Jayden's Surprise Party!

This past month, I have been working diligently to give Jayden a surprise party. I wanted to do something fun since his birthday always lands real close to Thanksgiving. We are always gone, or all his friends are gone so we never really get to have a party.
This year we did a surprise...and I think I didn't a pretty good job :0)

We had pizza, soda, cake and ice cream. Then we all watched a movie that I made for Jay filled with picture of him from the time he was born until now. The song I put it to was "Don't worry, be happy". It was the best song I could think of that would fit Jayden.

Then I gave all the kids 4 tickets. They got to buy popcorn, soda, or candy with their tickets and then watch the newest release movie "The last Air bender". It was a lot of fun!

I think we surprised Jayden pretty well. It took him a second to even realize what was going on.

Jayden's Arrow of Light

On Tuesday, November 16 Jayden received his Webelo, Arrow of Light, as well as crossed over into boy Scouts.
It was a very special night for him especially since I am his Webelo Leader. The Arrow of Light is like the Eagle of Boy Scouts. It is the highest rank you can receive and is the only badge (along with the religious knot) that can be carried over into boy scouts.

Our Thankful Tree

For Family Home Evening last week we talked about all the things that we have to be thankful for.
We began a "Thankful Tree" contest. We all have until November 22 to win. We are trying to see who can come up with the most things to be thankful for. The rules are:
1.) Each leaf has to be different
2.) No more than three a day

The winner gets to go out to dinner with me or Tyler all by themself.

I am very proud of each of them for really thinking about all the things that they are thankful for! Even Halle has to do hers by herself each day :0)

This is our tree just after one week! I will post our final tree and who won on the 22!

TYLER!!!!

This past week, the FORD Brake Engineers had their quarterly meeting with Link Engineering management. This was an Really big deal - not only was it the ENTIRE Link company (worldwide) but also the ENTIRE Ford Braking department!

Tyler was very recognized by the following:

"Tyler Feltner displays professionalism with the willingness to do whatever it takes! His efforts have helped make the 2013 Police program a success while in California and Grattan. Tyler has no issues jumping in with Ford personnel to get the job done without being asked regardless even if it is a 100 degree parking lot on a set of jack stands on a car that just came off the track and is red hot. Tyler has worked well with all the team members including Vehicle Engineering."

Good Job my Babe :0)

(trying) to take pictures of the kids :0)

I decided to try to take some pictures of the kids today for my super Saturday coming up as well as Christmas cards.
It wasn't as easy as I was hoping. Brooke was like trying to catch a falling star. Then Halle was just posing in every old position she could think of. It was fun....
