BYU vs. Utah

We went to the last BYU game. This season has been so fun to go as a family to the games. We only bought two tickets. We would trade between Cole and I going to the games. We also had a few games where we all got to go. The BYU Utah game was one that we all went to. We still had our mini van rental so we loaded up and dressed real warm! We painted the sides of the van in blue paint. It made the drive down so fun. Cougar fans would drive past cheering. Than U fans would drive past and give us thumbs down. We loved it. We love the friendly rivalry kind.

Way to go Cougars!

The following day I had thrown the BYU ticket stubs in the garbage, and later that night Cole had found them and came running into the room yelling "who throwed these away?" I said. "Well I did." Cole-" Mom don't do that-we save these" and he put them on the fridge. I guess we save them!

Coleman is Three Yippee!

Happy Birthday Coleman Scott Dearden

Cole turned three last week and boy do we love this little man. He is growing up to fast. Just a few things about our ColeMan...

When you ask him his name he says his full name.

He loves the color Green.

Trucks, cars, tractors, motorcycles, 4 wheelers.

He loves to play "tackle" with Dad.

He wanted a bike because Dad said he had to learn to ride a bike before a motorcycle. ha.

He is so animated, and loves to joke around.

He is so sweet to his baby sister.

He loves to tease and he just enjoys life.

He makes us laugh everyday!!!

He wipes off his cheek after we give him kisses.

He has the book "Where the Wild Things are" memorized.

He is All Boy and loves to be loud and Rough ( In Nursery they had him sit out of Ring Around the Rosie because he was tackling the other kids.

We Celebrated his Birthday with family that evening. We had cake and ice cream and did presents. Cole has three other cousins around his same age and has been asking for a sleep over for a while. So for his Birthday we had them all sleep over. They are the cutest little kids around! It was so fun to see them lined up in there sleeping bags, eating candy and watching "Up". What a fun Day! Thanks guys for the fun gifts and celebrating with us!

Way To Go Kevin!!

We bought well actually Kevin's work bought his study materials for the four CPA exams he has to pass. When they arrived I could not believe all the books and Cd's he needed to get him ready for the tests.

He took his first exam Friday September 23rd. He left the testing (where they take your finger print) feeling like he did really bad on it. We were told results would not be here till December

Well last night he checked and results were in!! He PASSED! Not only did he pass but he got 90!!

Sorry to brag but dang, he did awesome. Way to Go Kevin, I am so proud of you!!!

Grateful...

Tuesday evening I was in a car accident. I was going home and this truck pulled right in front of me. It was pretty scary since I have only been in a fender bender accident. I had my kids with me which made it very scary for me. I think I was in a bit of shock. I was a bit of a mess emotionally, I was pretty bummed out I hate car accidents.

But I was very blessed and here are the things that I was grateful for:

My kids and I were not hurt (other than slight whip lash)

The young boy admitted that it was his fault.

He had Insurance & they have been easy to work with.

The sweet lady that called the police and stayed with me in the middle of the road.

(That lady also went and got a zip lock of things for my kids to eat)

The Rental Mini Van

Rachel for coming with her kids and picking us up we were hanging out in the fire truck,

and Rachel again for bringing us a yummy dinner.

Dad getting off work to come help.

All the phone calls from Family.

The fireman who let me where there coat and use there cell phone since mine was dead.

My great husband who tried to get there as fast as he could.

I am so grateful for My Heavenly Father and how he watches over me and my family.

Dailey's Ear Piercing...

On October 23rd we took Dailey to get her ears pierced. We went with Ben and Rach who also got little Abby's ears done. I have always said if I had a girl I would pierce her ears. She cried for a minute or two but did very well. It was a little sad and I made Kevin hold her since I was a little afraid.

Dailey is four months old now. I can't believe it. Wow it goes to fast. We love her so much. She is such an adorable baby

Go Green Goblins!

Coleman's First Soccer Team

In September we signed Coleman up for Soccer. We put him on a team with three of his cousins. That may have been a mistake since they just love to hold hands and run around together. But it is so dang cute. Heck I'll pay $48 to have them run around in those cute soccer outfits and have a good time. However you were suppose to be 3 years old before the sign up date and Cole was not. So I decided if we wrote our name down to coach they would overlook the fact that he was under the age requirement. So good sport Kevin went out on the field with them and I help sub along with my brothers. Here are some cute pics of our Green Goblin Soccer Team!

Oh yeah, since Cole loves to play at home and is really good when we play with him but looses focus when he is out with the other kids. I being the good Mom I am promised him Ice Cream if he scored a goal. Well one of his fellow team mates was already set up to kick the ball into the goal than out of no where Cole jumps in and kicks it into the goal. Way to go Ice Cream for you buddy.

Summer Time Fun

We were at Susan and Andrew's house for a summer party and the kids were playing. Here is a video Kevin made.
