Coltons buddy "Q"

"Q"  lives two doors down and across the street, he is the 6th of 7 kids and always says his Mom knows where he is.... so we just go with it.  He comes over often and we love his company! He came about 10am this morning, he was 'selling candy to earn money to buy stuff and to just have money'. His Ziploc baggies had 4 pieces of candy and were, '5 no 10 no like 25 cents' he says. Already and entrepreneur at age 5.

Kids

Each and everyday there is at-least one moment that should be recorded.

Perfect Picture Ashton took of his nose.

SunBeams: The first day.....
The sweet and simple, fun and loving, nose picking, booger eating, cute SunBeams. They are cute -yes and funny, but that nose picking-eating stuff has it's toll. Girl picks nose, eats it and then touches my arm!! EEEWWWW. After almost gagging 5 times (seriously not kidding) I am prepared with Clorox wipes and hand sanitizer!

Our Ninth Anniversary

Wow! Really it has been nine years! 9 Years ago I was a gitty 19 year old sophomore at Weber getting ready to go to the temple to get married for Time and All Eternity. Yep he is stuck with me, but he does keep his return receipt near just in case I act out.  We started at Weber State  -

I graduated to I just can't find a picture....

then this happened......

And instead of the 2 musketeers it turned in to the 3 Musketeers.....

Then we moved to

for 3 years.

  While there another bundle of joy.....

Our family as doubled in size and I am clearly out-numbered!! The weight and size of the stroller has doubled.

We have two bundles of joys that keep us on our toes.
(Who is who)





He has yet to give me back and We still love each other!!
(I hope that he keeps his receipt for another year so we can make to the big one-zero).

Skeletons

For Halloween this year they are going to be......

Fall Soccer

Colton is on the Brown Bears team. He plays very good defense!

 Playing Goalie for the quarter. (nobody scored)

 Bustin' a move.

 Ashton is on the Green Dinosaurs team.They run on and off the field to get drinks, take a break and have a snack. The coach is not every really sure who is in and who is out.  And this is how 3 years play soccer.

Taking it down field.

This is Ashton in the middle of the field as the other team is trying to score. In about 10 seconds he comes out for a quick snack and drink and then runs back in.

 

Ashtons first score of the season. He ran back with a huge smile, hands in the air - like he had just scored in the World Cup.

 

Ashton actually passes the ball..... she just didn't quite get it.....
