Thanksgiving Dinner

The kids begged to stay home for Thanksgiving this year. So, I had to cook....Cooking sucks. It's only the second time I've had to do the whole thing by myself, but they were all happy not to be drug around to relatives houses. So, I guess it was all worth it in the end. All the food turned out too...that's a plus. We had Chantel's friend Montana over for dinner. She's a darling girl and we are always happy to have her here.

Next year, we're goin' somewhere else.  Who wants to cook?

I do have a great husband though.  He always does dishes.  Gotta love him for that.  :)

Turkey Leg Run - Farmington

Wooohoo!  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Hope you all have a wonderful day and all the food is good. We are just hanging out watching football and playing XBox with the kids.  I did run a race this morning.  Had to work off some of the food before I ate it.  It was a really fun race.  I ran it with some really great people that I just love to death.  It was a hard race with a lot of up hill, so I'm happy with my time. 23:29.

Love to all the family we'll give you a call later.

Me, Loisanne, Heidi, Heather, Angela, Russ

Syracuse Football

Well, the Syracuse Football season has come to an end.  Their record for the year was 9-3.  Not bad.  They lost in the playoffs, but we sure had a great time cheering them on, and before you know it....Corbin's senior season will be here.

Corbin

Oh, where oh where has the time gone.

There was a little girl,

Who had a little curl,

Right in the middle of her forehead.

When she was good,

She was very good indeed,

But when she was bad she was horrid.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It's a poem that my mother and my grandmother used to say to me all the time as a little girl.  But, the truth is, it fit's Channy pretty well.

My baby turned 13 today.  No more little ones around the house...Just teenagers....All 3 of them.  I was looking through old photographs of Channy today, and of course it brought tears to my eyes to see how fast the time has gone.  She was my sweet little girl I dressed in pretty little outfits.  Then she was my little tom-boy that dressed in her brothers old clothes, and refused to wear dresses anymore.  The tides have changed once more, and fashion reigns the day. Today she begged to wear the new clothes she knew I'd bought her....After all girl's got to look pretty....especially a teenage girl.

Fall Family Pics

Today I took some fall pictures of the family. Let me tell you it was no small job. No one likes their picture taken...what's that all about??? But, this is what I got for my efforts.

Titan Homecoming

I was thrilled when Corbin decided to go to homecoming. After all, you only get to go to High School once. Corbin has had a rough time of late, and I knew a little dancin' would cheer him up. He invited Kirstin a Titan Cheerleader to insure it was extra cheery. :) He doubled with one of his Titan teammates (Zach) and another Titan Cheerleader (Kaylee), and it really did the job......He was definitely cheered up. They are all great kids. I love to have them around.

They started off with a day date. Breakfast at Granny Annie's in Kaysville (side note: Annie's is his grandma Dorman's favorite breakfast establishment.) Then on to the Gateway for a picture scavenger hunt. After that, ice cream at Cold Stone. Then back home to get ready. (We went shopping last minute for a vest at the mall.) Then the boys went to pick up the girls and met at the park (because parents don't pay without pictures. lol) After that, they went to dinner at Chili's, and then to the dance (I'm told Corbin is a dancing machine. He danced with everyone's date.) After the dance the whole group came to our house for a movie.

So, let's do the math - Shoes $40, Tie $10, Vest $30, Corsage $ 30, Breakfast $8, Camera $12, Ice Cream $7, Dinner $30, Dance Tickets $15, Pictures $45, Movie $5 -A smile on Corbin's face PRICELESS! (Don't ask Rick if it's Priceless...you may get another answer)

Corbin did play in the winning Homecoming game against Roy score 47-0. Here is a picture from the game. We are pretty CrAzY fans. We wear Property Of Titan Football T-shirts, wave blue and white pompoms and ring cowbells. Were down right embarrassing; no wonder Corbin pretends not to know us.

Football - It's a rough sport

Syracuse High Football


It's been a really tough football season for Corbin. He started off the preseason with a bad sprained ankle. That took a few weeks to heal, and then just when he was back.....something life changing happened to him....He had a seizure. He was lifting and just went down. It was a grand mall seizure (8 min long) an ambulance was called to take him to the hospital. His team mates were very frightened and shaken. After tons of tests, X-ray, blood, CAT, MRI, EEG and so on he was diagnosed 6 weeks later with Epilepsy. Then just when he was back, the Davis High JV team dislocated and tore his shoulder. It was very painful to watch him have it put back in. So, now he's in physical therapy again. He is determined to play against Syracuse's biggest rival Clearfield High School in 2 weeks. Rick suggested he take up Chess Club next year in place of football after Rick got the $1300. ambulance bill. Somehow, I just don't see Corbin switching it up like that. :)

Syracuse High Schools record so far 3-1
GO TITANS!
