My biggest kid

When we were taking family pictures I thought it would be nice to update the picture we have of just the two of us... this is how well that went. Every time my friend Debbie would say 1,2,3 and then snap the picture Aaron would do this. Ha ha, he thinks he is so funny! Actually he is most of the time... but I have figured out why my boys love to torment each other... there dad sets such a great example!

Go BSU

We have loved watching the BSU games as a family this year. We were so bummed that they lost to Nevada! Here about a month ago we decided to take some family pictures at our friend's house in the mountains. Jerimiah said he would only agree to take pictures if we could wear our BSU gear. OK! Here is my favorite... I just love Aaron and Jerimiah's expression in this picture. I'm so lucky! I am surrounded by a bunch of wonderful boys!

Pumpkin Patch Fun

We went to the pumpkin patch with our friend Debbie... Eli says she is his favorite mom! Little stinker!

This photo cracks me up because it really is the sky behind them, but it looks so fake! I could never get a photo with the sky this perfect on purpose! Hahahah

Crafting

Halloween fun with the girls. Mom and Samantha came to visit for the weekend and we made these little signs. We had so much fun! I wish we could get together more often!

Cub Scout Day Camp

Justice had a great time this summer at his Day Camp. He learned lots of new things about the State of Oregon, he learned how to shoot a bow and arrow, and loved it! He also learned how to tie a tie. It was a lot of fun for the boys and Justice did a great job with everything.

Thursday Night Lights

Jerimiah is having a great time playing football and we have had a great time watching him. I wish these pictures were clearer but this is what we've got. Jerimiah plays free safety, tight end, and wide receiver. During this game we watched him block this same kid over and over, then finally he blows past him and runs down the field about 20 yards and catches this pass... I thought I was going to be sick for a minute- I was so nervous for him! He was so awesome! Just reached up and caught it! Way to go Jerm!

Things Eli has learned since starting kindergarten

Eli started kindergarten this fall and has been having a great time. He goes all day so it's been kind of rough on me... I miss having the little guy around and hearing his off the wall comments.
So I decided to keep track of a few "other" things Eli is doing. Since starting school Eli has been very interested in climbing. He has taught himself how to go all the way across the monkey bars... very impressive, he has learned how to climb up and over a six foot chain link fence... which he did at recess and got busted, he has also decided that he will have a better view of things from the top of our carport (which is two stories high)... so he climbs to the top and sits up there just looking around. (This may be our fault for moving to a house at the bottom of all the hills) He is now grounded from climbing- wish me luck! ha ha
