Well it has been way too long since I have updated this thing. I have no excuse. This is such a busy time of year for us, we have everyone's birthday all the holidays crammed right together. Things have been going well and the kids are doing great in school. We hope that everybody has a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving!!!!

This week has been a crazy one. I guess like all others. We had parent teacher confrences and both Rylan's and Katie's teachers had really great things to share about them. Katie is doing awsome in her reading like always. She is a great participater. But, has a hard time focusing. Not suprised seeing that her best friend sits on the opposite side of the room. Rylan always finishes his work and is a great colorer. He is a wonderful helper which I can atest to. I'm so proud of my kids they are the best! Kylie is doing well at her pre-school. Although is deathly afraid of Mrs. Casie's dogs, but we're working on it. She is also doing much better at her colors. Joshua has just turned 9 months old. So, I'm wondering where the time went? He is justloving his brother and sisters and always wants to be in on the action!

The weather is starting to turn cooler. I'm looking forward to driving through Weber canyon next week and see all of the beautiful colors.

The most beautiful 2 year old ever!

Contagious smile

Katie entertaining herself

While we were at Rylan's soccer game a Stealth Bomber (B2) flew over us. This pic if awful, but if you use your imagination and look very hard, you will see it in the clouds between the houses!

Katie dolling me up. I wish you could see the look on her face. So serious!

Roma, I promised you that I would finally update the blog so here you are.

In all innocence, we couldn't find the camera. So, I'm sorry.

We'll everyone has been sick with a flu bug. And it couldn't possibly happen all at the same time. No. It had to be one at a time. Yes, I am so tired now. I guess that I need my Sunday afternoon nap. Ha, ha!!!!!!!

Rylan had a soccer game yesterday. Poor guy, you could tell he was so tired from being up all night. Katie has been doing great with her gymnastics and loves it! In fact I'm thinking of putting Kylie in when she turns 3. I bet she would love it. And, Josh is just Josh. Getting big, starting to think that he is going to crawl anytime now. Life is good, no complaints!

Joshua's first taste of the good life! I think it was squash.

I didn't finish my post for last week, so I just combined it with this week. We had our first "Gilmore Store". The kids loved it. They didn't earn enough points to get any of the big things, but they still had fun. They actually did a lot better this week so they have a few more points. Last week Our Young Women had girls camp. I didn't stay the whole time though, I was able to sleep in my nice comfy, warm bed. We took the girls up tuesday then went back up for the day on friday. That wednesday our family went to the Sky Sox game. They played Salt Lake! It was funny to see everyone turn and look at us whenever we cheered for the "other" team. Unfortunately Colorado Springs won. This week has gone by pretty quickly. Nothing extremely exciting. Although Steve and I went out last night with NO kids! We went to dinner, it's amazing how nice it is to just sit down and eat and talk. After we went and saw the new Indiana Jones. We got there kinda early which was good because that place filled right up. I was suprised because the movie had been out for a while. It was fun. Today at church the kids were pretty good. This whole "Gilmore Store" and bribing them with points works great! Rylan gave the scripture in Sharing Time. 2 Nephi 12:2. He's so cute! We can't wait to go to Utah on Wednesday. We'll see you soon Mom and Dad!!!!!!!
