C-HOUSE!!

Austin received his trophy's and awards for football last night. He was so excited. The coaches took the kids to Boondocks for the day and then had a dinner with the awards. The coaches and wives did such a great job putting everything together. One mom put together a video of the season for the boys to watch and then gave them each their own copy. Another mom has a nice sewing machine and stitched the boys' names and uniform numbers on a beanie for them. Another mom put together t-shirts that said " We bust ours so we can kick yours! C-House!" They were so generous. Austin had a great first season of football and learned so much. We can't wait for next year to see him play again! We are so proud of you Austin! C-House is what the boy's would chant as they would warm up for practice. It was a lot of work to get Austin to practice 3 times a week and then a game on Saturday's. He had a blast and that's all that matters.

Here are some pictures of Austin receiving his trophy's and all the other stuff they gave to him

New Moon!

Thursday night I went to see the Midnight showing of New Moon with Sarah, Michelle and most of Sarah's sisters and family. It was a lot of fun! Nellie went to Burger King and got these crowns with Bella, Edward and Jacob on them so of course we had to wear them for the photo's!

I had a really good time. I am not planning on seeing another midnight showing ever again though. It was way too late for this old lady! I kept dosing off and I missed more of the movie than I thought! Good thing I went on Friday night at a 7:30 showing and I could stay awake to see what I missed. It was so much better than the first movie. Good action and some good abs! Ha ha ha! Thanks Sarah for the tickets! Can't wait to see Eclipse with ya!

Turkey Trot 5K

We ran the Turkey Trot at the fitness center on Saturday. It was cold and fun all at the same time! I ran with Michelle and Kerri. I didn't even bother to try and keep up with Shannon because she is too fast for me! Michelle took off ahead of me because I couldn't run any further. Thank heavens for Kerri to run/walk with me. We finished the race running and that's all that matters! Austin came back to find me and encourage me to run to the finish line. What a good boy!

Jason came in 3rd place in his age group running it in 23:41 and Austin finished first in his age group running in at 30:08. I'm so proud of my boy's! Way to go!! More pictures to follow when I can borrow Michelle's memory card. I want to show you the boy's getting their awards!

Zoo Day with Ethan

Last week we went to the zoo with Karlee's friend Ethan from her preschool class. We had a lot of fun even though I didn't feel the best. We got to see the new baby elephant. Too cute!

We got to see the baby giraffe as well.

One of the older giraffe's was really close and eating leaves out of Karlee's hand. It was really cool. I've never seen an animal so close up before here at the zoo!

Who couldn't love this face?!?

Gotta love the tigers. Too bad they are never awake when we go to see them. I have yet to see the baby tiger cubs.

A ride on the good ol' train! It was a perfect day to go. The weather was fantastic! We couldn't have timed it more perfectly to go there.

Halloween at the Lingwall's and Trick or Treat time!
