Chicken Pox for Christmas!

We were able to attend Kylie's very first dance recital this month. I was so excited for her and she was so excited to be able to dance on the stage. They danced to a song called "I got the Chicken Pox for Christmas." She did an amazing job! She remembered all of her dance moves and was as cute as could be. There is something about watching your own child perform. I was so proud of her that I had to try really hard not to cry. She loved every minute of it and loved to watch the older girls perform. She hopes to be one of those older girls one day.

We brought her flowers for her amazing performance.

Proud momma with her little ballerina.

Halloween- 2010

Corbin was a crazy BYU fan this year. He wasn't really that into it this year. He could care less what he is dressed as, as long as he gets the candy.
Kylie was a witch. She settled for a witch when I couldn't find a Strawberry Shortcake costume. That is what she really wanted. She was an adorable witch.

Kylie starts Preschool

Kylie started a new preschool this year. We enrolled her in the West Jordan High School's preschool. This is where the high school students teach the preschool. Each high school student is paired up with a preschooler and they become buddies. I have never seen Kylie so excited to go somewhere as she is on preschool days. She really enjoys it.

Playoffs and Championship- 2010

With all their hard work through the regular season, Corbin's team earned a spot in the playoffs. They went up against Woods Cross. It was an exciting game but we were able to come out with the win! That helped us advance to the Championship game.

We went into the championship game playing an undefeated Stansbury team. We had played them in regular season and they beat us by 6 points. We were so excited and pumped up to play them again. This time didn't go as planned. We ended up losing with a final score of 20-0. That team had an amazing defense and they were able to hold us the whole game.
We walked away with our heads held high. We played a great game and we were very happy with how far we had made it. Way to go West Jordan Gremlin black team!! You guys rock!

2010 Football Season (Carson)

Carson's football season couldn't end soon enough. We had a rough season with his team, between coaching and losing it was just not a fun year.
I was proud of him for sticking it out. He never knew what position he was going to play. It was different every game and every practice. I was so frustrated this year that I actually yelled at a coach. It's hard to see a coach ruin a sport that your kid loves and make it so they never want to play again. Carson ended his season with a 1 and 8 record. So sad, but we still love him.

He picked number 17 because that is Austin Collie's number. What a great choice!

2010 Football Season (Corbin)

Corbin's team did amazing this year! He got put on a great team with an awesome coach. Corbin played tackle on the line. He was an X man. He did a fantastic job this year. He never came out of the game. He played offense and defense. He was a big part of the team. He was also a team captain!
He was so fun to watch this year. We looked forward to going to his games.

They finished their regular season with a 7 and 2 record. We were sooooo Proud of them!
Go Jags!

Corbin's 10th Birthday

We also had Corbin's birthday in September. He turned 10 this year. It was a very low key birthday. We had cake and ice cream and then took him to a movie and dinner. Grandma and Grandpa Neal were able to be here this year and they came along with us.

Star Wars cake.

His presents were a remote control Millennium Falcon and two Nerf guns. It may have been low key but I think he was happy.

Mom's 60th Birthday

So this past September my mom turned the big 60! My dad attempted to throw a surprise party for her but that was ruined early on. We ended up having the party anyway. She had her best friend from high school show up to her 60th birthday.

My dad asked me to make her a cake. I wasn't thrilled with it but it turned out OK.

My wonderful mom doesn't look a day over 40. I hope I look as good as she does when I turn 60. We also had a slide show from pictures all throughout her life and shared memories that we had about her. It turned out to be a great night. She is amazing and I hope she lives another 60 years!
