I love seeing the progression in JJ’s reading ability. It has been very slow in coming, but he is finally reading. It’s fun to see him want to read to his sister too!

JJ’s loves the special activities and the motivational things they have in his classroom. He loves earning his little prizes!

The kids ditched school today and we went up to Salt Lake City to watch Lane, Colby, and Clint in the State Cross Country. Colby did amazing and got 3rd place. Unfortunately, Lane didn’t do as well as usual and he didn’t place. It was kind of a bummer – it being his senior year – but he did earn Academic All-state and that’s wonderful. It was fun to be with all the family.

The kids have enjoyed doing Halloween artwork this week at school! Holidays really make everything so fun!

Although, its late in the season, I have been wanting to go for a nice Fall Drive and see the colors and leaves. I finally decided tonight was the night. After the kids got home from school, we headed up the canyon – and even though it has better colors earlier in the season – there was still lots of beautiful leaves to gather and enjoy! The kids really enjoyed it.

Joey is spending the weekend in Salt Lake City with Pete doing podcasts and fun guy time. So tonight, pizza was just the thing for me and the kids!

The kids were so excited when Joey got home tonight – they really missed having him home this weekend and couldn’t wait to have him join in their playtime!

It’s been hard to get into our new routine, but we are trying. Morning time has been a bit hectic and hopefully we will get used to it soon. It’s nice that we can get JJ off to school and then have a few hours before Beth has to get to school. Growing up, my mom always had hot breakfasts for us (of course I missed out on that most of the time because I had volleyball/basketball practice in the mornings). But around here it is cereal bars, yogurt, and cold cereal!

I signed up to be a room mom for both of the kids this year and its been interesting getting involved in the school. It was my job to collect all the items for Beth’s class basket for the Fall Festival and I was impressed with all the fun toys we got. This Toy Story Basket is so awesome and I hope we win it!

Another soccer game for Beth today. She is doing much better about getting in there. Our team is so small and its been hard to have her motivated enough to work at it, but she is doing well.

We visited Joey at work and brought him dinner again. We stopped in at the mall and walked around and a guy offered Beth a free jump on their trampoline. She loved it!

Today was the Fall Festival. The kids had such a good time playing the games, eating cotton candy, riding a pony, and shooting rockets! JJ was so excited to see Darth Vader there and he even won a cake in the cake walk! Of course it was a BYU Football cake and JJ had a good time teasing his dad about it. After the Festival we traveled to Payson and met with Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen, Lane, Cody, Becki, and Mallory. We visited and had dinner at the Cracker Barrel. It was fun to have Grandpa, Grandma, and Lane spend the night with us.

We got to watch Lane run in the Orem Kiwanis Cross Country race today. While we were waiting for it to start, the kids had a fun time playing on the playground and just running around. Lane did a great job and we are proud of him. Grandpa and Grandma and Lane came with us to watch Beth’s soccer game before they had to head home. It’s always great to spend time with them.

Tonight’s movie night featured Benjamin Franklin and it was fun to share his story with the kids! We were glad to see another win for the Colts today!

JJ and Beth’s favorite way to play is to grab all of their toys and scatter them across the living room and the kitchen. I dream of the day when I can have a whole room just for their toys so that we don’t have to spend every waking hour picking up toys. So usually I get upset and the kids grumble about having to pick up. But then their are those special moments when I actually get caught up in watching them use their imaginations and the mess doesn’t bother me so much. I hope I can remember these moments more and not lose my temper because I really do love that they are learning, growing, and having fun together.

We took a trip to Costco and Walmart today to fill our cupboards. The kids were really great and it was just a fun outing! But it always makes me tired and its nice to finally make it home and have everything put away.

JJ got to go fishing for Scouts today and he loved it! He actually caught 2 fish and he shared one with a boy who didn’t catch one. He was so excited to bring it home and show us. Unfortunately, he didn’t want to eat it and he kept saying he wanted to keep it as a pet (of course it was dead – so that’s not happening). I think I need to get the kids a goldfish or something!

A trip to the Orem library was our fun outing of the day. The kids got to bring home some Curious George and Arthur books and I brought home my book club’s book, The Time Traveler’s Wife (which I can’t wait to read again – love it) and a Nancy Drew book. I thought it would be fun to read Nancy Drew again.

We really need to get a sandbox for the kids someday. There is a small dirt area in the back of our yard by the tree that the kids just love. It’s not that great of dirt, but they dig and play and build in it anyways!

Grandma Smith took a day trip and came up to see us today. She brought some fun cans that she had decorated and filled with treats and fun stuff for the kids. They LOVED IT! They did stickers and played. We picked up Uncle Aaron and had pizza together before Grandma had to go home. Thanks for coming and being with us today Grandma!

Uncle Lane came up and spent the night with us. He is headed to tour colleges tomorrow. I can’t believe he is going to be a senior this year! Crazy! The kids love it when he stays with us!
