WINTER WONDERLAND!

These were taken a couple nights ago! Our official FIRST snow of the season! It also snowed all night last night. Enough to have our FIRST NO SCHOOL DAY! We still have no gloves, bibs, or boots. I know we are a little slow on keeping on top with everything. Hopefully this weekend we can buy some for everybody! I also have birthday pics of the girls to post. Just not today! :) Check back soon!

HALLOWEEN 2007

The kids had a great time trick or treating this year! Not too much and not too little of candy! They were actually complaining that they were tired and wanted to go home! Chad was sooo excited and had NO complaints! sCARy hOLyOak KiDs

HUSBAND TAG!

WHERE DID WE MEET? The first time was at a guys house that I was dating....the second time was at the same house but I was no longer dating that same guy!

WHERE WAS OUR FIRST DATE? This is a good one! That was first day of lifeguarding for me since it was memorial day, but he did ask me to go tube down the salt river...so after I was done guarding he came over and picked me up and we went back to his apartment cuz of course he got BURNED all over his chest from tubing and he asked if I would rub aloe vera gel over his burned areas! NO PROBLEM I SAID!! :)

FIRST KISS? Well how can you resist a kiss when you are rubbing aloe vera gel all over a HOT GUYS chest? No more comments on this one! :)

HOW LONG DID WE DATE? Well let me think about this one...ONE WEEK! We were engaged for 2 months and then married!

WHEN AND WHERE WE WERE MARRIED? We got married on AUG. 9, 1997 in good ole MESA ARIZONA!

HOW WAS THE RECEPTION? Great...we had it at our good friends house and walked around and talked! Chad had his buddies park his truck at the hotel in Scottsdale so it couldn't be destroyed by anyone and my mom had a limo come pick us up! IT WAS AMAZING! I thought we were so cool!

HOW WAS THE HONEYMOON? Awesome! We drove up to Durango Colorado! Enough said.... I wish we lived there!

I don't have any pictures of us on our computer from way back then so I will post one later if I can find one!

YAHOOOOO FOR SEDONA!!

We were playing Sedona this past Saturday in Sedona at 9am! So instead of leaving by 4am Saturday morning we traveled to Camp Verde and stayed the night! Only a 25 minute drive from there! We got up first thing in the morning and was there by 8am! Holden and Cade were getting very excited...this was their last game. We told Holden if he sacked the quarterback we would give him $5. We also told him if he made a touchdown we would give him $5. Then if they won the game we would give him $5! He could make some good money this game! Pretty good motivation huh? Well lets just catch you up on ONE thing....they had never won a game so far. I wasn't too worried! Then to my surprise...they made a touchdown in the 1st quarter! HOLY COW! I was jumping up and down like a little kid! I had to take a picture for everyone!Then the coach was setting up the secret play!
Cade is giving one of his coaches HIGH 5 after doing a great job out on the field!



In the 3rd quarter they surprised us again and ran the ball in for a 2nd touchdown!!


Meanwhile Zoe and Paige were keeping busy playing with the boys and the rocks!

Zoe seemed really interested in one of the boys! Watch out she may just turn out like her momma! Leading all the boys in her direction! :)

By the end of the game we had actually WON! I couldn't believe it! Or should I say we ALL couldn't believe it!

What a great way to end the season!

GO LIGHTNING!!!

CUTE GIRLS!

ZOE decided that she wanted to wear a dress on this particular day so I picked her up and let her choose! Good choice I said! Then of course PAIGE had to wear a dress too so mom would say she looked just as cute! So then you can't have them wearing dresses without putting PONIES in their hair so afterall is said and done...I thought to myself...I should take PICTURES! Now all I had to do was pick a location. So I walked out my front door and said go stand in front of the tree! They LOVED it! After I was all done I thought to myself again...I don't think I need to take them to TARGET this weekend when I am down in the valley to get their 3 year old pictures....I can just use these! So there I go again saving Chad some more MONEY! Boy he LOVES it when I do that!! :)Zoe is growing up so fast! She loves it when I do her hair and put lipstick on so she can look pretty!
Paige and her smile! She tries so hard to smile and she still looks funny! Hopefully she grows out of it!

Zoe was hamming it up for me and the camera, but Paige for some reason was acting a little shy for some pictures. Guess you can never have both cooperate at the same time huh?? Maybe one day!

A little bit of a better smile!

Zoe is sooo photogenic! She definitely gets it from her momma!

They can be sweet to one another most times!

By this one they were both saying MORE PICTURES?

GO LIGHTNING

Way to tackle him Holden! Bring it on!

Run Cade Run!!


Go get him Holden!

Holden and Cade were on the same tackle football team this year! Holden was one of the bigger kids on the team and Cade was the smallest! Here are some random shots that were taken throughout the season! Holden was #20 and Cade was #19!

Family Pictures!

Last weekend we went up towards Sunrise Ski Resort and decided to take our own family pictures! I am too cheap to hire a photographer when I can do it myself and come out with the same or better results! The girls didn't last too long before they started whining about something or someone! The end result was pretty darn good I might say so myself!
