Soccer Girl

Em had a fun season of soccer. She's the one in the green jacket in the middle. This was their coldest game, but she toughed it out.

Sunday Naps

We just changed to 9:00 church - yea! Em and I took advantage and snuggled up for a rest. Well one of us slept. Look closely at Em...she's trying not to smile for the pic.

Snuggley Boys

Drew and Adam are best buds. Drew often says to his little brother "Adam come snuddle me." Adam is such a snuggler he always does.

Adam loves helping me in the garden and I love his company.

School Boy

Drew started his second year of preschool Thursday. So when I said the girls get chatty when the get nervous - ditto with Drew. He was so excited to wear his wolverine shirt he picked out when we were school shopping. Drew got himself ready to go first thing in the morning. His school starts at noon. It was a long wait, but he survived and had a fun first day of school.

Happy Birthday Rick!

We celebrated Rick's 35th birthday last week. We had a few different celebrations throughout the week. I got him a new wedding ring. His original one fell off when he was waterskiing, so is at the bottom of Ririe reservor. He really liked the new one - but I think he secretly liked the new GPS he gave himself as a birthday present more. Just a guess/observation. I love Rick so much and feel so blessed to have him.
