Life Lately

   Its amazing how fast the months seem to go by so quickly. I have plenty of posts half written and have never taken the time to finish them till now. So instead of month to month post I thought I would just share some of the fun moments we've had........

 

Our new nephew Dean Caldwell Weeks was born October 9th

 

Yes we are matching and Chet was SO excited we had to get a picture!







 

It was a lot of fun to have the whole family together for Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning. We can't wait for the Christensen's to move closer so we can see them more :) 

My New Years Eve date till Chet got home from towing

 



 

It was fun to be apart and see Chet's cousins cute family get sealed together. I sure love my little buddies Shae and Dylan!!

 

Last week my mom turned the big 50!!
My sister planned the whole thing and did such a great job with everything. My mom had ideas about the party but she seemed surprised especially since her sisters came. We decided to give her gifts that represented a decade in her life and Katie came up with a cute poem for all of  us to give our gifts to her.We then had a yummy dinner, played a game and then had cake. It was fun to see my mom so happy and really enjoy herself at the party! Happy Birthday Mother T, we sure love you!



 

Rest of September

The rest of September was pretty laid back and didn't have to much going on.... We really are loving the fall weather and are looking forward to going up the canyon and seeing all te leaves soon!

/// Chet was in another softball tournament with a different team and they ended up winning the whole championship.... I was sad that I had to miss it but he proudly displayed the shirt on the table. Good job babe!! 

/// I got to watch Stella and Landon for a few days during the day...one day Landon wasn't feeling good and all he wanted to do was hold my hand all day even during his nap. 

/// Chet spent a lot of time at the golf course practicing for his big tournament coming up. I went with him one time to the driving range to hit a couple of balls. 

/// We both ended up getting bad head colds and glad that is gone but poor Chet is slowly getting over it!! 

/// Jake and Dale's birthday are a day apart from each others and we all got together for Jakes birthday to have cake and ice cream. Happy birthday Jake and Dale!!! 

/// Chet played in 'Fall on the river' tournament, he said he didn't do very good but I think he did great! He was just glad that he beat his parents :) 

/// One weekend we got to tend Stella and Landon for the weekend.... It was a lot of fun spending time playing outside riding bikes and looking at all the deer near our house. 

That night we took the kids to the last derby in Logan for the season. Stella loved it and Landon only enjoyed the tractors :) 

/// The last Saturday of the month I went to the general relief society broadcast with my mom, sisters and Tammie. We had a good time at dinner and the messages we heard were SO good.....just what I needed to here!! 

Labor Day Weekend

Chet was on call Saturday, Sunday, Monday all day and Tuesday part time needless to say we stuck around the valley. Which we were bummed about cause we wanted to go up camping with Tammie and Jay and go four wheeling, but we still had fun when we did get to see each other. 

Sunday night we were invited to go to the Burnett's and sleepover. Jake and Chet wanted to take tents and turned it into a camp out. It felt like we were camping and enjoyed making yummy treats and visiting by the fire. Chet was excited to be able to finally use our tent from Christmas.... He didn't get to try it out for very long before  he was gone ALL night on tows. 

I woke up to the wind blowing hard and lightning and thunder super close. So I made my way inside and camped out on the floor. Pretty soon the whole family was inside sleeping all in the living room. 

Monday in Wellsville is founders day so they have things going on all day for you to do. We got up early to watch Stella run in her first race!! Cam and Dale ran it with her and some of her cousins.They ended up starting where the 5k started so Stella ran a lot more then a mile and she did great!! 

It was raining pretty hard so we were all soaked by the end. Even these 2 got soaked from being in the stroller covered....

Stella got a medal and was so cute  with her little running outfit on. Good job Stella you did so good! 

We then went back to Cambria and Dales house and had a big breakfast and dried off. I snuck this cute picture of grandpa reading to the kids!

After showing my sisters they wanted to stick Emelia in the group.... Didn't go over so well :) 

It stopped raining so everyone decided we would go to the parade which rained on and off on us. The parade was still going when we were leaving and timed it just right cause on the way to the car it started to pour. 

The rest of the day was raining and poor Chet was gone all day working and hardly had any sleep. When I got home I found our power was out for a good couple of hours on the whole street. It came back just in time for me to make dinner. Chet finally got home and not even 15 minutes after he walked inside this is how I found him in our room. Im truly grateful for him everyday!
