Practice, Practice, Practice

Sophia has a recital coming up at the end of end of the month. She has been doing really well with the practicing. It is nice to have her have a good attitude. It makes everyone a lot happier.

Syndey's Headstand

This is Sydney's version of a headstand.

Spencer saw Conner doing headstands and thought it was pretty cool so he has been practicing.

Sophia Piano

Sophia started with a new teacher (her name is Jill Weber - her husbands name is Michael too). Sophia now loves piano. I never have to ask her to practice and she has improved a ton. We have to drive to Layton for her lessons but I don't care at all because she is doing so well. This picture was taken when she was playing before school and Sydney ran in to "help" her. Sometimes it is challenging for Sophia becaue Sydney loves to play with her. We are really proud of Sophia and her hard work.

PUMPKINS

We planted a garden this year and the kids loved it. I have had a hard time keeping them out of it. They have been so excited about the pumpkins and asking everyday if they could pick them. On Monday they asked and I said yes - they couldn't believe it. We got them all picked and they carried them to the front porch and and lined them up themselves. Sydney was really working hard lifting the pumpkins. There was a lot of grunting.

The boys were pretty cool with their sunglasses

Sunglasses

Sydney really liked her new sunglasses she wore them for quite awhile

Stockton and Sydney First Day of School

Stockton and Sydney laid in bed watching Dora when the kids went to school - not a bad way to start the first day of school.

First Day of School

Sophia and Spencer started school. Sophia is in 4th grade and Spencer is in 1st grade. It is a big adjustment for Stockton having his brother gone all day.

Okay, so I'm clueless about how to do this. I have been trying to figure out how to scan a picture into my computer. Sad that I am so behind the times. I'll have to work on it. By the way - this is a picture of our kids that we took this summer. It is the one I scanned in.
