Road Trip to the MTC

Haley said good-bye to Brett, Tia and Landon on Monday night. 

 Haley said this was the hardest good-bye of all...she loves her little Lando!

Cassidy had to leave early for school and didn't stick around for a picture!

I am so bummed!

After all the good-byes, it was time to hit the road.

We loved seeing the snow at Jacob's Lake

Although it was a very quick trip,
it was a great way to spend our last day with Haley.

We sure love that girl of ours!

A Bunch of Birthdays!

 'Tis the season that we celebrate birthdays at the Brown house.

Clark (in August) and Cassidy (mid November) each got their own birthday posts 

because they were lucky enough to not get caught in the family birthday crunch!

 Curt turned 49 and requested spice cake

 Bennett was well taken care of by the freshman girls!

A Heart attack and TP'd were the night's adventures.

 Bennett's request for his 15th birthday was banana cream pie

 He loved collecting all his free birthday food!

 Bennett and his "money tree"

 Haley worked on her 20th birthday and was spoiled by the office staff.

 She came home to vanilla frosted white cupcakes and a camera for her mission

Her happy birthday hug from this crazy huge dog!

 Cassidy and I joined Tia for her 23rd birthday celebration at Liberty Market

Landon got in on the fun and was such a good baby!

And to top it all off...I turned 48 and was gifted these yummy cupcakes!

We are all another year older, and hopefully wiser, too!

Happy Birthday to Us!

Blessed

 Landon Brett Allred

 was given a name and blessing by his father 

on November 25, 2012.

It was an honor to be present and hear Brett give his son such a beautiful blessing.

We are so lucky to call this cute little guy our grandson!

(Brett and Tia are pretty awesome, too!)

Landon wore the same blessing outfit that both

Clark and Bennett wore when they were blessed.

 Can you tell that we can't get enough of this cute baby?!

 He is loved and adored by everyone!

Great Grandpa and Grandma Clark

with their first great grandchild!

Most of the Allred clan was in the valley for Thanksgiving weekend, 

so it worked out perfectly for them to be at Landon's blessing.

(I am so sad we didn't get a big Allred family picture!)

After the meetings, everyone came over for a light lunch of soup, salad and rolls

before they headed back to their homes in Willcox and Bowie.

 Look at how many cute cousins Landon has in the Allred Family!

He is #29! (I think)

It was so fun to visit with Brett's siblings! 

 Tia and Landon are blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family!

October Break

 Bennett finished up his swim season

 Clark was cheered on at his football game by Jacob, Isaac and Austin

Clark rolled his ankle at practice on the uneven practice field....UGH!

which resulted in getting an x-ray.  

Thankfully, nothing was broken, but he will miss the next  few football games.

 Sat in the press box with the coaches during the game
and listened to the play calling

  tried to avoid me after the game...he hates having his picture taken!

Good luck with that when you are on crutches!

 Landon attended his first football game and was decked out in his

 Baby Toro shirt!

 Bennett had a garage sale and sold a bunch of JUNK,

but made some great money!

 we loved on this little guy as much as possible!

But the biggest event of the week was....

HALEY'S MISSION PAPERS 

ARE SUBMITTED IN RECORD TIME!

Stay tuned...
