BYU vs. Wyoming

On Saturday, November 7th we had Steve's family over for the BYU game. It was so much fun to have them over and to finally just have a relaxed Saturday. Kathy made this wonderful cheese potato soup in soup bowls that was delicious, and then we had 4 types of dip, 7 layer, creamy salsa, Uncle Joe's dip and salsa. And we had brownie's and ice cream. We were all very full by the end of the day. If BYU is always going to win 52 to zip while we have a game day party then I think we should always have a game day party!

Steve and his dad wore matching shirts they looked like little twins, they even sit the same way check out their hands in this pic.

Halloween!

We had a super fun Halloween this year. It was really nice having it on a Saturday. We had a relaxed morning, then we made visits to all of the nieces and nephews. First stop was to see JJ as a bumble bee. He looked really cute. And Cindy was so nice to feed our husbands dinner that evening.

Then we went to the Buells, and these 50's girls looked darling. My sister heather made these costumes isn't she incredible. Unfortunately I was not blessed with this talent like my sister. We even got to go trick-or-treating to a few doors with these cuties.

Then we headed over to Steve's brother Dan's house to see Katelyn and Drew dressed up as dora and boots. They looked really cute.

Then we headed over with Steve's parents and sister over to his brother Rob's new house, Rob just got married last night. And then they all came over to our place to watch the Dark Knight. All in all it was a good Halloween.

Grandma's Funeral

On Monday October 26th was my Grandma's funeral. It was a beautiful service. My dad had the idea to have the granddaughters to all of the talks and prayers since only the grandsons participated in my grandpa's funeral last year. Everyone did so well. It was so great being able to remember all of the great memories of my grandmother. And all of the girls did such a job on their talks.

This is my Dad (my grandma's only son placeing a flower on her coffin).

Here is all three of her daughters

Afterwards we had a luncheon with some great mexican food, and we watched videos of grandma's life. I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful example in my life.

Here is all of the granddaughters and some great granddaughters that came to the funeral, she had way more granddaughters than grandsons.

Minnie Hamilton Bagley

My Grandma Bagley peacefully past away this morning. She has always been such a wonderful example to me. She has always been very talented, she had a beautiful voice, she could play the piano, she could sew, and she was a wonderful cook, but most importantly she was the most loving virtueous woman. I have never heard a negative word come out of her mouth. She never criticized any of her grandkids but loved us with all her heart. Just on Monday night I was thinking about my weaknesses and how I need to be a better person, and I thought about my Grandma Bagley as an example of how I need to be better. And I told Steve that night I need to be more like my Grandma Bagley. I hope that when I am her age I can be at least half the woman she was. I hope that my Grandma and Grandpa had a sweet reunion this morning as they greeted each other in Heaven.

This is the last time I saw my Grandma before she past away, but I know that we will see each other again some day.

Calli Danielle Merris

October 10th was an eventful day because not only did Rob and Breanna get married but also Calli Danielle was born at the exact same time as their sealing. She is a beautiful little girl and we are glad to have her be apart of the family. I got to meet her on Sunday since we were up in Idaho for the wedding, Steve unfortunately was sick so I went to the hospital on Sunday afternoon and got to hold and meet her for the first time.
