Another winning Saturday!!

Chandler and Kayden both won again in their football games this weekend! Kayden's team won 38-13 and Chandler's team won 35-0. They both had a good time and played great! We stayed after Chandler's game and watched Brooks and Tres' game! It was so fun to get to see everyone else that came to watch too. It was like a "mini" Tarwater reunion! hahah...That is the way it has always been through the years...family supporting family. So fun!! And it was a great day to be at the football field. It stayed cloudy most of the day, with a breeze. Bryant, the boys and I were at the field for 8 hours!!! Wow!! Of course, I forgot my camera AGAIN!!! AAAHHH...My mom is coming this weekend for the games, so hopefully she will help me remember to take my camera and get some pictures!! Oh by the way, if any of you were planning to come to Kayden's game at 8am, DON'T!!! It was moved to 2pm. So Chandler plays at 10am and Kayden at 2pm. Let's pray for another cool day!

Our Busy Days!!!!

Wow! I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted! Thank you to everyone who voted for Hunter! The voting ends next Tuesday, and then I'm not sure what happens after that!
So things have been pretty busy for us. Football is going great! The boys both won again this last Saturday by pretty good margins! It is so fun to watch them. Beau and Brigette came to Chandler's game to cheer him on. It was really hot that day, and grandpa Darwin found Beau the perfect spot to cool down!

We are excited for our games tomorrow!
Hunter and I have kept busy playing with Beau each day. He helps me feed him:

From the mess he made, you wouldn't believe that I have fed three babies baby food before him! I thought I was a pro, but Beau humbled me very quickly! In my defense though, it was a "chunky" food that he had never eaten before! Hahahaha!!!
The other day Brigette brought Beau over to drop him off for the day and Hunter started "reading" him a book. Brigette and I couldn't believe how still he sat and how intently he listened to Hunter's story-telling. It was soooo cute. They played "footsies" the whole time he read!

I apologize for Hunter's attire, but he had just gotten out of bed!
Today Beau has been in a really good mood! He has been laughing and playing with Hunter all day! When I took Beau's shirt off so he could eat it got "stuck" on his head and Hunter thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen! Of course, I thought it was the cutest thing I've ever seen!

After all that fun, Beau couldn't take much more, so after he was fed & bathed he gave out on us!

And I don't think Hunter is very far behind him.

He was almost asleep, but you know Hunter, he can't take a picture without a big, cheese grin on his face. One more episode of Spongebob and I think he'll be down for the count!
So, that is the way we spend our days...it will be very quiet around here after next week when we don't have Beau to play with anymore! I better get busy trying to come up with activities to keep Hunter busy!!! Teesh-hope you enjoy the pictures :0)

To My Extended Family!!

So it has been a couple of weeks since I have been to Granny's house for dinner (until last night). While laying in bed last night I realized how grateful I am to have such an awesome family. Granny & Pop started the AWESOME tradition of Sunday dinners a LONG time ago. I still remember it being the highlight of my Sunday when I was a little kid, and when we moved to Utah I remember crying so hard because I was going to miss those dinners more than anything else. Now it is so fun for me to watch my kids get so excited about going to Granny's for dinner!
As I was thinking about our family last night, I realized that it is truly rare to have such a big group of people that unconditionally love each other the way our family does. And who honestly like to be around each other. I can't think of any other family that I know of that is this way. Our family is full of honest, loyal, non-judgemental, trustworthy, loving, caring people. I am proud to say I am a part of it.
I can't imagine what it must be like to not have a family to fall back on in times of need. I know that my family is there for me whenever I need a soft place to fall and it is such a great feeling. Knowing that families are forever, I am comforted that I will never be alone. I am so blessed to have you all!
I may not tell you each individually, but I am truly grateful to each of you for just being a part of my extended family. You impact my life by just the simplest things; a smile, a hug, a laugh, a hello. Don't ever think you don't matter to me because each of you do. And I love you all. Nothing makes me happier than seeing all of us going through this life happy and healthy, getting married, having kids, grandkids, etc. and enjoying it with each other!
Thank You!

FOOTBALL IS HERE!!!!!

Yesterday Chandler & Kayden had their first tackle football games of the season! Kayden plays for the Chandler Cougars and Chandler plays for the Chandler Rattlers! Kayden's team won 41-6 and Chandler's team won 33-0. It was a great day of football. The boys played great and their teams look really good this year! It is so exciting. My cousin's Brooks, Tres, Kobe & Clayton all play in the same league (on different teams) and they ALL won yesterday too!

Next week my boys have away games, so we will be traveling all the way up to Cave Creek for Kayden's game and Chandler plays on the Indian Reservation in Sacatone. It's hard to believe they travel so far, being so young. But it is fun anyway! Well, except that we have to be at Kayden's game by 6:30am and it is like an hour drive, so we are going to have to be up by 5am. I am so NOT a morning person! But it is worth it!

I stole this from Tiffany...Not sure it's too accurate, but here are the results anyway!
