Awsome Kadi

In response to Kadi's comment of being left out of the latest blog we present you with our wonderful, gorgeous girl.

All I can say is that there are too many birthdays in October. We celebrated Jacob's birthday last week. It was a wonderful day. Ken and I are working in Jacob's class doing the art masterpiece and that was the day that we scheduled so we were able to spend it with him. I then took him lunch to the school and he really loved that. Last and the best is that he took all the money that all the grandma's and grandpa's sent and bought a Lego Star Wars set. He was not seen after that for about 2 days. Jake is a wonderful boy that brings a lot to our family. He is intense and smart and a really good friend. I can't believe that he is 10 years old, and growing up. He has learned amazing responsibility and I am so happy that he is mine.

Two weeks ago we had fall break and can I tell you how excited we were for that break. As half of Arizona went off to Disneyland we gladly chose to stay home and just rest. In that rest we had many park days, went to the zoo, went bowling with friends, and slept in. Kadi had a competition on both weekends of fall break so it really was nice to be home. Here are some pictures of the zoo with some of Kolton's friends. I can't believe how fast time is going by it really needs to slow down.

Jaimee had her first choir concert this month and all I can say is that I am so glad that she chose to sing. I love listening to the voices of the 7th and 8th grade choir. They did a wonderful job and she enjoyed it. It was funny as all the kids were coming out to the stage it was amazing how short she is. They placed her by two very tall girls and behind two tall boys it was very cute to see her little face trying to look out from all of them. We could see her and she just beamed. We love the concerts and supporting the kids.

Yes i know that it has been way to long since I have been on the blog set. All I can say is that HIS103 is kicking my butt and I have no time between that and the workings of a home. Well Kolton is officially 7 and it is killing me. He will be baptized next year. We had a wonderful time with a bunch of friends. He had been talking about Chuck e Cheese for 6 months so there was no way we were going to get out of it. Grandma and Grandpa came out to visit so they were able to join us for the wonderful food and entertainment. Kolton has added a lot to our home and can not imagine life with out him. He brings laughter and hugs, lots of stories and energy. We love this boy.

Our ward had a campout a couple of week ago, the kids had a wonderful time but sadly Kadi and I could not go. Kadi had a game that night so we stayed home and had a fun time together. As you can see the boys found their weapons to play with up there. I was told that the boys were hardly around and that it was a wonderful time. There was a zip line that people could go down and that was a big hit. When I say big hit I really mean for Kolton who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and got kick staight in the head. He was fine but took quite a tumble. It was proabably good that mom was not there.

Kolton has started scoccer and he is liking it now. He was not real excited to play in the games, he loved practice but I don't know what it is but games scare him. I still can't believe that he is growing up so fast. He will be turning 7 next week and it is killing me. He is a strong boy but very loving.

A couple of more picutures of Jaimee trip to Italy this is down in Sorrento were that stayed for most of the trip and then went on many day trips. These are just some of the many pictures that are amazing and the stories that go with them are fun to hear, Jaimee still talks about the wonderful time spent with wonderful people.

How can you not just love that face. It is sometimes the only thing that keeps him alive as he can push the enevlope a little. I think that the red hair and dimple help with the charm.

Jacob has worked hard in his scouting and recieved his bear this week, he woked hard to get some more beltloops and arrow points. I can't believe that he will be a weeblos next then I can turn him over to Ken to be a boy scout. I really appreciate that he has something to work on that is not video games or the computers. Way to go Jacob we are proud of you.

Well Jaimee turned 12 I can't believe it. She is now in Young Women, the behives came and be attacked the door to welcome her in she has been looking forward to being in YW for a while. Since her birthday was on Friday we had a little party for her with a couple of her friends we had make your own pizzas and a sundae bar, we played Dance Dance Revolution and had a really fun time then we watched a movie and I don't know if it was because it was late or just that they were girls but they actually watched the movie. It was a wonderful day.

Wow I can't believe that school has been in for almost a month and I am now just blogging. We have had a little bit of an adjustment now that we are in 3 schools with 3 different start times. Kadi is the first to leave she starts at 6:30 am which is way to early for any one to be able to learn. Then after I take her I go for a quick walk and get back in time to take Jaimee at 7:30. Then at 8:00 I walk the boys to the bus which I am so happy that we got back after thinking that we were going to lose it this year. The kids are doing good and are happy to see their freinds again it just the learning keeps getting in the way. I still am getting used to the time alone but my classes start again next week so I will get busy again. I am taking HIS 103 which is American Reveolution to 1870 should be fun.
