Cookie Party

   Zach and I started this tradition the year we first got married in 2005.  20 years later and we've changed it a bit, Heather is great about letting us do it at her house since Zach and I no longer live in Chubbuck.  We started serving multiple kinds of soup and now just one kind of soup.  Our family has grown a ton, Zach and I now have teenagers, the kids that were once little are now adults with littles of there own!!  Every year we ask our girls their thoughts and as long as it stays one of their favorite things we will continue to do it.

  We love and appreciate those die hards who have supported us each and every year and we miss those who live far away that it makes it hard to attend but only once every few years.  We love our family and are grateful for each and everyone of them.

-A very big thanks to Madi, Hanna and Travis for helping blow up balloons and put up the balloon arch.

-Poor Libby got induced Thursday night and went all day Friday with no luck!  She didn't get released until Friday evening so her and Obin just missed everyone :(.  Zach the kids and I decided to come back after the lights so that we could give Lib a quick hug.

Let's Play Some Hoops

  Keagan made the 7th grade basketball team and had so much fun!  She had a ton of fun with her coach; coach Hughes and had a great first experience with school sports!  The 7th grade practiced a lot with the 8th grade so Keagan made a lot of new friends and improved a ton!  The 7th grade started their season off with a loss of 41 to 16 and we ended our season with a loss to that same team 32 to 29!  In the words of the Preston coach (who didn't know Zach was listening ;) their a scrappy team and their going to fight until the end).  Keagan has a great team/group of friends that are the sweetest girls with a great group of parents to rally behind them!

Thanksgiving

  Heather hosted the Ward family this year and we got a huge turn out!  She cooked 2 hams, 2 turkeys, set up tons of tables, chairs and everything else!  We sure appreciate her hosting and everything she did!  It's been a long time since so many of us have gotten together for Thanksgiving and it was nice.  Thanks Heather for being so amazing!

Libby's New House

   We got to go see Libby's new house and help her for a few hours.  We are so excited for Libby and all of the new exciting things happening for her!  Her new house is so cute and we cannot wait to meet her baby!

Happy Birthday Cleo

  Our Cleo had her 10th birthday!  We love our sweet girl and couldn't have asked for a more loyal, sweeter dog.  She has gotten a lot whiter, doesn't sit or stand as tall and doesn't like to play as much but she still loves to be loved, is super protective of her girls and is the best dog you could ask for!  Happy Birthday Cleo!
