Keagan Ballin

Keagan just wrapped up her 8th grade year of basketball. Zach was her coach this year which she liked sometimes and sometimes she didn't. But for the most part it turned out good :). Zach enjoyed coaching and thought it was fun to see the girls improve.

As always Keagan loved all the girls on the team. The high school basketball coach came and worked with the girls/ran some practices several times during the season. The girls really thought that was great and they improved a ton this year!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving this year we went to Heather's house and enjoyed a yummy dinner with her family! It was so nice to be able to see all of her kids and grandbabies. After dinner everyone helped clean up and then played some games, Flip 7 and Trivial Pursuit.

We had a second Thanksgiving dinner with Grandpa Vance an Grandma JoAnn but didn't get pictures. We have enjoyed our tradition of cooking a small Thanksgiving dinner for them the Friday after Thanksgiving. Just them and us. Because our house is small for now we cook it at our house and haul it to theirs to eat :). They have a dishwasher which makes clean up a little nicer ;).

We had our third Thanksgiving dinner with the Tarbets at Grandpa Gary and Grandma Sally's. Caleb and Skylar's families were able to come and it was great to see everyone. Zach and I picked Grandma Monte up on the way so she could join us as well. Caleb smoked the turkey and it was super yummy and the girls were very excited for Sandra's rolls! We ended the afternoon playing Imposter.

Light The World

We were super excited to have the Giving Machines come to Pocatello and to be able to participate in using them! We braved the cold one afternoon and went as a family. The girls each used their own money to purchase things. It was a neat experience to be able to use them and see all the volunteers and performers helping make it successful!

Family Pictures

Jerry was amazing as always to fit us in his busy schedule super last minute. Like November...we didn't have picture clothes until the very last minute, debated even doing them. Ugh time is getting away from us more and more. Anyways, we lucked out and even though it was windy it was not a cold day and there was no snow like there has been other years ;).

Halloween

For Halloween I did copy Grandma JoAnn and make dinner in a pumpkin, that's about as festive as we got this year...life got away from us this year with basketball and football games. On Halloween Keagan hung out with friends (they all went as Strawberry Shortcake and friends). They got ready together, watched a movie, went Trick-Or-Treating and played hide and seek. Kabree had to cheer at the state semi-finals football game. They performed Thriller and it was awesome. She dressed up like a zombie cheerleader (of coarse I didn't get any pictures ;).
