Last flag football game

This was the Nolan's last flag football game of the season. Grandma and Grandpa Hansen drove all the way down for it, stayed a little bit afterwards, and headed back home. Thanks grandma and grandpa for doing that - Nolan appreciated that a lot! Nolan had 6 tackles (got the kids flags) and scored a 30 yard touchdown. You can tell from one of the pics that he was pretty happy. He is now getting ready to start Jr. Jazz in January. He's a pretty good little player and his mom and dad are proud of him.

Halloween Dresses

My friend and I made dresses for our girls (yes sisters I actually sewed these dresses myself). Madelyn loves her dress! They were easy and fun. I can't wait to make some different dresses for the girls.

First Snow of the Season

Today we woke up to 4" of snow on the ground. Nolan and Madelyn were so excited to play in the snow. After church they got dressed and went out and played. Vanessa even went out but only for about 5 minutes. She just stood in one spot and didn't move until I said "come here". She didn't know what to think of the snow. She wanted to touch it but when she did it was too cold.

Too Cute!

Couldn't pass this one up. We were all getting a kick out of the way Vanessa looked and was acting with her Michael Phelps eyewear. She's a good sport.

Flag football

Nolan has been involved in flag football the past couple of weeks having two games a week between here in Clearfield and going to South Weber and Riverdale. The first two games he scored the only touchdowns for his team and the last few games he has been doing really well on defense. He was a little hesitant on grabbing the other kids flags at first, but now he is the first person to ball getting their flags. You can see how much more confident he gets with every game - it is fun to watch.

Swimming Lessons

Nolan and Madelyn are both involved in swimming lessons last week and they wrap it up this week. They have swimming lessons lined out for kids that are off track like Nolan is for the two weeks. It is nice to have a beautiful indoor aquatic center to have the kids go to with great teachers. They have enjoyed it a lot.

The first trim!

This was both a good and sad day as far as cutting the luscious locks of Madelyn. It was sad to see the beautiful curly hair disappear but if you asked her it was good so now a brush can pass through it without bringing her to tears. She certainly looks like a little Missy now but she sure looks cute!
