Busy

Fall has gotten off to a busy start for us. We have Abby and Brynn playing soccer. A few weeks ago Abby scored her first goal, in fact she scored 2 goals in that game!
Leah is enjoying kindergarten. She has done very well in fact her teacher chose her for citizen of the month for September. One day last week she told me she cried at school that day. I asked her why she said that Brynn didn't walk her to her classroom. I had no idea that her sisters were walking her to her class. We are grateful for our family! (FYI Brynn thought Abby was taking Leah to her class that day.)

Abby and Brynn are also playing Iceless Hockey. This is their first season playing and they are really liking it. It's also a lot of fun to watch. Even better there are no practices...you just show up and play!


One day I was helping the older girls with homework. I heard Shea go out the garage door. This is what I saw when I went to check on her. Way to remember to put on your helmet Shea! Never mind that you don't have shoes on, you are in the middle of the street and your helmet is on backwards and it looks like no one has even tried to comb your hair (although I promise it was done sometime that day).


Lilly trying solid foods for the first time. She is now 6 months old and sits up by herself, rolls all over the floor and wants to keep up with everyone else! She is a lot of fun and I am so glad I have such great helpers.

Lilly

Lilly had a chance to meet her Great-Grandma Hart while we were in California.
Just a fun picture!


Vacation

The kids have been back in school for close to a month. We are enjoying having a routine again even as hectic as it is. Here are some of the highlights from our trip we took to California. Leah's birthday party at Grandma's house, i.e. trying to stay out of the way of wedding preparations.
Birthday breakfast at Ruby's





Bowling



Eating at some of our favorite restaurants



How many kids can you fit in that pool. Maybe we can convince grandma and grandpa it's time to upgrade their pool.





Enjoying the beach














Hitting some favorite parks.

Just for Fun


Sara's Wedding

My beautiful sister Sara got married in the Los Angeles Temple Saturday August 22, 2009 to Mike Barnett. I was so happy that I could be a part of it. My family is so important to me and I was so proud of her. Thanks Sara for setting a good example for my daughters! Waiting to see the bride and groom outside the temple

Enjoying the chocolate fountain. I think Leah's outfit was the first causualty of the evening
