Her first tooth

Olivia lost her first tooth.

Sort of.

She was jumping on the trampoline and hit her mouth with her knee

and out came the tooth-blood gushing and all. She quickly got over the pain and was super excited that the tooth fairy was going to visit her.
Luckily, the dentist checked her out and did an x-ray and everything is okay.
Phew.

With 4 loose teeth near the front,

I wonder soon if she will toothless and unable to chew.

SHE is adorable.

Football

Michael and Olivia are playing flag football on the same team this year.

Peek-A-Boo

Boys love trees.

Olivia running with the ball. I love how she gets right in there with the boys

(well, there is one other girl on her team) and has a blast.Fun times.

Football

What a great kid. He started playing flag football this year and loves it. The team huddle
Defense.
Silliness.

Rolling up the flag. Isaac spent about 1/2 of practice doing this. Good Fun.

Go Team.

Thursday awesomeness!

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates

in a shiny sports car,

wearing beautifully, tailored clothes,

my hair expertly coiffed,

and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.

I want to drive up in station wagon that has

mud on the wheels

from taking the kids to scout camp.

I want there to be a smudge of

peaunt butter on my shirt

from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors kids.

I want there to be a little dirt under

my fingernails from helping

to weed someone's garden.

I want to be there with

children's sticky kisses on my cheeks

and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.

I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived!"

--Marjorie Pay Hinckley

She is one of two women (the other being my Mother)

that I look up to admire and aspire to me more like!!

Rock Climbing

Last night we went rock climbing at our gym.

We always have lots of fun doing this!

The three cutest kids EVER!

GO Michael!

Isaac is very scared of heights, but he went all of the way up twice last night

(as opposed to about 6 six feet up)

Go Isaac GO!

Princess Olivia our monkey.

Hi Mom.

A fun day!

I admire...

Isaac LOVES Michael more than anything. He looks up to him and adores him! I gave him the camera the other night we were rock climbing and guess what was the only he took pictures of?

That's right--Michael.

Just too cute!

They are playing a little game with their hands.

I love how these brothers love each other!

Glasses

So, today Michael got full-time glasses.

He loves them and is amazed how clear everything is now. He is pretty awesome.

A good Day.

SO happy Michael can see well:)

Preschool Boy

Isaac is doing preschool at home with me.

He loves to learn and recently has discovered cutting. So, today we were working on letter "E" and I decided to snap a few pictures because

he is so adorable,

he is growing up so fast

and I want to remember how cute he was on THIS day!

Major concentration

Time for some glue.

The finished product.

He thought he was pretty funny putting Michael's nickname on the front instead of his own. Seriously, he laughed and laughed about it.

Of course, he had to do a goober picture.

I love this boy.

I love to teach him.

I love his constant desire to learn!
