MY MOMMY'S HEADSTONE!!

Here are some photos of my mommy's finished headstone. I think it turned out beautiful and it came together just how we wanted it to. The front of the headstone has a pic of my mom and dad with a boat on the lake with the sun shinning. That was their favorite outing ever. Also by my dad's name there is a "cactus" (family inside joke) so we will always have a good laugh and remember the good times we had when we visit. The back of the headstone has a pic of the whole family when we got sealed in the Salt Lake Temple on May 15th, 2001. It has all of us kids name down at the bottom and than a part of the poem that Josh my brother wrote for my mom. I am so glad its finished and that everyone will know where she has been laid to rest.

POEM BY JOSHUA COOKE TO OUR MOMMY!!

HALLOWEEN FUN!!!

Tonight was a good night. I had so much fun. We have some friends in town from Utah and we decided that we wanted to make some Halloween sugar cookies. It was fun baking I still wish it wasnt so hot outside in AZ so I could do more of it. We topped the night off with some eggnog and Hocus Pocus. :)

UTAH TRIP!!

This past week I was able to go to Utah for my cousin's wedding. I drove up with my dad and Miles on Wednesday and than got home on Sunday. I didnt get many pictures of the trip because as you all know I dont have my camera on me much. But I got a few. I am so happy for my cousin Justin and his new wife Katie. They have worked so hard to get where they are. The temple cermony was so wonderful and I was so happy to be there to celebrate with them. We also went to my mom's grave site and put up some halloween decorations. I hope next time I go up they will have the headstone. All in all it was a wonderful trip.

CHURCH BALL!!

So our stake started a tournament for basketball and Brandon decided that he wanted to join in on the fun. Well the second to last game of the season some guy on the other team could never rebound over Brandon so he decided to put his foot under Brandon and when Brandon landed he would fall on his foot and mess it up pretty bad. As you can tell from the picture below its swollen and bruised pretty bad. The bruising is even between a couple of his toes. No its not broken and the only reason why we know this is because he can walk on it just fine, and this has happened many times before and he got it checked out all they said is its just torn veins and sprained. So when it comes down to it church ball can cause injury.

BRANDON'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION WITH THE IN LAWS!!

Over Labor Day weekend my brothers were in town with their family and girlfriends. So one night Brandon and I went to go hang out with them and they did a birthday celebration for him. We had steak, salad, bake potatoes and so much other food it was wonderful. Dad also bought him a cake and we sang happy birthday. We had a great time.
