Happy 15th Travis Jr.

Another year older - 15 years old, can you even believe it?? Trav turned 15 on December 8th. He had a game down in St. George - was 9 of 12 from the foul line...he ended up fouling out with 2 minutes to go
but what a way to celebrate the day. We went out to Sushi after his game..then to Walmart to pick out a gift with the gift card Nana and Papa sent...reminds me so much of his dad - great leader...so helpful - Still remember the day he was born - it was Christmas time...living in Elma....we were so grateful to have a son & the sweet spirit you always have brought into our home. Trav was asked by the varsity coach to travel with the varsity team to Nevada this weekend for a tournament...we love watching you grow...love when you pick Aiden up and hold him in your arms...Love ya Forever & thanks for BEING YOU!!

Giving Thanks...

"As we pause to thank Him for the blessings of the past year,
we must not forget to thank Him for the lessons we have learned through our difficult times.
We are not to be thankful for just the pleasant, easy things, but ALL things."
[Millie Stamm]

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving - my brother Luke and his family came for a week from Seattle and also had my brother Matt's kids from Las Vegas and St. George. My parents, Kelli and her crew and even had Marty(Brandon's brother) and 2 of his daughters join us for dinner this year. We are in deed grateful for every single one of our family members near and far away - we love the memories we are creating and treasure the Thanksgiving Holidays of days gone by. Lots to be thankful for....

Fall Fun...

Here is a picture of Tanner(11) and Kamrin(10) helping out with a game at Aiden's party. Can't believe Tanner will be passing the sacrament in a few months....I'm so, so, so, enjoying my boys. Love them so much:)

October to Novemebr...

Aiden turned 7 on Halloween. We had a party for him right after school. There is a old building here in Enterprise called"Heritage Hall" that they use for parties and such so we had it there. He invited a bunch of friends. Aiden is a lite in our lives. He is loved dearly by his older brothers and brings so much sunshine into our home. We are so glad he is ours. He was excited to go to Walmart and shop with the gift card that Nana and Papa Dougherty sent. It didn't take him long at all to find a BYU football helmet and jersey that came together as a set....love when you find just the perfect gift. Thank you Nana and Papa.

My parents moved to Enterprise a little over a month ago. They are preparing to serve a full-time mission & wanted to come spend sometime with all these grandkids- we are enjoying every second we have with them and treasure their goodness and love. The pictures below were of Trav's last HS football game as a freshman...he started basketball Monday and really is loving that.

After Aiden's party we went to my sister's house and went tricker-or- treating. Travis, Michael and Tanner all went to parties while Aiden & Kinley went for the candy. After the boys got home from their parties they busted out the wigs and dress-up clothes. Kinley wore my old clown suit and looked adorable. Aiden was "black" spiderman.

I had to snap a picture of Michael at the last HS football game. Some how he got the school camera and was able to be down on the field. Michael was asked this week to be the head manager for the Varsity HS Basketball team - he is excited to travel and be part of that experience.

We love this time of year to remember all the things we have to be grateful for ~ we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and hold all of the memories that we share with our loved ones close to our hearts.
