The two best costume ideas. :)

They tricked us - and I thought we were friends.

Happy 14th to our Beautiful Mikaela!

I think I am the best mom ever!  I had the most amazing idea for Mikaela's bday.  She is obsessed with BYU football and the boys on the team, so I called my dad and asked if it would be ok to meet some of them.  Tom Holmoe who is the Athletic Director and BYU and my dad's good friend got us into the practice before the big game - which just happened to be on Mikaela's bday.  That is only thing she wanted to do.

Kyle Van Noy warming up. Mikaela was in tears at this point.  Had hives on her neck and her knees wouldn't stop shaking. :) I surprised her good!

She got over 25 signatures from the football team.

I think you could say she is in heaven!

Taysom Hill anyone?

A big thanks to Grandpa!!

Breakfast in bed.

And it only got better with amazing new indoor soccer shoes.

Lots of good BYU stuff too!

Can't believe she is 14.  Can't believe she is as tall as me.  I can believe how sweet and amazing this girl is!  We love you Mikaela!! :)

I was lucky enough to get to go with Mikaela and Matt to the game.  Grandma was super sweet to babysit the boys! :)

Skousen B-days in October.  Mikaela and Luke.

We got to meet Tripper's fiancé - Ashley.  She is amazing Tripper.  We are super excited for these two cute kids to get married! :)

October part 1

Matt stayed at the famous haunted Stanley hotel in Colorado for his sales mtg.  Pretty creepy!

 In memory of Linda on her B-Day.

Growin the beard out.

Cute Uncle Howard died at the age of 101.  I got to sing at his funeral with my sister in law Marisa.

Kai makes crafts everyday.  I  kept the pile on the left.  But don't worry - it will be as big on the one on the left in just a couple of days. :)

Getting tonsils out is not fun!  But Kai has done great!  What a sweet boy!  As long as he has his Mario clan with him - everything is better. :)

Recovering didn't go so well.  The poor kid couldn't eat or drink anything!  But he was super sweet!

Shouldn't post this because it is gross - but the Dr. said they were some of the biggest tonsils he had seen.  With lots of pockets.  It is a good thing we got them out!

Children's Museum

 Having fun at the museum.
