Happy Birthday Nic

Nic turned 27 on October 24th. For his birthday, we got FRONT ROW tickets for the USC vs. U of A football game down in Tucson (We were about 10-15 yds away from the team) Nic got to shake hands with the head coach for the USC Trojans, Pete Carroll. I will never forget the look on his face. This was the best birthday present I think he could ever have. We had a wonderful weekend. The game was a close one. Definetely a nail bitter but the Trojans prevailed and kicked the Wildcats butt. This trip it was just Nic and I. Brooklee stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Finch's. As always had a good time playing with Brodey, Nellie and Jaxers. She couldn't stop talking about all the fun things she did. Thanks Mom, Dad and Ammon for taking such good care of her for us. She ALWAYS has a blast when she is over there. (And she never wants to leave as you saw first hand Sunday night) I would also like to thank Aunt Annie and Uncle Brent. Everytime we go to the valley we stay with them. They go all over the valley with us to shop and we always have so much fun. We love you guys and thanks for the hospitality. Next time we will bring Brooklee. FIGHT ON TROJANS!!!!

Danny has OFFICIALLY been PROCESSED

My little brother went through the Snowflake Temple this past Thursday to take out his endowments before he leaves to go on his mission. What a sweet experience it was. For the first time ever me, my mom, my dad and Danny were all in the temple TOGETHER. That still gives me the chills just thinking about it. The only sad thing was Nic was not able to be with us. He UNFORTUNATELY had to work. (Stupid power plant) Sorry there aren't any pics of this. It was late and dark when we got out, but maybe before he leaves we can go again and take some. We are thinking his farewell will be the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Then a week later off we go to take him to the MTC. Just a few more weeks of him being home and off he goes. (I am a little worried time will just FLY right on by.)

TWO OF A KIND

Brooklee's best friend in the whole entire world is Sariah Anderson. Her dad and Nic work together out at the plant and this is how we have gotten to know them. The Anderson's are the coolest family and we have so much fun when we get together. Any chance we get Brooklee wants Sariah to come play at her house. When these two get together, boy do they have a good time. Brooklee wanted me to put these pictures on here because she told me today, "I love Sariah. She is my friend."

Favorite Time of the Year

FALL is by far my favorite time of the year. Our house has been decorated since the first game of college football was on. To me that is the first sign of fall. Sounds a little weird huh? We were able to take a trip up on the mountain with Mom and Dad Finch and Ammon on General Conference weekend. Oh, how I love trips on the mountain. Especially listening to Dad's stories of growing up. Those are hilarious. It was so pretty up there. The leaves are starting to change. There is a chill in the air and on this particular weekend we even saw some a little bit of snow covering the ground. I only remembered to take a few pictures. Wish I would have gotten some more. Next year! Hope you all are enjoying this beautiful time of the year because CHRISTMAS is just around the corner!!!

Look Who Turned THREE

Brooklee turned THREE on Sept 28th!! What a sweet and at times fisty spirit she brings to our home. We celebrated her birthday with having some parties and yummy cake. We let her pick out what cake she wanted and Strawberry Shortcake it was. We love you sis!
