Officially Old

Carter lost his two bottom teeth this weekend. He and James were rough housing yesterday and knocked out the first one. After rinsing his mouth out and consequently losing his tooth down the drain, he declared "Mom, I'm getting old 'cause my teeth are coming out." So it's official, Carter is getting old ;-) !

Yes, Scott really used the pliers. Any one who knows Scott raise your hand if you are the least bit surprised. Not me.
This was right before church. I guess Scott wanted Carter to have a good story to tell. Carter has to do a talk in primary today. I hope this doesn't come up over the pulpit.

Nap-time Nostalgia

Loreli has decided that she is too old for naps. I am so sad because this is the only quiet time I have left. I tried to ask her nicely to go watch a movie and this is what she came up with! No joking. She said "Mom, I have a secret hide out pleeeeaaaaassse!" At least I got my peace of quiet and she got her very much needed nap.

Fall Colors, Fabulous Food and Fun Family Pics

We had the craziest day today!!! It was so busy. We went to church and then drove up to Logan to Diana and Carlos' cabin for Asado (yum) . Then we raced back to Ogden to be to Scott's Grandpa's 91st birthday celebration. Then we went to Family Home Evening at Kent and Seong's house. It has been a crazy busy but great day!

Fall Colors in Sardine Canyon were beautiful today!!!



Carlos and Diana's neighbors have a fabulous swing that they made for their grandkids. It's made out of an old metal framed mattress that is covered with a tarp and chained to two huge trees. That is the kids favorite thing to play on!!! It's good to have good neighbors!!!


Carlos always has the grill going. This is every "grill man's" dream grill!!!

We always appreciate the grill because we get to eat the "fruits" of Carlos' labor!!!

Not Much is Going On

Not much is going on at our house. Scott just worked about 35 hours overtime in the last two weeks so we haven't seen him much. Between the commute through the constant construction and sleeping we are lucky when he is home.

I am trying to keep myself busy with my calling as Enrichment leader. Mostly just trying to stay sane and adding projects to keep me sane takes up most of my time (free time, that is when Loreli is napping :-)) I don't really have a lot of time, that is, that doesn't involve kids. Good thing I like mine!

James is busy with school and video games.
Carter is busy with preschool and loving telling James that he doesn't know EVERYTHING.
Loreli is busy being busy being a mischief!!! She cut her hair today while I wasn't looking for 10 seconds. Lucky for me she was trying to see what she was cutting so now she just has bangs.

That is pretty much it for the fun at our house, but I will keep you posted if anything more exciting happens!
