New Arrival

We were blessed with another cute little niece the middle of November!

Cassi Marie is my sister and her husband's first child. Cassi was breech and was scheduled for a C-section, but she decided she didn't want to wait to come into the world. So, the night before her scheduled arrival, my sister's water broke and Cassi was brought into the world by emergency c-section instead.

She was a tiny 6 lbs 15 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She has lots of dark hair, and big, beautiful dark eyes.

I was lucky enough to take a week and go to Twin Falls to stay with my sister and help her. I got spoiled for a week and had a hard time leaving my cute lil' niece behind when it came time to come home. Twin Falls has never seemed far away until now.

I am so excited for my sister and brother-in-law! This little baby girl has already brought so much joy and happiness into all of our lives!!! We are excited to watch her grow!

Pumpkin Carving

On Saturday, we had Kelli, Dan, & Halle over for some pumpkin carving fun!!! Kelli & Dan brought a bunch of pumpkins over that they had grown in G'ma B's garden. There were plenty of pumpkins to go around...so we got started. Within minutes, Curtis and I realized that Dan is no typical pumpkin carver...nope...he brought pumpkin carving to a whole new level for us!!! He pulled out templates and a drill!! And we thought we were just gonna go at it with a knife this year! Ha!

We all got creative and ended up making some really cool pumpkins! From witches...to pirates..to mummies...even the Boise State Bronco! What fun!?!

Did I mention that it was Halle's first time carving pumpkins?! She had her own little pumpkin to de-goo and carve! It was so cute watching her help scoop out her pumpkin's goop...and trying to eat it...and dumping it in the bowl! Then she got so comfortable, she laid out on the table and started drawing on the newspaper and sticking her foot in the holes of the pumpkin tops amidst all of us carving! It was so cute!!

The Art of Blogging

So...I've had numerous people say that we (Curtis and I) need to post to our blog more often. I've tried hard for the past couple weeks trying to think of stuff to put on our blog to update it more often. Unfortunately, we just aren't that exciting, I guess.

I've looked at everyone's blogs over and over...trying to figure out why other people post more often...and I've discovered it has do with KIDS!!! Yep...everyone of you that blog often tend to have kids...whether teenagers...or cute little ones to write about! And so...you always have new pictures and fun things to post!!! Curtis and I have yet to be married even one year still...and no little ones in the picture (or on the way in the near future...for anyone wondering). I guess I just haven't really encompassed the art of blogging yet. So, for now...you're just going to have to take us as our boring, blog every few weeks, selves! :) Ha-Ha!!! Until our next fun adventure...or a kid...stay posted!

Another Season Has Come & Gone

Another season has come & gone. And I'm not talking about the weather here. Yep...I'm talking flag football.

Curtis and his brother, Kyle, formed a team last year (Free Agents) and played city league flag football for the first time. They had a lot of fun and decided to do it again this year. They had a hard time getting a hold of their team members from last year, so they took on a bunch of new guys this year. Unfortunately, most of them didn't show up for practices or games. You have to have 6 guys to play, so when it came to game time, it got rough. Luckily, we always knew we could count on Curtis, Kyle, Mike, Nick, & Skyler for the games. The rest of the guys were hit & miss. Even Dan (our brother-in-law) played with us a time or two to make a full team so we could play.

Through all the chaos of finding a full team...they still got to play every game and had fun! Our team always had the biggest cheering section too! (Yea football wives & family!) :)
