Primary Program 2019

These sweet kids had their primary program today. 

All three memorized their parts and delivered them wonderfully.
They sang all the songs and the spirit was so very strong.
I may have shed a few happy tears during the program. 

After the program was over and the kids came back to our pew, I was giving them all hugs when Tucker told me that he saw me crying and asked me why. I told him they were happy tears and I was so proud of him and all his hard work.

I sure love these kids and their sweet testimonies. They each wrote their own parts for the program and it was so fun to hear their thoughts.
We are so proud of these babies. Love them to pieces. 

Our First Family Razorback Game

We had so much fun going to the Razorback football game yesterday. The Allreds very sweetly gave us five VIP tickets to the game and it was so fun. 

We started off our day at "Hog Town". It's basically a big tail-gating celebration. There were inflatables for the kids, games, food and Bailey even got to meet the razorback gymnastics team.
She loves gymnastics so she was thrilled to meet them. 

Here is Bailey getting the Razorbacks gynmastic team's signatures. 

We loved it and after we finished playing we walked over to the stadium to find our seats for the game. 

I love seeing my kids all decked out in Razorback red. It makes me so happy. 

Even though the Razorbacks lost and it was a rough game, we still had a great time. 

Love this girl of mine so much. She was so cute with her little razorback sticker on her cheek. 

Benson was so cute. He loved calling the hogs. 

We had so much fun together cheering for our loosing hogs. 

We are so grateful to the Allreds for getting us those awesome tickets. We've been wanting to go to a game for years but its so expensive. It was so nice to get to go without having to worry about the cost. 

Such a fun morning in Fayetteville. Wooo Pig Sooie!

May the Force be With you this Halloween

If anyone needed the force with them, it was me trying to wrangle my kids for a group picture in our costumes. It was not simple or easy but we eventually got one.

Benson did not make the job easy but I'm more stubborn then he was.

Here are a few pics we managed. 

I love our costumes this year. We are such star wars geeks so this as perfect. 

The kids really loved the theme this year.

Benson told everyone that he wasn't "Yoda" he was a green puppy. We let him think that, but in reality he was the cutest Yoda ever.

Of course we had to get one of Vader and Luke dueling. 

Tucker loved being Darth Vader. He was so happy with his costume. 

 

 

 

Tanner also loved his costume. He loves all the little details that make a costume realistic. He was thrilled when I helped him put on the leg wraps, belt attachments and connector piece for his light saber, so it could hang from his waist.

 

 

He looked so handsome. Love this boy!

 

Bailey loved her Princess Leia costume. Since we cut her hair before our cruise, it was a little short for the classic "Leia buns", but we made it work. 

  

 

Then I had to snag a picture of the "Leia" and "Luke".

This was kind of perfect because they are so close in size and look so similar. 

 

Chris was such a handsome "Han Solo". 

 

 

And I was his trusty sidekick "Chewbacca". I tried to make Chewy cute, but it was difficult considering he's a furry giant. 

 

And here are a couple of us together. 

Love this guy so much!

After leaving the kids' class parties at school, we drove over to Dad's office to "Trunk or Treat" and the kids had so much fun. 

Then we had a little Halloween feast. We served all the spooky foods. 

After eating dinner, Chris took the kids' trick or treating around the neighborhood while I stayed home. I wasn't feeling great. So The kiddos and Chris met up with the Drake cousins and trick- or-treated our neighborhood. They had a great time.

We had a fantastic Halloween. I'm very much looking forward to November and a hopefully bit more quiet time.
