So here is Courtney's second grade picture. She finally lost her first tooth and was very proud to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy, then she promptly forgot to smile with her teeth for her school picture.
Luckily we got a great shot of the missing tooth right when it first came out. She is our grown up little girl these days. She is continuing with ballet and still loving it. She still draws pictures all the time and tells us she wants to be an art teacher when she grows up.
Dylan is adjusting to school well this year. He had a few days of being unsure in the beginning, but now he is an old pro. He keeps telling Courtney not to walk into school with him, that he can do it all himself. He loves singing the alphabet song and tries to see just how fast he can get it out.
His class went on a trip to the pumpkin patch and I was able to go with his class. We had a lot of fun watching them make cider, going for a hayride and picking out a pumpkin.
Of course we had to make a second trip to the pumpkin patch so that Courtney and Paige could pick out a pumpkin too! Here are all the finished pumpkins, after we carved them for FHE! Happy Halloween everybody.
I think I really take it for granted that we live close enough together to make these events a real family affair. But it struck me on Sunday just how lucky I am and I wanted to make a point of thanking everyone for coming and being so supportive. What an amazing circle of men who stood around Phoebe to bless her. Thanks again to all of you for being such a great example to me and my family. We wish you all the best of the Holiday season!

Here's our little soccer player. He really enjoys being on a team and getting to play outside no matter the weather. He played his second game on Saturday and he showed a lot of improvement in just one week. Each of the players on his team are such characters, it has been fun to get to know them. I think that Clint has been enjoying the challenge of coaching, despite being nervous in the beginning. I never played soccer either, but having Dylan involved sure brings back memories of doing sports at a young age for me. Dylan is selling candy bars for a fundraiser and I swear they are exactly the same brand that we sold every year for T-ball.
He was getting cold feet about going all morning. He just kept saying he wanted me to stay with him. But I promised him he would get to play the Wii if he went to school so he decided that he could do it. I was feeling fine all the way up to giving him his hug and kiss goodbye. It was at this point that he was fine and not worried at all that I was leaving. But I got all emotional and had to hurry out of the room before he saw me starting to cry.
