Pre School

Easton started his 1st day of preschool and

LOVED it!! His day is finally here.

I told him "lets get a picture", he knew

right where to go.

His AWESOME bag for school

Reading a book with Miss Staci

Easton Nick and of course Berklie are so excited to

be going to school.

We are so excited for all the things Miss Staci will teach us!

Salt Lake Temple

After church we decided to head down the Salt Lake

to see the beautiful Temple.

We first went to the Conference Center.

It is so beautiful from the top.

The pictures behind the kids are etched into the granite.

My boys were so excited they could see the

Energy Solutions Arena. Go Jazz.

The gang, thanks all for coming with us.

Berklie loved all the pretty flowers. She wanted to take home

one of each. She is such a girl.

I am so happy to be sealed to this cute family!!

I had never seen the Aaronic Priesthood statues

they are pretty cool.

What a fun day we had, the kids were very well behaved

and had fun following the water fountains and

posing for pictures!

I also want to tell Skee how proud of him I am....

he put himself in a Biggest Loser Competition and thru

lots of bike riding, running and skipping out on snacks

came in 3rd place winning $150 and losing 26lbs!

Good job Skee you look awesome!!

Kangaroo Zoo

Saturday was our good friend Austins Birthday so

to celebrate we went to Kangaroo Zoo.

As always the kids had a blast.

Oakley and Berklie

Austin and Easton.

Happy Birthday buddy.

After all the bouncing around Skee decided that

he just couldn't wait anymore for football, so he

gathered a bunch of friends together and had his first Flag

football game, the weather was perfect.

I have to admit I am ready for all the football games

we will be attending. Nothing better than friends, food and football...right??

Bees

Stockton had his first soccer game of the season.

He did awesome! He loves to play soccer. He runs

so fast and always has so much energy.

They call themselves the Bees.

Good game Stockton.

Bountiful Gremlins

Peytons dream has come true, he has been waiting

to play football for 8 years. We couldn't

talk him out of it and I'm glad we didn't. He loves it.

The first week of "tryouts" were crazy there were approx

80 kids ages 8 and 9. They were split into 4 groups

8 and under 70lbs, 8 and over 70lbs

9 and under 70lbs and 9 and over 70lbs.

They worked there butts off in the heat for 2 hours for 4 nights.

After all is said and done the 4 coaches do a draft and pick

the kids they want.

Peyton was drafted to the Black Gremlins team.

Before school they practiced 5 nights a week. Now that school

is here they only get 3 days and games every Saturday.

It is A LOT of commitment, but like I said Peyton LOVES it.

Practicing his tackling skills

#42 waiting to tackle

Getting tackled

Nice form kids (Peyton is the black glove)

Running and more running.

We are really happy with the team we are on.

Here is to Lots more games and practices.

Green Gators

Soccer season has started and we are happy

to be on the Green Gators.

Easton ready for the game

Getting a pep talk from Coach Schreiner.

Skee is sad not to be coaching, but enjoyed walking the

side lines taking pictures.

Easton did awesome he scored 4 goals and was

ready for more. His tongue is out in every action shot, LOVE IT.

Easton and Nick

Last year they played against each other so they

are happy to be on the same team.

Taking a quick potty break

Love having Boys

Then back to the game.

School Begins

I bet I am the ONLY mom in the world that was

excited for her kids to go back to school.....not because

I don't LOVE my kids, or that I need my space, but

I want my kids to like each other again.

There has been so much fighting and they can't

get along. It makes me sad, but I know that as they are

away from each other all day they will hopefully be nice to one

another once the routine is again set into place.

My HANDSOME little boys.

Peyton is a 3rd Grader

Stockton is a 1st Grader

Our FUN walking crew.

Stockton and McKenlie, they lucked out and got in

the same class this year. Mrs. Wilcox.

This year Peyton didn't fight us or say how much he hated

school, so we had a much happier morning, but he

has hit that stage in life where he is TOO COOL for his mom

to take pictures or walk him to school.

So starts a great year at Foxboro Elementary.

Weekend

I decided we needed to have 1 last adult weekend before

school and ALL the sports started for our kids.

I was surprised with Lion King tickets for Friday night.

It was Awesome!!

We went to PF Changs (YUM YUM)

and then off to our getaway....Comfort Inn. (hey it's better

than staying home right!!!)

Saturday Kristy and I did some crafting while the guys

golfed 36 holes (thats right in 1 day they golfed that much)

After LOTS of shopping and the guys finally came back,

a bunch of us went to dinner at Cafe Rio and went to the movie

Eat Pray Love (a very long movie)

Sunday (Skees Birthday) we spent the morning

miniature golfing and go cart riding until it was

time to get our kids. (thanks Munks and Mom and Dad for

taking such good care of my kiddos)

Football season has officially started with Skee and all

his Fantacy Drafts, so off he went while the kids and I

decorated for the birthday boy!

That's right 31

The kids hid and as Skee came up the stairs they

jumped out screaming, I love how excited they get over birthdays.

We love you Daddy, we hope you had a good

day. You are the BEST dad and Husband any family

could ask for.

Discovery Gateway

We along with all of SLC went to the Discovery Gateway,

I didn't know but it was FREE day so we didn't last

as long as I had hoped.

But they had fun!

Berklie and Easton sat in the helicopter forever

everytime they heard the engine they would sit back down

like it was really taking off.

Another activity down and lots more to cram

into our week before school starts.
