Cooling off and more awards


Joshua received the Super Achiever award for his class.  He also got a perfect report card again.  :)

Dallin was awarded the music award.  He also had a perfect report card.  I am so proud of my boys.  :)
We watched Rylan on Saturday while Jenny went for a run.  Evan is known for trying to eat other babies.  He gets so excited when other babies are around.  Rylan sruvived.  :)  Evan was pretty nice.
 

Dallin had Thanksgiving in his class.  He had a great time.  He is really enjoying school.  He made the cute hat and ate turkey and pumpkin pie.

It cooled off around here so now the leaves are changing colors.  It is beautiful!  It also my favorite time of year!  Leah, Evan, and I met friends at the park and I took a few pictures of the fun.I didn't capture the beauty of the trees, but the kids are cute.  :)

They were loving the swings. 

We are excited for Thanksgiving next week.  I love Thanksgiving!

House Update


Our house got a little face lift.  We got a new fence, painted the house, and new gutters.  My neighbor caming running over when she saw we were fixing it up, and asked if we were moving.  ha ha  She told me she prays every day that we won't move.  It is nice to be loved.  :) 

This boy has been giving us some grief.  He hasn't slept well at night for like 2 months.  He had a tooth come in, cold, ear infection, and another tooth come in.  It has been brutal.  The antibiotics really hurt his belly.  He hated them.  He would glue his mouth shut and spit anything out that I tried to put in.  It was awful.  It made his sleeping worse.  I decided to try probiotics to help his belly and he did so much better after that.  We are still working on sleeping better at night but I will at least get a few hours in before, he wakes up crying.  After starting the probiotics he wanted to eat food!  I have never had a baby who didn't want to eat up to this point, but finally at 7 almost 8 months he decides to eat.  With the added food he has some gas issues still even after the probiotics but I'm working on blancing it all out and hoping to get him back to sleeping through the night soon.

Depsite being awake a lot at night, he is so happy during the day.  It doesn't matter how hard his night was he is happy during hte day.  It helps a lot that he is happy.  It has been hard for me to get things done due to being so tired, but somehow we are making it.

I posted this picture on facebook a while back.  I love it!  My kids are adorable!   Joshua and Dallin are loving school.  Joshua is working on his Science Fair project and busy earning personal pan pizzas with AR points.  Dallin is reading well and loves drawing.  The boys play soccer all the time.  I will tell the boys no balls in the house and they will start to kick a pillow around.   Leah is a good helper and enjoys going for runs with me.  Leah loves to sing.  She also loves to "do" my hair.  I love that Leah and Evan enjoy running with me in the stroller, so I don't have to get up earlier to run.

End of Soccer Season


We ended the season with a GOAL!!!!  Dallin worked so hard and finally got his goal.  I loved his coaches reaction to his goal!  He ran up and gave Dallin a hug afterward.  Oh wait, not a hug, Dallin told me he just lifted him in the air.  ;) 

He almost scored here.  The ball stopped right at the goal post.  Coach Bubba visibly disappointed.  ha ha

 Joshua had no fear playing with kids much bigger them him.  I am so proud of my boys!

Joshua did so well, he almost scored so many times.  The boys improved so much over the season.  They got a trophy as well.  They are excited for the Spring season!

Happy Halloween!

My little Jedi clan.

They all look great and a had a great time at the Trunk or Treat.  Joshua ended up giving away all of his candy.  ha ha  I guess the bigger kids kept asking for pieces and he obliged.  Sweet Kid! No worries though Leah got enough for everyone.  :)
