The Homecoming Dress made of Gold!

Here are some pictures of Kenzie before she left for the Homecoming Dance. Isn't the dress beautiful on her? Alyson and Jenn took Kenz "shopping" to Alyson's Closet. Ever heard of it? Um... Alyson's closet?!?! There were some fabulous dresses that Kenz tried on and she chose this one!I love the short hair all curly!! Thanks Annie, for the fabulous hair-do.

For their day date they went paint balling and let me tell you she came home with some serious welts in really unfortunate places. Yikes! Only one more High School Homecoming Dance to go for this girl, where does the time go? I want to know!!

So Long Drill Team, Hello Football Team?!?!

So as you can see Kenzie has traded in her dance shoes for "cleats" and took up a new sport last night for Homecoming Week at Mountain Crest. Yes, my daughter took to the field and played powderuff football. (This is the same girl who wouldnt play T-Ball because the hat messed up her hair.) Colby, Jason and I were there watching her and they both mentioned that she really looked like she knew what she was doing! It must be from all those Denver Bronco games she's been forced to watch her whole life. She got in on a few plays and in the end the Senior girls beat the Junior girls 8-0. Who didn't know that was going to be the result, right? What can I say we were pretty proud of our little Defensive Back!

Hair, Parties and Additions....

The SINGLE most exciting thing that happened this week is I became an Aunt to Addison Anne Ludwig. She was born on 9/12/08 to my sister Anjanette and her husband Craig.She is perfect and beautiful. However, she lives in Tempe, AZ which in times like this seems so very far away. When a picture in your email isn't enough and you just want to hold her and smell her, kiss her and watch her non stop.She is the baby sister to Kaylin 2, Lauren, 4 and Davin 6.

Oh and the SECOND most important happening from this week is Kenzie cut 5 inches off of her hair. Who would of though it? We ALL love it and she is so cute with her sassy new do!

The other item of interest this week was the Quik Check party last Thursday. We had a BBQ with our families and it really was a good time. Bentlee was the hit of the party and everyone that has heard so much about Alyson finally got to meet her. My entire family was there with Jason and I except Colby who was working the Nucor "shutdown". There were so many little kids running around and then there was Isaac who definately put on a show with his hula hoop! You can just see the amount of concentration in his little face!!

Jan's Birthday

I still have not perfected the habit of sitting down and writing a post each week. So here goes with the latest.On Saturday it was Jan's birthday and so the "girls" went to lunch at Blackstone (Jan's choice, she had never been). I told her how much we like it so we were all excited. Let's just say we had the WORST service I have had there since the week they opened. There was literally no one there but us and our server should definately reconsider her chosen profession, I kindly suggest one that probably doesn't have to do with serving or helping the public in general. Anyway we had a good time hanging out and catching up on everything that is going in our busy crazy lives.

Sunday afternoon Grandpa invited us all up to his house for cake and ice cream for Jan and Christopher's birthday. Grandma is in AZ with Anjanette waiting (still waiting as of right now) for the new arrival to their family. Jan brought her favorite cake from Sam's and I brought the ice cream. You can see in the pictures that I think Tereck was hungry for "pizza" and Bentlee loves her new pink shoes. Yes, I know it WAS Jan's birthday and she kind of sort of made it into one of the pictures. Happy Birthday, Jan!
