Long time No Blog!!

Wow I have been MIA for sometime now. I really have wanted to sit down and do this but I am so far behind It just stressed me out, so it got pushed back even more, Shame on me!

Well a lot has gone on since my last blog so here we go...

Rain and Monkeybars????

This is what happens when you let your kids play on the monkey Bars when it is raining outside!!

The poor thing ( Kinzie) was over at the play ground and me and Scott were watching Miks football pratice when Halli came Screaming, "Kinzieeeeeeeeeeeee fell she fell! as soon as we saw it we knew it was broken really it was totaly lower then her wrist the Doctor first thought surgery but since she is so young the orthopedist thought she would be ok one it was placed. that was good news! Bad news, broken ulna and radias. She was so good through the whole thing I think Halli was the one who was the most tramatized. Kinzie was so dissapointed about missing a few months Gymnastics but has got all cuaght up and has even mastered her one handed cart whell and is now working on her front and back handsprings

Football

     I love football season it is so fun to watch Mik out there plying footaball he is just so good at it! He eat, sleeps, and breathes football all year and is a walking talking football know it all! His team is great but struggle, I have strong feelings about that but I will keep them to myself. I really do love his coach and am sad this is Mik's last year to play with him. Mik's team did make it to the play offs and was beat out. Mik and his friend Max, who is so sweet just like mik had a ruff time with it but i just love this picture it catches such a sad moment for all of us as this was there playoff game they lost and the final game Mik will play with the Vikings since we have moved out of Pleasant Grove.

     We are all struggling Mik, Scott and I that he will not be able to play football with all his friends next year, but we hope that they all still grow up playing together and can't waite to see them next year even if it across the line of scrimmage! Go Vikings!!! Oh I mean go West lake Thunder!!( Vikings sounds so much better)

This video clip is from his end of the year football banquet! I just love his coach he saved Mik for the end to say goodbye! Love you Coach Lew!

We have a 9 year old!

It is true and I can't believe it either but Mik is 9, where did the time go?

On October 21 Mik turned 9 he has really grown this year and really is looking like a boy and not my little man any more. He of course loves football and any other sport, he loves to hang out with his friends and taunt his little sisters. he is a graet big brother and is happier then ever to finaly have a little brother that he can play football with someday!(The sooner the better)

Halloween

I love when it starts to cool down and the leaves start to fall, but something I love is to get the kids dressed up for Halloween, ecspecially the girls its so fun for them so this year after much debate the girls decided to be bumble bees and they were the cutest little bees around.

 Mik came up with a quick idea after I failed to get his costume together in time he had the great Idea of being Bronco mendenhal, the BYU football coach( of course) it is so funny that he even knew that he puts his playbook in his pants in the back so mik of course had to do the same.

 Colter had a simple one this year and was a BYU football player and indeed a line backer at that with all his chunkiness!

Moving

 Wow it happened fast but we after not owning a home for a few years it is great to be in our own place again. It feels like we have gone backwards alot bot we are just happy to be here even if it is smaller then our previous place and we have a basement and room to grow someday! So we have moved to Saratoga Springs. Wow it sure has changed out here from a few years ago were close to everything and it is only a short drive for Scott to get to work which is great!! The house was already built and has been sitting for almost a year so it was a great deal!This house is full of Character which is what I love!

I just found out that hour house is known as the beach house to most of our neighbors I think a lot of them really don't like the house but I think its just because all the rest off the houses are all tan and ours is green, and not stucco like the rest it is hardy backer which is the new modern siding which I love, and if I were to build my dream house it would use plenty of it because it adds so much character. Any who here are a few shots Ill post more in the future!
