Volleyball Season is Here

Softball season is over and volleyball season has started. S is enjoying it a lot. The coach requires all the girls to serve overhand no matter what. The team is doing very well. They have only lost 1 game so far, out of 6 games.

D is on the Move!!

Just an update that D is more mobile now than in the last video we showed you. He loves to walk to the mailbox with mommy everyday as well as walking all over the house.

A future Scientist

We need to do some bragging about our daughter, S. For the last two weeks she has been working on her science fair project. Her question was "Is our galaxy really moving?" For her experiment she set up a telescope in our backyard and with her dad helping her along the way she was able to do a great experiment. Last night at her school science fair they gave away a medal in each area (medical, zoology, earth/space, etc). She won for earth & space. They then presented an award for the overall Grand Prize and YES!!! she won that one as well. She received another medal for the grand prize and a $100 gift certificate to spend at a local mall. We are so proud of her and the great work she did. GREAT JOB SMB!!!

Post Thanksgiving Blessings

I am a little behind in doing this but it is something I have been wanting to do. I kept putting it off to work on the layout of our blog but haven't been able to figure it completely out yet. I will just have to ask the expert, my sister-in-law Alita.

My Top Ten Things I am Thankful for: (These are not in any specific order)

1. A handsome hard-working husband who has blessed my life in many ways. It was worth the long wait.

2. A beautiful teenage daughter who is so helpful around the house and willing to babysit her younger brother.

3. An adorable little boy who I love spending my days with as he learns and grows. He teaches me so much as well.

4. The blessing I have to stay home and be a mom. Thanks Dear.

5. Families - which include parents, siblings (mine and my husband's), their spouses, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and so on. Thank you for being a part of my life and all that I learn from each of you.

6. The Gospel of Jesus Christ being in my life.

7. Temples - a place of peace and refuge.

8. Scriptures

9. My Saviour Jesus Christ

10. A Loving Heavenly Father that hears and answers our prayers.

Bonus -

11. Friends - people who have blessed my life in a lot of ways.

I have so many more to be thankful but this is just a few.

Mom and Dad's World is Changing Fast

Our little boy is growing very fast, too fast. It is fun to see him grow up and learn new things everyday. He loves to walk, especially holding onto things. When we try to have him walk on his own he wants to go faster than he can so he ends up falling. He also loves to talk on the phone. He gets very excited when he gets ahold of a cell phone. If you ever get a call from our cell phone and it is all gibberish, you'll know who it is. He is an added joy to our family.

Softball

S decided to play softball this year. The team didn't start out doing very well but by the end of the season they had made some great improvements and made it to the semi-finals in their tournament. It was great to go to her games and see her improve. She started in the outfield and then was moved to short or 2nd. She has now started volleyball at school.

Halloween

I thought I would include some pictures from Halloween of our family. Our Ward had a Halloween party and every family was to do a booth. We had glow in the dark horseshoes so we decided to make it look like a cemetery. S- decided she wanted to be a boy for Halloween and Mom J bought D his outfit.
