Just a little bit....

So the little McNuggets have been getting after me to post new pictures...I guess it is like being on TV! And update everyone (what the three readers out there?!) what they have been doing!

First Chayce, did amazingly well at football this year. We loved every minute of it,and were actively involved from the sidelines. We even loved the early morning race to get to Brigham City because we woke up at the exact time we were supposed to be there. 27 minutes from Farmington to Brigham wasn't too bad...



Chayce is #1 and played great in spite of the fact we had to get a special mouth guard and cut out part of it to fit over the wires holding his teeth in! Now we only will have the orthodontist bill at 4200 dollars, but don't worry, they will give us a 150.00 off for a family referral (Cris has braces on right now) and 4% off if we pay it in full....so really it is only 3700 dollars we have to come up with!!!! I hope our ortho (he really is a good guy!) is enjoying the new boat we paid for! One of us should!

Carrisa has had a quiet fall, since she plays softball and basketball. SO we will be gearing up for basketball tryouts in a few weeks. She is an awesome player, tall and fast...(definitely from her dad!) She is also pretty aggressive with the ball when she is out on the floor, which is funny to watch, because if you know her, she's not aggressive at all off the floor. Sweet and kind and always a friend....but put a ball in her hands...well watch out...she will be trying our for the junior high team, so send her good luck!



Cris has become our resident picture taker (yes I admit it...I stink at it - I never remember the camera when I need it!) so I had a hard time finding a shot of her!

Ashlee just finished soccer, she loved it, but she loved to talk out on the field more. It was social hour for her and her friends, but they had fun at it. Mack got to see three of her games, so she was pretty stoked! She's bugging us for gymnastics lesson...I am just not ready to commit myself to three and four classes a week and what that means to my gas mileage! And she got to drive the four wheeler by herself, so that was pretty awesome too.



(Yep no picture of her by herself..i officially stink at the mother camera thing!

Mackelle who had an amazing month, is still on cloud nine! (where is cloud nine?) Soccer was a blast because she scored most of the points and she looked totally cute out there..that was a priority! She turned 8 and was baptized by her dad with all her grandparents there and some family! We missed all of you that couldn't be there! She can't wait to play soccer next year, she says that it is her sport!



Apparently she likes to talk too!!!

Jay D has just been Jay D...happy and content to be outside and doing something every minute of the day until he falls exhausted into sleep. Mack spoiled him and got his b-day present early, which was a two wheel bike. I am glad he did, Jay D has loved it and the weather was great. He is quite the pro at riding it now...with his atv helmet on!




And this last picture is what we pulled out of our garden in the way of pumpkins and squash...we have been eating squash for the last month...this is just the final haul. Our garden was small but had us plenty busy! We loved our garden, we wish it had been bigger, but we will take what we can get! The tomatoes were still going strong until last night when it frosted..and we forgot to cover them...so I am off to harvest the green ones and see if we can force them to ripen.

Wow...life is busy. Your garden sounds great! Be glad that the garden gofer didn't get to it early the one that got to ours! Grrrr! Oh well. I covered the tomatoes, so I hope they make it thru the weekend. Later.
