Kenz rocks at stick figures.  

And to think I thought the ones I drew with Patty in college to get us through classes were good.  These put mine to shame.

Camrie really likes playing soccer.  

It totally shows.

September 28, 2012

Mason played way super hard on Friday.  That side of him doesn't always come out so it is fun to see when it does.  I also really like his goofy side.  That comes out a little more often.  :)

Fabulous picnic about 1/3 of the way up the Timpanogos Cave trail sitting on a bench enjoying the changing leaves and my growing up Sadie.

September 26, 2012

The boys had SO much fun mountain biking.  I think the mud made it even better.

September 25, 2012

It was a jeans and jacket - rainy day.  I do like those days.  

Not every day of course, but somewhat often.

September 24, 2012

It's a great time of year when we have peaches from our tree.  There aren't very many but what is there is delicious.  It doesn't get much better than picking a peach and enjoying it immediately.  I do like room temperature fruit.

By now I am not surprised that what actually happens when we do something is not close to what I envisioned happening.  I thought that we would ride up the canyon, singing along in the car, oohing and aahing at the fall colors.  What really happened was that the kids kept saying, "can we go home now?" and barely looked out the window.  Cam and Ry did manage to find a cool leaf that was green and red.  Fun, I know.

Sadie started out our soccer Saturday sporting a side pony.  Fun, I know.

Friday nite pizza dinner made better by watching Netflix on the computer while eating.

September 20, 2012

First school project from Sadie - complete.  

The first of many.  Too bad they won't all be as fun as making a gingerbread girl.

September 19, 2012

These 2 runners are so awesome.  They make running fun.  On today's run they found some flowers to adorn their hair.  (Kenz on left and Jackie on right.)

September 18, 2012

It was that kind of afternoon. 

(Found on Cam's whiteboard in her room.  Mane = mean.)

September 17, 2012

This soccer season is developing just about how I thought it would.  

That's not really a good thing.  It's my realist perspective coming out.  But Mason is playing some really good soccer.

Cute girls!

Homecoming - LHS - 2012

Dress shopping is not fun, but worth it when you look this cute.  :)

September 14, 2012

Awesome race by Kenz on a super tough Herriman course.  

I like when sports pictures turn out like I had envisioned when I took it.

September 13, 2012

The girls went to Jenn's bridal shower tonite.  The best part was the ride home where we turned the music up and I listened to all my girls sing along, "Hey soul sister...".  And then hearing Sadie whistle to Sugarland's Stuck Like Glue (one of my all time favorite songs) made me smile even bigger.

Runner of the meet gets the Soldier Hollow trophy.  They also get a little attitude and think you're crazy to want to take a picture of them.  :)

September 11, 2012

I love to see the temple...

The good life.

Although this says 2011, I think it could represent 2012.

Found this art under some papers by the computer.

Cute soccer player.  She plays soccer a lot like Kenz did when she was this age.  Mason responded to that in a slightly disgusted voice, "Great.  She'll give up soccer in a few years and like running like Kenz."  Sadie smiled and said, "I like running."  :)

September 7, 2012

The only thing good about having a test - studying for it with friends.  Although I'm not sure how much studying actually gets done. 

September 6, 2012

This is how I found the cutie patutie before school.  

She is learning to read and has mastered tying her shoe.  Rock on Sadie.

September 5, 2012

I sort of missed this shot but I will take it anyway as this is Cam scoring their first goal of the season.  Check out the cute girls celebrating behind her.  This was such a fun game and Cam went on to score 2 more goals.  Did someone say "hat trick"?  :)

September 4, 2012

Such a cutie soccer player!  Fantastic game playing mid, forward, and defense.  She scored, and had 2 assists (one off a cross that hit the post) but my favorite was watching her play fantastic defense.

I am learning that you have to take a lot of sports pictures to get a good one.  Out of all the pictures I took tonite this was the only really good one.  But it is a good one so I'll take it. 

(Are those soccer/running fingers that she has picked up from Kenz?  :)

 (Buffalo Peak)

My idea of a good time is a hike.  That is definitely not their idea of a good time.  However they were great sports today and humored me.  I think the only 1 mile round trip distance might have helped the humoring.

September 2, 2012

 These 2 think alike.  :)

Sunday creating.  All 4 girls were at the counter making masterpieces.  

I love when they are all doing something together.  Sigh.

September 1, 2012

2 sports spectating nites in a row?  It doesn't get much better than that.  Tonite was a BYU Women's Soccer game.  We got to the game a little early so we checked out a building that had tons of BYU sports memorabilia.  Fun, I know.  (Mason in front of some Jimmer stuff.)
