What's On My Happy List?

Our computer crashed!!!! {luckily it was fixable} and dryer broke too!!! {luckily that was fixable too.} Can not wait to see what's coming next... as it seems all life's little hiccups come in 3's. Due to computer problems,  I'm a bit behind in posting.

This is all a bunch of randomness, but here are a few things that have made our happy list of late...

Kyleigh played at Region and took third place in her position...JV 3rd Singles!!!

She is so fun to watch on the court AND so {quietly} competitive

                   The weekend of Homecoming, {since she couldn't go to the dance but still wanted to do something fun} dad took her, Emma, cousin Andrew, and a couple of close friends for an overnighter up at Scofield.  They had a complete blast! Can't believe how much Kyleigh and Andrew resemble each other in this picture.

    
          Boy, is there a funny story behind this lake picture!...if you only knew....

                                                   They spent hours on the ATV's...

Kyleigh's buddy, Blake, is on the Sophomore football team. The players wore these jerseys at a game recently in honor of breast cancer awareness month. The players then sold their jerseys to raise money for breast cancer research. Kyleigh is now the proud owner of it. 

 

Decked out in pink with her girlfriends for the "pink" football game...

Emma and Kate at our Cooper girls night out on Conference Weekend while daddy was at priesthood....failed to get all nine of us in the picture....

Emma just whipped up this pillow one recent Saturday. Cracks me up. {A sewing project would be about the last thing I'd be doing in my spare time.}  I'm so proud of her though for developing this skill. Is it not so cute?

Hannah's 6th grade Egyptian Sarcophagus. She's kinda creepy! I've helped with 4 of these now, if you count my nieces....it was almost becoming an October tradition. Hard to believe I won't have to do another one for five more years....

Our Stake had a luau this weekend complete with a pig roast, Hawaiian haystacks, pina colada cake and Polynesian dancers.  What fun! I even braved wearing my Hawaiian muumuu!

Gotta love this work of art! courtesy of Kate...and yes, that IS black permanent marker!..ugh. I'm afraid hairspray nor Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will remedy this situation. We will have to drag out the paint. double ugh!  

There has been quite a few friend birthdays this past month...Putting together a gift for someone is one of my favorite things to do!  This one, for one of Emma's friends, was one of my favorites...

The gift box was so darn cute and so darn cheap...my secret to putting together a gift like this....that looks like you spent more money than you really did.... Scour places like Burlington, Ross and TJ Maxx. Love those stores!

What was inside the gift box....

One of B. Olivia's friend gifts. I love to color coordinate the gift with the gift wrap...I know, I'm a dork!

A gift given to me by a friend on Conference weekend. {It's THAT spread we had on our Brugg's Belgian Waffles on my birthday}. ...She found some! 

It was perfect on our traditional Conference Crepes...Wasn't Conference just wonderful? Loved the talks! So inspiring and uplifting.... so was our breakfast!
