Extreme Makeover Kelsee Edition

I found these pictures on the camera.  They are priceless.  Kelsee said she did crazy makeovers..

Karlie has been working hard to be able to do the splits.

She has almost got it down.

The designer herself!!

Kelsee's Surprise

We received a card in the mail saying Kelsee would be getting an award at school.  Of course I tried to keep it from her.  She had no clue until....she walked in and saw us sitting at there for the assembly.  We just couldn't blend in.  It was cool anyhow.

She received the award for respectful attitude.

Way to go Kelsee..We are so proud of you!!

On to State

The State cross country meet is held in Pasco, Washington, which is about 4 hours from home.  Luckily, the school let us have one of their reserved rooms so we did not have to make the trip in one day.  We arrived to see this:

I wonder which room Kody is in??? We did see him for about 30 seconds that night..

We had lots of time to kill before his race... The girls enjoyed the leaves.

and the dead tree branches.

Eventually, Kody's race began.

Kody and Marcus stayed together most of the race, pushing each other.

Kody went on to take 27th out of 170 runners (which is amazing.) but collapsed at the end. The coach broke through the barriers to get to him.  Then Dennis held him up and he leaned on me for awhile. We then tried to get him to go to the medic tent, he refused and staggered off.  He had nothing left to give.  The coaches helped him back to the tent.  He worried me.  Finally after about fifteen minutes, he was joking and more like himself.  It was a bit scary though.  We figure somehow we are not doing something right and that is why he does not have any energy leftat the end of the race. My plan is to get it figured out because I can't stand to see him like that anymore.   

He had an amazing season, winning every regular meet, breaking the school course record, being named MVP of the Team and Male Athlete of the Year for the League (voted by all the coaches.). 

He gives it his whole heart and soul.  He is my HERO!!

Surprise Visitors??

Late Thursday afternoon I received a TEXT....yes a text, from my sister Tayler.  It said that her and her boyfriend were on their way to our house and would be there around 8 pm.  We then began to wonder... because it was a bit out of the ordinary.  I went to Stake Leadership training and came home to find my sister engaged!!  He proposed about 30 minutes before they got to our house. 

We had never met Keith before, but from the first moment felt like we had known him forever! It was exciting to be the first to know the news and see the HUGE rock!!(It is gorgeous.) We had a fun, quick visit!!

Congratulations Tay & Keith we are so EXCITED and HAPPY for you both!!

My Halloween Goblins!!

The Pirate.  I think the only reason she agreed to this hand me down costume is for the earring!!

The Witch (with attitude!)
