Thanksgiving Day 2017

Started with mimosas and cinnamon rolls!

Our lovely host was Karlee.  We had it had her apartment, her roommates were out of town.

Yes that is really Karlee in the kitchen....her kitchen lol so I guess that is the difference than when I wanted her to get in the kitchen at home.  She is making green bean casserole. 

My sweet and funny mommy and I!

Ben & I.  He makes me so happy!

The men watching football!

The girls playing apples to apples.  It has become one of my favorite games!

My mom and Larry, they are so cute!  We played Heads up, it was so much fun!

The day was filled with great moments to cherish.

The day was perfect!  Very thankful that we could all come together to spend time making memories!

Quick November Update

Kids sports at school has ended for the season.

I continue to enjoy my growing relationship with Ben.

I still can't wrap my head around that I have a senior in the house and that he is graduating from high school this year....

I'm really enjoying my new job!

My mom and Larry will be here to celebrate Thanksgiving with us.

This is the time of year that time seems to go by fast with hustle and bustle after Thanksgiving and then Christmas and New Years and then it slows down again.  My goal is to keep things simple and to enjoy time with family and friends making memories to cherish and not worry about spending so much time, energy and money on gifts, instead just being present in each moment.

I will touch in again soon and talk more about my new job.  But for now I hope everyone out there enjoys their Thanksgiving with family and friends.  Live and Cherish

School Sports Season Ended

Earlier this month Kyle's Football banquet was held.  It was nice but sad at the same time, he's a senior so its his last one.  I was happy that we could celebrate this special memory in his life together as a family.

I'm very proud of my son.

 Then Karlee and I went to Sara's end of the season Volleyball Banquet for her first year as a freshman.

Sara and her coach.  Sara has a few more years to look forward to.  It will be fun to see how far she goes with Volleyball.  Kyle will leave high school and then its Sara's turn to shine.

Sara's season has ended at school, but she will continue learning and growing more in volleyball by playing a season of Club at the YMCA.  This will be an adventure for her and me.....with all the traveling but it should be fun!

Last weekend of October!

Last weekend was full and fun!

Friday night was the last football game for the high school season!  Coconino vs. Flaghigh!

The game was amazing, intense and awesome!

Coconino played hard and didn't give up!

We won!

Karlee and her boyfriend and friend came along to watch the game along with Sara, Ben and I.

It was so fun with all of us there to support Kyle and the team.

Its so classic, a cheerleader and a football player! :)

Kyle and few of his friends after the game.

Moving onto Saturday night!  Ben and I went over to a friend's house that was having a Halloween Party!  It was fun to relax and have fun with others.  There were so many people squeezed into their home, and all the kids carving pumpkins was great!

A friend of ours said that it was cute that this was our first event out as a couple to be introduced to others as "Ben's girlfriend".  

We left the party early around 9:00 and went back to my place and continued the evening enjoying each other's company listening to music, cuddling and talking.  It was a great Saturday night!

Sunday is always a relax day along with going to the grocery store.....but this time I didn't even do that much, I just relaxed and got ready for my second week at my new job!

Blessed with a weekend of fun, smiles, family and friends what more could I want?!
