Happy Birthday to my dad and my Brother!!

Hello! I just wanted to write a quick blog tonight about my dad and brother Chris. Today is there birthday. I talked with my brother Chris this morning and wish him a happy birthday. Hard to believe you are 44!!! Wow..we are getting old! I sure miss you. I haven't seen Chris since the last time I was in Calif. which was when Hannah was a newborn. I sure am grateful for an older brother. I just wish we lived closer so our children could know each other.

Now my dad. They share the same birthday of course. My dad passed away 18 yrs ago almost 19 but he has now been gone as long as I was with him on earth. It is hard to believe!! He hasn't seen me as an adult or married or a mother! I remembered before he died he always wish he would have been able to have been around his grandchildren since none of his kids yet were married,but it is really nice to know that he is with one. My Alyssa. I pray that she is teaching him the gospel and all she knows about it. I pray that he will accept it too. Also, I hope my dad is telling Alyssa about me. I am grateful for the gospel and knowing we will all be together again one day!! I love you dad happy birthday!!

Twilight Weekend!!

Sat was a fun full day!! First we started out by going to Hannah's last soccer game. She is a pretty good soccer player pretty good kicker actually. She got one goal. It was pretty cute when she was kicking the ball back and fourth when she first got there she kept saying she was getting a goal and then blowing me a kiss. Then When she was actually playing the game and kicked it in the goal She was jumping up and down and blowing sweet kisses so who knows even if she knew what she really new was a goal but she sure had fun. She loved being on Team Well's team but the last game she needed to be on was Team Jolley and did great and had fun being on both!! Thanks for Michelle and Heather for putting the soccer league together Hannah will look forward into playing next year!! After they were done they got the cutest awards and medals.

Afterwords, we left and Kristen, Tammie and I went to see Twilight!!It was great! I am so glad we went in the afternoon. It was crowded but not to bad. I went in with low expectations and I really enjoyed it. I did nitpick on somethings but again I was so happy I went and saw it like Heather says, it was worth the 10$ you spend it on it.

Then later that night Chris and I went on a date. It was so nice. We hadn't been on a date in awhile so it was a blessing to go out. I am grateful for a $1 movie theater around here since I spent money earlier on Twilight. We enjoyed the movie Journey to the center of the Earth. It was a fun movie if you have younger kids who don't get scared they would enjoy the movie!!

Super Star!!

Hello, I was excited for Hannah today. She got the Super Star in class award. She got it for her ability to solve tricky words in reading. I am really proud of her. It is nice to know she is good in school. She was able to also take a classmate to the office because her mom was there to pick her up early then she got to walk back by herself! She was so excited to do all that. I am really proud of her and how well she is doing in school. Tonight with me she read "Green Eggs and Ham" all by herself! She really has learned to love to read. I am glad because reading is one of my favorite things to do to. Hannah's teacher seems to be a great one and I am so grateful for that and she has the patients for Hannah and her excitment about Life and Learning! Which is a great quality of Hannah's. I am proud of you Hannah. Congrats! Love you!!

Halloween & Tiger World






Hello, this past Friday as we all know was Halloween. I have always loved this time of the year especially here in N.C the trees have changed color and everyone is happy and in a great mood because the holiday's are around the corner. Every year since we have known the Wheelock's we go trick or treating with them. It use to be our old neighborhood so we know a few families still in there so it is fun. Hannah was Tinkerbell this year. She is really into her this year with the new Tinkerbell movie but she wanted to be here before that has come out. Maybe Santa will bring it to her we tell her all the time. We had a great time trick or treating even if it was 29 degrees that night!!

Then on Sat. we went to Tiger World here in Salisbury, NC. They have Tigers White Bangle and regular Tigers and Monkey's and Brown Bear's Bobcat's, and Lion's. It wasn't a huge zoo but it was nice and Hannah, Chris and I have always enjoyed Zoo as a family.

Also today is Election day. My mom put the patriotic in me to always go out and VOTE!! I was am grateful for early voting this year again it is suppose to be record turn out's with lines very long. Last election I know I had a wait awhile so that is why, I did it early so I didn't have to wait again this time. I am grateful for this country that I have the right to my opinion and vote!! I hope everyone has taken that chance to vote!
