Friday Favorites

Time for another Friday Favorites, I'm not even sure the last time I did a Friday Favorites post, clearly time is going way too fast.

This week has been awful, I'm not going to lie.  Just lots of sadness and tragedies this week.  We're ready to be done...

So today I am showing some of my fave pics from the last few weeks!

Two weeks ago the Vikings played in London on Sunday morning.  We decided to invite people over for football, bloody marys and breakfast!

Brad made 2 egg bakes, I made homemade cinnamon rolls (which are seriously the BEST rolls you will ever make!!) and everyone else brought goodies.  I made a bloody mary bar and we also had mimosas.  It was such a fun change from the normal soups/chilis that we do on Sunday.

On Halloween I made, Shay's Witch's Brew.  Emma of course loved it, but the rest of us thought it was a little too sweet.  I will make it again, but cut back on the sweetness.  Such a fun little treat though!  Alayna and I also made mummy dogs with is just crescent rolls cut into strips and wrapped around the dog.



I'm still so impressed with her makeup work!

Three weeks ago Brad brought our tv out onto the patio and we watched the Vikings play out there, it was amazing!!  

Tonight it won't get above 5 degrees.  Hello Minnesota.

And my favorite pic.  Love this girl.

And finally, I'm asking for prayers.  Brad has a high school friend who lost their 15 year old son to suicide, a good friend of ours who will find out tomorrow if she has an aggressive form of bone cancer, and my brother in law who lost his father this morning from cancer.

Please pray for healing for each of these families.  My heart has been so heavy this week.  Literally every single day has been more bad news.  I just pray that these families can feel our love and prayers...

What We've Been Up To

Happy Tuesday friends!  It's been quite the week around here and I wanted to jump on quick to update with all the happenings.  

Last Monday night my sweet Grandpa Beepa passed away.  He was 90 years old and although we are so sad for us, we are overjoyed for him.  My Grandma Omi passed away 7 years ago, and he has missed her so much.  I love thinking about how happy those two are right now!

He was a wonderful grandpa, lots of memories fishing with him.  He was an avid hunter/fisherman, so to see him in a wheelchair was tough.  His funeral was wonderful, and really captured who he was.

We will miss him!

Tuesday, of course, was Halloween.  Rachel had another volleyball playoff game and Emma went with some friends to a haunted house, so it was just the mouse this year.  Kind of sad to not have all my girls here, but that's life.

Emma did her own makeup here, didn't she do awesome??!!

We ended up going to my sister and brother in laws for supper and Alayna and Will handed out candy for awhile, then the dads took them out to trick or treat for a bit while the moms enjoyed wine!

Thursday Rachel's team had another playoff game, this was to win subsections.  They played amazing and we won it!

She was so excited!  Unfortunately the next game they played to go to state was on Saturday, and she had to miss because we had Grandpa's funeral.  The did not win that game, sadly, so their season is done.  They had an amazing season though and we are so proud of them!

Friday night was full of packing for the weekend and making sure everyone had proper clothes, since it SNOWED!!  The temp didn't get much above 35 degrees.  Ouch.  I have to say though, that I still love snow.  It's so beautiful and peaceful.  Brad went out deer hunting Saturday morning for a few hours before we had to leave.  No luck though.

So this is the first week of NO SPORTS!  Of course last night we had a drivers ed information class for Emma (gulp), so spent the evening at school anyway, haha!

Have a great week!
