FaLl SoCcEr SeAsOn iS OvEr

Well it finally came, the end of another soccer season!  I didn't think that it would come and now that it is here I can't believe that it is done!

KARTER:  He had two games this week, one on Friday and one on Saturday!  They played the same team both days.  Friday night's game ended in a tie.  It was freezing, I felt bad for the boys out there playing.  Saturday's game Karter's team beat the other team.  We were so proud!  Good Job Karter!

TRAEVN/BREKKEN:  Their team killed the other team!  These boys worked so well together as a team, they were awesome!  Traevn scored their last goal and was so proud of himself!!  Way to go boys!!

PEYTON:  Well his team was able to stay undefeated the whole season!  Peyton played good until about halfway through and then he decided he just wanted to be goofy!  He is such a silly boy!!

They got their trophies and are excited to put them with the rest of them!

We love you boys so much and had fun each week watching you play soccer!  Can't wait until next season!  Now on to basketball in a couple of months!

 Thanks to all the grandparents who came and supported the boys in their games!

HB GRAMPS!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Grandpa Pug!

We love our grandpa pugmire so much!  He is an amazing man and truly deserves to have the best day ever.   We love you Gramps!!  You are the best!  

Marry me....

Ten years ago today Nate asked me to marry him? Wow, I can't believe that it has been that long since then, it seems like it was just here.  He totally surprised me!!  I was living in Orem at the time and was not expecting it!  We both knew from the first date that we were meant to be in this journey together, I just didn't think that he would be able to surprise me when the time came!  I tease him because he actually asked me on Friday the 13th!  So whenever things aren't going perfectly I say well you might have cursed us by asking me on that day!  

Love you Nate!  If you asked me again today to marry you, I would still say YES !

Holy Batman!

We decided to have Peyton's family birthday party last Saturday because the weather was finally decent enough to have it outside!  

Peyton wanted a BATMAN party this year!! According to him he loves "all superheros" so this year it was BATMAN.  

He got a ton of presents and had so much fun celebrating with all of his cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents! 

He was super excited about his cake because he got to pick it out all by himself!

Thanks to all who came and celebrated Peyton's day with him!!  It meant so much to him!!

Peyton's Day!

So yesterday was of course Peyton's birthday!! He was so excited all day long!  After we got the older boys off to school Nate, Brynlei, and I took Peyton out to lunch.  We let him choose and of course he chose IN-N-OUT.  He loves their burgers!  The rest of the day we did activities of his choosing and then came dinner.  We went to TEXAS ROADHOUSE of course.  He could not wait to get on the horse and get his picture taken!  He is such a stud!  Then we came home opened more of his presents, blew out candles, ate another cake, and then called it a night.  He was super exhausted by then, that he crashed after he got out of the tub.

What a handsome birthday boy!!

We love you lil' dude!

Four years ago......

Peyton Daniel Abbott joined our family! 

We have been so blessed to have Peyton in our family.  He brings such a sweet and fun spirit into our home each day!  We love him so much and want to wish him the happiest birthday ever!!

He was such a sweet and mellow baby....

What a big boy he has grown up to be!

FOUR things we LOVE about Peyton:

1.  He is always trying to make us laugh!  

2.  He loves us so much and tells us on a daily basis at least 4, 9, or 15 times! :)

3.  He worships his older brothers and loves to wrestle with them (he usually wins them).  He is the toughest kid around!

4.  He has the biggest smile and superhero heart!  

We love you Peyter-Pie!

Just thought I would share......

As certain challenges and needs (with my children) have come to me  I often find myself being and feeling inadequate as a mother.  I know that I am not nor will I be the perfect mother, but I do know that I LOVE my children with every ounce of my soul.  I always have known that my Father in Heaven has loved me (even when I have been at the lowest of lows).  I have always trusted his love for me, but nothing made it more evident than when I became a mother.  I had never truly felt my own worth, but when I was pregnant with Karter I knew that I finally had worth.  I knew that God trusted me to take care of this baby and love it like he does.  It scares me sometimes knowing what a huge responsibility we have as parents, but I also know that Heavenly Father is right there every step of the way.  I don't have all the answers when it comes to my children and their needs (I wish they would've come with their own manual:)), but I know that no matter what, my love for them will never stop growing.  As long as they KNOW that they are loved then I will be able to work all the other stuff out.  I love my kids and I wish we can have more because they teach me everyday and make me a better person everyday that they are here with me! So I may not be the perfect mother (although I strive to be) I know that someday my children will truly know and understand how much I love each and every single one of them!
