Evelyn's 12th birthday!

Evelyn is ALWAYS so excited for her birthday! Out of order pic of her eating her ice cream :)

In birthday tradition, she requested regular pancakes with caramel, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles with squirty whipped cream.

Opening Adeline's present.

Grandma and Grandpa came down and she and I went on a special "birthday" bowling date with them. It was fun to have some one on one time with just her. Made it a completely different experience.

Ryan and I got her her own dresser for her birthday gift. She was SO SO happy to have her OWN dresser space.

She requested in n out for dinner.

Singing the happy birthday with ice cream and her treat request, chocolate covered strawberries from Zupas.

Happy birthday Evelyn! You are getting to be such a fun, dramatic, creative, lovely young woman!

The girls and I meet baby Russell!

Evelyn loved playing with Ruby on the visit.

Sadee and Adam had their first baby, Russell Wayne Elizondo on August 14. We finally got to go see him a couple Sundays ago. He is so little and cute! I can't get over how small his head is. Maybe my kids' heads were that small, but I can't imagine they were.

He is so sweet and basically slept the whole time of our visit.

Watching his diaper get changed.

Maybe slight opening of eyes :). We look forward to another visit!

Liam;s varsity FB games vs. Roy and Murray and his first job

Out of order pic against Murray. I liked more of the action shot.

Liam is playing varsity on FB this fall due to so many less kids on the team. They had their first game against Roy.

Proud of Collin for going and sitting with the students.

More action shots.

It was a tough loss against Murray, especially when the first quarter was so good with the defensive touchdown!

Singing the school song after.

Liam got his first "real" job being an NFL flag football referee for the Gene Fullmer Rec Center in West Jordan. It's a great first job for him. He does it on Saturdays so for the most part it doesn't interfere with football and he is very happy to be finally making some money.

Second game of the season was at Murray. They call it the war on 54. I do love the white uniforms but it is a LOT harder to see numbers on that coloring.
