uncle t

uncle tyler came into town for thanksgiving-

and there is always fun to be had when he is around.

so we drug him with us to buy our christmas tree.

troy was grateful to have a second set of hands that were actually helpful!

gobble

another turkey day away from family

but so grateful to have a family away from home.

teresa and rich had us and merideth and jim  and crew

over for turkey day.  the kids had a blast together and we love these families.

it kind of breaks our heart every time we move and leave friends.  

red carpet

somehow i get to be lucky enough to be the young women's president to this

amazing group of girls.  they truly are one special each in their own way.

living in NC and being one of the only ones in their schools that is lds is hard

but they do it with such strength and are an example to me.

we rolled out the red carpet for their yw evening of excellence…. because they

are red carpet worthy

veterans day

Veterans Day is huge at overhills

there is such a huge military presence that it is a special holiday for the area.

A few years ago the school started doing a veterans day parade and it has just grown.  

each class is in charge of a "float" and a few kids get to walk in the the parade.  

Since i am ever so lucky/ unlucky to get to help make the floats my kids get to walk.

this makes me proud- proud to be in a military community, proud of my kids for learning the sacrifices

families/ military make, and proud of their school for making this happen. 

these to besties kam and cam decided that if they were going to walk together

they needed full twiners.  so dang cute together

cam with her teacher Mrs Mathis and assis. 

awards awards

so proud of my kids for how amazing they are in school!

they are champs and get awards every time.  love them

a little learning

ems really wishes she was in school with her big sister.

we love helping in class any chance we get.  

And cam is such a sweetheart about sharing her desk with ems. 

thanks camiron and kamryn for the selfies on my phone. really thanks.
