headed back to Utah for my Niece, Ashley and her new husband Jaime Snyder's open house. They were married in Hawaii in August. It was fun to see them and to meet Jaime and his Family. Most of my Family was there and it was good to see them. It has definately been awhile. We were able to finally make it home at about 2:00 in the morning.
Needless to say, Church came very early this morning but what an awesome day. Riley was ordained a priest today and was given an awesome blessing by his Dad. I am so proud of him and the good kid that he is. Thank You Torrey for being the great husband and Father that you are. Your boys definately have an awesome example to look up to and follow. I sure do Love you and appreciate all that you do for me and our Family.
