Hey Tyler and Blake Check This Out!!

Grant has a fascination with football and football teams. He is always wanting to know the ranking of teams and who is best. He then figures out who is the best team and who he will play for when his gets big! His favorite teams this week are TCU and Florida. I told him his brothers would not stand for it and will tackle him down. Our neighbor who works for TCU caught wind of Grant's loyalties and brought him this gift! Grant could not wait to get it on! I am afraid that we have a true rebel in the house.

How does this happen when we are all BYU fans through and through!! ;)

Ward Trunk Or Treat Oct. 30,2009

We had our annul Ward Trunk or Treat on Friday night. It is always so much fun to see all of the darling kids and of course the adults that really catch the spirit of it all. Halloween would not be the same with out the Malmberg's always dressing up. Rick and Barbie make the best Frankenstein and bride ever! Rick, Raleen and my Steve at the party. Steve was a tourist. The problem is that he always takes off half of his costume so it looks like he just doesn't know how to dress! HA

This was so darling. Michelle Kohner taught some of the ward members to dance (ahead of time) "thriller" They just all converged to the center of the gym and started dancing. It was such a fun surprise! You can see Camille with the conductor hat on.

One of the funnest things of the night was to see one of Steve's counselors (Tom Honeycutt)
dance. He and his wife Toni did a GREAT job. They are in their 60's. Tom was a gymnast in his younger days and you could sure tell. He knew how to dance!

Carly and Grant waiting for things to begin. Grant said he was a "Scary Cowboy" Notice the teeth! ;)

Carly and Grant getting ready to go trunk or treating. It was fun to have Carly home for the weekend. She flew home to do wedding prep and for her fabulous Bridal Shower. Pictures to following in the previous post.

Carly and Grant dressed up to go trick or treating the next night for Halloween. We met up with Grant's friend Nathan King and went door to door. Grant always loves that night! We still have a huge bowl full of candy....Of course all of the good chocolate is gone. It is time to throw the rest away.

It was a very busy but a super fun weekend! I am so glad we have Grant so that we can be young again.

Carly's Beautiful Bridal Shower!

My sweet friends Dina and Christine offered to give Carly a Bridal Shower this past week while she was in town preparing for last minute wedding plans.... As you can see by the pictures it was a beautiful event! The table was stunning. Yummy homemade soups and a variety of homemade and Harvest Grains bread. The presentation was to die for. The picture does not do it justice!

These pumpkins were given out as favors to each guest.

The entrance table. Stunning...

Christine and Dina. The Masterminds. They are both fabulous cooks and my name for Dina is "Miss Presentation" There is no better combination of great minds than these two! I love them!!

Carly and our dear friend Paula Bezzant. Paula was Carly's YW President when we first moved to Keller. They hit it off from the beginning!

It was a fabulous turn out and just so much FUN!! Thanks to all those who came to celebrate with us. Carly was so overwhelmed and thankful to all of those who came to support. She said WOW! That was amazing. It love it!!

This was the dessert TABLE! Yes dessert had it own table. Everything on it was sinful..it was that good!

More friends..Connie Hickson and Kelly Shehee talking to Carly.

This was so fun. Christine had Blake ask Joel some questions and then she played it at the shower. They would pause the video and ask Carly the same questions before they played Joel's answers. I must say that they did pretty good. Blake did a great job as MC. FUN!!

Another view of the beautiful table!

Fun friends...

Carly was "showered" with SO MANY wonderful gifts to start her new life with Joel. She loved this sign that read.."And they lived happily ever after" And I know they will.

Carly is my "Old Fashioned" girl. She loves retro anything. She got some darling aprons that she was so excited about. It was such a warm and wonderful evening. I came home so grateful for all of the wonderful friends we have. Thank you!

Grants School Parade!

Grant had his school Halloween parade on Thursday. It is always so much fun to see all of the kids dressed up. They get so excited.

Grant and his buddies Jack and Jace. They have been in the same class together for the past 3 years. What great and darling boys!

The whole class...

Pullin up his pants! I thought those things were supposed to be skin tight!

Carly was home for the weekend. We all had lots of fun!

A Busy But Fun Saturday 10-24-2009

Grant participated in a kids Monster Triathlon on Saturday. He was so excited and we did not have any trouble getting him up early...even though he said it was earlier than school and even church!! It was also pretty chilly so I was proud that he did not wine or complain coming put of the pool and running outside. Here he is showing off his number 315. They swam 1 length of the pool.Dad helping Grant get ready for the bike portion of the race.

How darling is this!!

Here they are finishing up the biking.

Coming in to finish the run...

The finish!

Grant and his friend Williams Smith. The Smith's have done this for 3 years and we were so glad they told us about it. What a fun memory!!

Next we were off to the Stake Volleyball Tournament...Our girls worked well together (it did hurt that we had 2 girls that play Varsity for the High School! :) We ended up taking 2nd in the Stake. Good job Camille!!

Then it was off to Grant's soccer game. This is the second year he has played with this little team and we love it!. Great group of boys and the the coach is great as well....

The team. All of these little boys go to church together. They have been great little friends.

Like I said it was a busy but FUN day! So grateful to have Camille and Grant still at home...what would we do without them?!
