Fall Activities

Fall has come upon us and we have not slowed down one bit. Each of the kids have been so busy and the days just seem to fly by so fast! Here is what each of us has been up too.

 Little B learned how to ride his bike with no training wheels!! He also got to visit the Staheli Farms and the children's museum for preschool. He's loving school and playing soccer he's turned back into our scoring machine. He also had his very first sleepover with Trey and his friends.(Our friends are awesome!)  He still melts my heart and will sometimes admit he's still my baby :)

Miss Elle Belle has started choir, student leadership, soccer and this past week volleyball. She's keeping us on our toes and is doing an amazing job at everything.  She's so excited to sing at various business on Dec. 5th. She also scored her very first point in her first game of v-ball. She loves to cook with us in the kitchen and has gotten to be quite good at making scrambled eggs. She our princess and is becoming so grown up that it brings me to tears to think about it.

Trey has continued to play super league baseball and played in a tournament, but no longer plays on the Vipers. We have started a new team named the Outlaws.  It's been quite adventurous to say the least.  Cale is the head coach and I'm helping the team mom. Trey has been killing it on the soccer field this year and scored so many points.  I was told the other day that he's so good that he should do competitive league.  What a difference a year has made.  He has also kept busy with school and scouts.  The poor kid never gets a break but he loves it. Through it all he's still my sweet hearted kid.

In between all of these activities we've still managed to have an epic water balloon fight, sleepover, girls night at tuachan,  and so much more.  The kids even made dinner for us one night and loved it! It's busy but we are having so much fun as a family.

Baptism

Our beautiful Elle Belle was baptized this last Saturday Sept. 13, 2014 It was a wonderful baptism and we are so grateful for our family that could make it to share her day with her. We had a long week leading up to the baptism as the time for it kept changing right up until 2 days before the event.  Talk about trying to plan and re plan and re plan again. But it all worked out. After the baptism we went to the splash pad park and played in the water and on the ball field.  We got my mom out hitting the baseball and the kids got their aunts and uncles to play in the water with them.  There were lots of card games, swimming and fun. Thank-you to everyone especially Dan and Grandpa W. We love you all.

My beautiful girl. 

Thank-you to Uncle Dan and Grandpa Whitney for baptizing her and confirming her.

 The splash pad and ball field

Silly kids and auntie!

 As if the splash pad wasn't enough water they kids had a water balloon fight in the back yard and they went swimming at the hotel pool for a few more hours.  

Fun Days

Brex started preschool a week after the kids started school.  He is going 5 days a week this year and has 4 different teachers.  Normally he was only going to go 3 days but than I put him in on T/Th for a reading program that our preschool does and he has loved it so far.  His teachers are Ms Mary, Ms Brandi, Ms. Ronda, Ms. Hilary. It's going to be a great year for him.

 His T/Th class at the ice bucket challenge. His teacher Ms Brandi did it with our staff.

 Playing with shaving cream writing their names.

Cute Class of his

 Trey got invited to play on the 10u team for a scrimmage game and had a fun time. 

 Riding a mini bike the boys had a blast.

Don't my boys look a like love them

 We've had quite a bit of rain and the boys had a blast playing in it.

 Silly Faces

 This boy of mine was racing the day after it rained really hard.  It was picture day and he turned a corner and in his words he tried to drift and ended up sliding like you do into 2nd base. He got all muddy right before his turn to take pictures. Boys will be boys and he now will be doing retakes. :)

 Nothing like a little water balloon baseball on a hot day during labor day weekend.

 Elle and I had a mommy daughter day.  We went shopping for her baptism dress.  We went to 5 different stores, lunch and made a few other stops.  I had a blast with my baby girl.

 We were challenged to the als ice challenge by the kids friends Karter and Hailee.  The kids had a fun time and challenged their cousins Zack and Codi and their Uncles Dan and Brandon. 

Soccer started this last weekend and all 3 of the kids scored 2 goals each. It was awesome to see them out there playing again.  I am so proud of each of them. 

 This little man has captured our hearts.  He wanted his face green and his sister was only too happy to help him achieve that look.  Fun little story: I asked him if I could call him my little man and he said no. When I asked what I could call him he said "Cutie Patutie" He is that for sure! Life has gotten busy but I wouldn't change it for anything as I get to spend loads of time with my family and enjoy these awesome fun days.
