Benji got to go to the Payson Temple! His Scout Troop has been so good. He loves the guys and the leaders and he just thrives in those situations.

Benji and his flag football team 🙂 He is learning the game and the lingo. He has played lineman all season but I bet he could tell you what all of the positions are supposed to do on each play. He is learning to love the game and I wish I had more time to go throw the ball around with him cause it’s a lot of fun.

Packer is so upset that the music leader at school has decided to have the 5th graders keep playing Recorders. It used to just be a 4th grade thing. I tried to get him and Claira to play a song but they refused.

Millie talking to the chickens next door 🙂

I am trying not to let time slip by without enjoying it. There are always lists of things to get done but… I’m really wanting to live in the moment and enjoy the kids while I’ve got them. We decided to make sugar cookies 🙂 The kids LOVED it:

I also let the kids bring the bikes in the house because it was cold outside. They loved practicing inside.

Benji is still loving soccer. He’s still not the fastest or first to the ball but he has good control and plays smart. He loves being on the team and he has been getting more aggressive. (Fast forward to October – – HE SCORED A GOAL!! from almost half field! He just booted it up to the forwards but it went high and far and bounced right in to the goal over the goalies head!! It was AMAZING)

Tiago is just adorable right now. He loves to talk and play and be a part of everything. Here he was playing nicely on the sidelines while I watched Cali’s soccer game. He was building a camp fire 🙂

Then for FHE that night he wanted to SING and do EVERY action to the songs! SO so Cute!

We’ve babysat Bennett a few times. Tiago and Millie LOVE playing with him right now.

Rose is my artist. She LOVES to draw and color.

Ray had to get his kindergarten shots. He was super tough but ended up getting a little sick and his arm swelled up pretty big for a few days.
