A Morales Minute

Homecoming weekend was fun for everyone. Tyler had a great football game Saturday evening. Because Jaime and I were with Olivia to get her ready and take group pictures for the homecoming game we didn't make it to see Tyler play. I was so grateful to Bel and Chris for taking Tyler and supporting him at his game. I felt bad missing it but it was a regular season game and this was Olivia's Senior homecoming dance (and Queen as well) so I didn't feel like I could miss it.    Tyler did awesome and loved being there. He's number 30.  Lindsey and Jacob drove down to Utah to meet up with Grandma and Grandpa Naylor. Then they all went to the BYU football game with Brian and Summer's family. Lindsey had so much fun. She loves to be with family.  This was Mom's first time being to a BYU game. I know Dad enjoyed having Mom there with him to enjoy the excitement and enthusiasm of the stadium.   

After the Gravel Pit football game (Chiawana High vs Pasco High) Cody ran up to Olivia in the stands and held up this sign asking her to Homecoming.  Fast forward a week and Olivia comes home Friday and tells me that she's on the homecoming court! I was so excited for her. So for the next week, Homecoming week, Olivia and the rest of the court was busy helping with the week's activities and going to support other teams at their games. She's had a lot of fun.  Last night was the homecoming football game. I had fun helping Olivia get her hair done, picking how to do her nails and then watching her interact with her friends and others on the homecoming court prior to the game. This is Olivia and Eli. They went to Homecoming last year together. They're both on the court this year as seniors.  Waiting in line for the Corvettes to start driving around the field.  During halftime the girls rode around the track in Corvettes up to the front of the stadium.  Olivia looked so hap

Koda is now one year old! He didn't come home until December when Brian brought him up but we thought we'd celebrate Koda's birthday rather than his "gotcha" day.  I made him pumpkin cupcakes with peanut butter frosting and topped it with his favorite treat, a peanut butter buddy. At first he just sniffed it. Then slowly started licking it and then licked off the frosting. The cake was too big for him to start biting in to.  So we cut it up and he downed that thing.  Happy birthday my little Koda bear! He's still so curly and teddy bear like. Which is what I wanted when we chose him. 😍 He loves to cuddle, loves to play, and he's getting better at learning tricks.   

Here's some of Olivia's senior pictures. They turned out beautifully. She's so gorgeous. I love her so much and want so many good things for her. She's always in my prayers. I can't believe she's graduating this spring. I'll miss her so much when she does move out. And I know the house will be so quiet with her gone! That'll be the hardest for me.
