A smorgasboard?!





I am not even sure if I spelled that correctly, but I have a jumble of pics to put on since it has been a while that I last blogged. The first picture is of Gabe after his first week at preschool. He loves it! I am so grateful because last year he wasn't so sure about the whole mommy leaving him for 2 hours at a time thing. But, he has grown up and is doing well. He is one of two boys among 10 girls! His teacher informs me that he seems to enjoy the fact that the girls surround him. (He's a charmer!) Haleigh's newest favorite spot to sit is in the laundry basket. I put her in there to keep her out of trouble one time and she seems to have liked it enough to want more. Just yesterday she wanted to sit in the basket with her ghost bag which she likes to collect things she shouldn't have - this time it was the infant's tylenol. She also snagged my body spray and a sippy cup. She is developing quite the personality and she is a cruiser now! (which means lots of bumps and bruises in the future) Tyler found the spider webs we're hanging up for Halloween. He thought it would look nice as a wig, and I thought it would be a funny picture! Gabe liked the movie "Ratatouille" and so he wanted to bake cookies like "little chef" - the name of the main rat in the movie (if you have seen the movie you know what I am talking about). He loves to help in the kitchen, so I call him my little chef when he helps me. Kids are great, even if they bend me out of shape at times. They make me smile daily with their quirks and imaginations! May you all smile today at something quirky!!! Lots of love.

Goooo Cougars!




Yes, it is that time of year again for our family! The sweet smells of the stadium food and the sound of excitement in the stands. It is BYU football season. We were a "little" nervous (Roger got up at 6 am with his nerves in a knot!) to see where the Cougars were this year considering the senior graduate losses they experienced at the end of the last season. Needless to say we were pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the game, with BYU winning 20 - 7. There is just something about being at the game. It is magical in a sense; maybe they put something in the water? But for all you who don't go and are not sure what I am talking about, "Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Rah, rah, rah, rah, rah! Gooooo Cougars!!!!!"
