games, dances, parties - oh my...

This weekend is a busy one...

~ John and Kerianne enjoyed the Phx Suns game last night in the Southwest Airlines suite! It was a great opening game and they had a ton of yummy food to munch on...

~ Kaisha went to the DV homecoming game (I'm not sure who even won!!). She, Alexis & Taylor then toilet papered a friend's house, and she spent the night over at their home -- the Baldwin's are her "second" family...

~ John took his car in for a maintenance check-up this morning, and is at the ASU game with Kameron & Kennedi. The Baldwins had extra tickets and invited them along! Kameron & Kennedi get along great with their son Ben, who is nine...

~ Kaisha and the twins are out getting pedicures this afternoon for the Homecoming Dance tonight! They bought cute dresses a few weeks ago. They all got their hair trimmed by a gal in our ward Thursday night -- well, Alexis got hers cut!! They are going to be gorgeous tonight...

~ Kerianne is off to a friend's Halloween party tonight. She'll be with a great group of girls from the ward. I'm sure she is going to have a blast! She is Tinkerbell this year...

~ John and I will spend the night trick-or-treating with Kam & Kenners. Kam is a Zombie Doctor and Kennedi is a Vampire. All of their old Halloween and dress up costumes sure have come in handy this year!

I have been neglecting our blog lately! I've found that there isn't much time left in the day after I get home from work. There's dinner to be made, a load or two of laundry to be done, homework to be checked, kids to bathe, and then bedtime by 7:30!! It's been challenging. I am loving my new job at The Travis Law Firm and have been given a lot more responsibility the past couple of weeks. It sure makes the time go by faster. One day my supervisor actually told me to stop being so efficient :) The kids are doing great with the new routine. They get home and text me so I know they're safe. They have a snack and work on homework until I get home. The little ones play outside with friends after they're done -- it's nice to have Kaisha & Keri to help watch over them. The temps have been a bit chilly lately. The kids cry that it's FREEZING in the house when they wake up! I quite enjoy it! We haven't turned on the furnace yet -- I'm holding out as long as possible. Time to break out all the blankets and wrap up at night :)

Small plug for Fresh & Easy : John and I bought our Thanksgiving & Christmas turkeys this morning : only $0.37 / lb! Not bad to pay only $7 for a 20-lb turkey! We also found a ton of other great deals. Hurry over to your closest store and grab a couple. I'm excited for our own "neighborhood market" to open in a couple months (48th & Ray).
