We woke up this morning to a nice surprise....or maybe not. It was snowing and pretty hard. I must have had about 6 inches all over my car. The kids loved it and started singing Christmas songs. I had to remind them that we haven't even got to Halloween yet. Anyway, I don't know if I am ready for real weather!
Poor Elijah waiting at his bus stop!
PS It's now 10:16 P.M. and still snowing!
What an exciting week. Elijah's team took second place in a big soccer tournament. He got his first medal here in town. Teams came from place over a 100 miles away...it was huge, there were three participating teams....Just Kidding!
Ethan earned his Bear Badge in Cub Scouts, and we didn't wait till the night before his 10th birthday.....woohoo for me!
We found out that we have heated tiles in our bathroom, or at least that is what James kept telling me, it turned out to be a broken hot water pipe. We had a flood underneath our house. It will be awhile before we get that side of the house back in order....Good thing my parents aren't here this week, we have moved into their room.
James got bit by a spider on his hand. He swore it was a Brown Recluse. Some old Navajo lady came into his work and with some spit, tobacco, and charcoal, put some goop on his hand and the swelling went away. His hand looked like it was Shrek's, it was huge, hot, and swollen....GROSS!
Definitely the best part of the week was going to my niece's baptism. What a sweet little girl. Her and Olivia just love each other.
I have been thinking a ton about my sister Samantha lately....I don't think there is a minute that goes by that I don't, but because it is fall and Halloween time, she has been on my mind a lot. She loved this time of year so much, and would prepare for it months before. I wanted to post pictures of some of her decorations. They are so cute and so Samantha. I love this time of year too, and will always look forward to putting up the decorations that she loved so much.....Miss and love you Samantha.
I also wanted to post some pictures of Olivia's soccer game on Saturday. I can honestly say that her games in San Diego weren't as beautiful as they are here. The trees are fully changing now and it is absolutely breathtaking!
By the way Olivia's soccer team is doing really well and they think they will have a killer team in a few years. Ethan is doing great on his team... they love to have him, he is a great defender. Elijah's team is undefeated and doing extremely well. His season will not be over for a while, they will be doing a couple of tournaments in Albuquerque.
