Channing's Soccer Banquet

Channing had her AHS soccer banquet this past week. They celebrated at the Bridges and had a nice dinner and ceremony. Channing's played on the JV Red team and their team made a lot of improvements. They weren't the best group of girls, skill- wise, but Channing was an awesome leader and played great defense.

She looked beautiful as always! 

She went with her best friend Jenna.

She received the "Eagle Award" that the coaches give to the player on the team that works the hardest, is the most coachable, a leader, and has the best attitude. The award fits her perfectly and I am proud of her hard work despite not having the most talented girls to work with.

She had a good learning season with Coach DeLeon and I am glad she had some good friends to play with.

I am proud of her for being dedicated and doing her best in all she does! 

No more brace face!

After 2 years and 1 month Channing officially has no more braces! She was so excited to get them on to "fix" her teeth and now equally excited to get them off. 

She grew up SO much in the last two years! In all aspects! 

Here she is right before she went in the last day of braces and here she is after! They look great! 

I am glad she is happy with her big beautiful smile!

Cavin is officially an ADULT!

We officially have another adult in the house and I am not sure how I feel about it! Time does really just seem to fly by. Cavins birthday was on a Sunday, so we celebrated the couple days before. 

We went out to Olive Garden for dinner Friday night with my parents and we had a nice secluded area and it was a nice evening. Saturday night Cavin went with Ikeke, Joaqun, Cody, and Jackson bowling and to the Super Mario Bros 2 movie. They had a nice time goofing off. They also all except Jackson went on a camping adventure to the Dallas area a couple weeks before for their senior trip. 

On Sunday we went to church and meetings, then we ate, played games, talked to Ella, and then watched Cars.

The boy still loves Cars and I love that he does. His favorite color is orange, he still loves Chips and Cheese it Snack Mix, Soda, Chocolate milk, and just food in general. He decided he wants to play football in college, so he has been working with a recruiter and also has been accepted to Utah State University, University of Utah, and BYU-Idaho. He is planning on Utah State for now. Due to some medical issues, his application for a mission that was submitted in February was delayed. We are praying for a miracle that he will be able to reapply in June and still be able to go. He is determined to make it happen. He still loves watching soccer and playing. He is a good kid but has major senioritis. We are almost to the end of the year, hopefully he can make it one more month! He has a lot of potential and a lot in store for him. Although some things in life are uncertain to us, I have no doubt that the Lord knows what great things Cavin has in store for him. I hope he had a special birthday. 

Turning 43!

March 16 was my birthday! I had the day off  work which makes for a good day in itself :) I woke up and went to workout with my friends Kelsey and Becky and then had a breakfast donut.

My friend Niki sent me Crumbl Cookes and the kids and I enjoyed trying them out. 

Since my birthday is often the week of Spring Break, the kids had the day off and we went to Activate to celebrate together. 

We had a fun time together and Deacon won a basketball and Cavin a waterbottle. Afterwards we went to Texas Roadhouse and met my parents and sister Natalie for a nice dinner. We had a fun day.

Earlier in the week my friend Jen took me to lunch for a double date at Shoguns and had me wear the monstrous "hat" They sang and it was a whole thing. I am so glad the restaurant was mostly empty at that time! 

I was glad I got to celebrate early in Florida and have another day of enjoying with the kids. I am grateful for another year of health and pray I have many more ahead.
