1st Grade Blog

Alex's teacher Mrs.Larson does a pretty amazing job of taking pictures and videos of special things they do in the class. She has a blog too and updates it pretty often...check it out. It's pretty stinking cute to see Alex in his class.

Sports Saturdays

Not sure what i'm going to do when October is over and we don't have two games to go to ever Saturday. 

It sure is starting to get pretty chilly in the mornings though and Alex's games are pretty early, usually 8 or 9am. Alex just happen to have a bright orange beanie that worked perfect with his Lava uniform until he warmed up a bit. 

Then it was off to Braxton's football game...the first playoff game against Layton. I guess Layton has had their eye on Brax's Warrior team so they learned their numbers and who are the players to watch and what kind of plays they use. So the team switched things up last minute and they all swapped jerseys so they wouldn't have their normal numbers. So for this game Brax was #39. 

Brax is right in the middle on the next two pictures

They won 12-2!!! How cute are they enjoying the victory! 

Next playoff game will be this next Sat against another Layton team. 

Huntsville Half 2013

I've been back in the running groove really great this year. I normally don't do a whole lot of races and mostly just focus on running on my own. However, I lost a bet and as a result I ended up running the Huntsville Half Marathon in the upper valley. I ended up loving it and having a fantastic fun. I trained great for it and was well prepared. My goal was to finish in 2 hrs and 30 mins and i finished in 2 hrs 25 mins so i was very happy!! 

I couldn't resist sharing this picture of me crossing the finish line...HAHAHAHA. I really pushed myself the last mile and ran hard, i'm guessing I was taking a deep breath but it looks pretty hilarious! 

Halloween Crafts

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!! 

And i LOVE making decorations for my house. I mostly do the wood crafts. This year i did these cute little ghosts and a witch hat. 

AND i have to toot my own horn...look at these pumpkins!! Grew them myself!! First time I was able to grow any and the plant went wild, these are all from ONE plant! Pretty decent size pumpkins if I do say so myself. 

US

I sure have a blast with my boys! Snapping a picture without one of them pulling a face of some sort is hard to do, but i wouldn't have it any other way. 

Here's a little update on our basement...we finished it a few years ago but never really put together the main room. So we've decided to get it put together piece by piece...so far we did the TV, surround sound, little entertainment center with a nice fake fire (puts out heat though!), and some curtains! (We had a TV down there on the wall mount but it was a lot smaller...and we didn't want to move the wall mount so that's why this TV is so high up, but we'll make it work with some decorating.) Once we pay off all this fun stuff we'll work on getting some furniture down there. 

We also recently got a little new addition to the Hammond Family...meet Stuart! 

I wanted to get a little kitten to spunk up our big old lazy cat Blackjack...plus I thought the kids would enjoy having a active cat. And that's exactly what we got, he sure is active...more like Crazy!! But he's a lot of fun. 

I let him roam around outside the other day for the first time...this picture cracks me up, I swear the whole time we were out there Blackjack was saying "let him just runaway, maybe he'll just runaway, is he going to runaway"...Blackjack isn't a huge Stuart fan. 

Playing Hard

We really couldn't be more proud of these boys. They both are completely dedicate to their sport and teams. Love being a Mom of these two!! 

Check out the raise eyebrow hahaha...Ken does the same exact thing!! 

Braxton's team remained undefeated the ENTIRE season!! These pictures are from the game a couple of weeks ago when they played Ogden. We forgot the camera for their last game against Roy but now they are moving on to the playoffs!! Go Warriors!!
