I'm finally able to get on here and do some updates. It's be a little wild! Last month Gavin turned 1. It went by so fast! He just doesn't seem like he's a year old - poor little guy. He had a dinosaur cake and got a lot of fun presents. My older kids even play with them. He's still trying to walk. He takes a few steps bit but then gets scared and sits down. He's such a funny kid with lots of personality.



Paige started preschool this month and it loving it. She can't wait to go each time. Everyday she's asking if she has school today. She is so funny. She loves to sing and is always singing a song that she knows or making up her own. The other day she was playing in my shoes and had some of my flip flops on. They have sequins on them so she was calling them dancing shoes. Then she started singing a song about mom's dancing shoes. It was so funny!

Cody started soccer. He's having a good time. He's had a couple of games and even made 3 goals one game. He was so excited. He hasn't made any other ones but it really working on it. He is loving kindergarten. His teacher says he sits quietly at his desk and raises his hand to talk. As far as I know he hasn't had his card changed yet(something they do when they get in trouble. They have to miss part or all of a recess.) Maybe I need to start doing that at home to see if it will work!

Blake is playing football. It's been a little rough on us. The first game he didn't get to play his minimum amount of plays which is 8. That still doesn't seem like anything but he maybe got 6. So we were a little upset. Justin talked to the coach about it and he said Blake was a little scared to get hit, so he had a talk with him and he's done awesome! He's been playing a little bit more, usually on defense, sometimes on kickoffs. He's made some good tackles and hits. They have played 3 games and haven't won yet but there are only 4 or 5 kids on their team that have played before. They are doing really good though and hopefully they will win a game.


We were able to go camping with the Eagar family for Labor Day. It was a lot of fun. The kids rode 4-wheelers and played in the dirt. Blake shot his first chipmunk and thought it was really cool to pick it up with his bare hands even though it was still alive. So yucky! It was a way better experience than the first camping trip. We didn't have any problems with the trailer and the kids slept pretty good.





One more thing. This past weekend Jamie, Jana, Jill, and I were able to go to Thatcher and meet Marcia Lynn McClure. She is the author of a bunch of books that we love. AWESOME books! We were there with a few other women where we got to ask her questions and talk to her. She is so much fun and had the best stories! A lot of things that happen in her books are from real life experiences which makes them even better. Her husband was there with her and he was just as funny. I had a lot of fun and would love to see her again!
