Our Family

We were so grateful we were able to go to California to visit my parents for Thanksgiving. We were also able to see my cute pregnant sister and her hubby, my brother and his wife and 3 kids came out from Utah. It was great to be together. We also were able to celebrate Jordan's

6th Birthday, which landed on Thanksgiving this year. We love you Jordan!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jack!

Mommy loves....he isn't thrilled!

Jack turned 3 on Sept. 7th. We sure love him. He has become quite the toddler. Some how we made it through the rough and tough, mad and never happy stage. Now we are able to communicate with him much better and he is a lot happier. He is so excited for Halloween. They have "Jack the Jack-o-latern" at Seaworld and Jack thinks that is great. He goes around mimicking him by say, "JACK is BACK!" He is all potty trained...which we are finally out of diapers after 10 years! Yes, that helps the budget. Jack is into anything that has to do with sports and pirates. Happy Birthday, little guy! We love you!

First Day of School YIPEE!

Okay...I started this post a LONG time of go, but the computer was freezing on me and I didn't get it through. But better late than never, right?? First Day of School...Mom is in Heaven! JK. I do love my kids, but I was ready for school to start. It was a big year this year. I have 3 out of the 4 going to all day school. Jordan is 5 yrs. old and in Kindergarten. Katelyn is 8 yrs. old and is in 3rd grade. And Abby is in 6th grade (middle school) and is 11 yrs. old. The two younger kiddos are going to Murin Elem. and Abby is attending a charter school called Harmony Science Acedemy. They all have been real excited and have enjoyed the first couple of days. Let's see how long that last....

Pirates

The kid's love playing pirates since watching the Pirate's Plunder at Seaworld last week. Jack gives his best impression of "Walking the Plank" in this video:)

Jordan's Soccer Goal

Jordan made 4 goals this soccer season. Brandon and I had to miss one game because Abby had a dance recital and he made 3 goals while we were gone that one game. This is the one goal that I was able to watch and get on video. As you can hear....his mommy was really proud!

Jack has a Girlfriend! What a Q. T.

Emma and Katie

Emma after enjoying an ice cream treat with Jack and others!

So, this is Emma. Jack loves her! And the great thing about it is I think she actually likes him and puts up with him, which we all know is very difficult with it being Jack! We love Emma...we hope this last for awhile! :) Are there still such things as arranged marriages???

Major Select

Brandon did it!! The Board selected him for Major....we just have to wait our turn to pin it on and get the more $$$ :) Yes! It should be this next Spring. I am proud of you, officer! Good Job! You deserve it! ---kim
