Our week of firsts......

We have had a lot of first this week. Colby had his first day of Preschool. He had a great first day. His friend Ian was in his class again from last year, as well as Bridger Pope, and Dallin. Mom is loving the free time! I did some Christmas shopping this week with only one child. One word........heaven.

Colby also had his first soccer game on Saturday.  He was so excited!  We bought him his cleats and shin guards a couple of weeks ago. He used to pretend that his boots were his cleats....funny!  He doesn't have to pretend anymore and has been wearing his cleats and shin guards around  around ever since.  It is so cute!!  The game was the funniest thing I have ever seen!!!  Colby was not intimidated at all by the other kids.  He just got right in there and tried to steal the ball.  Colby even made the first goal.  It was pretty exciting!!  For some reason Colby kept ending up on the ground.  I can't figure out if his legs were getting kicked out from under him, or if he thinks he is suppose to fall......either way, he was on the ground a lot.  One time he got kicked right below the eye....and that is how Colby got his very first shiner!!   I tried to use it as a teaching moment to let him know that you are suppose to stay on your feet.  I guess we will see if it worked.  It was a lot of fun!!  Colby was upset when we left because he wanted to play another game.  

 

So that is our list of firsts.......

First Day of Preschool

First Soccer Game

First Shiner.

It was a fun week!

BYU Football Saturday.....

So football season is now upon us! YEAH BABY! We went to the BYU Football game on Saturday and watched BYU beat-up on UNI. It was one of the hottest games that I have ever been too. Both my Mom and Stephanie got sick cause it was so hot. The paramedics even had to make a call to help a person in a section over from us.

The kids were all decked out in their BYU garb. Colby and Abby both wore their BYU cloths made by Grandma Peggy! They got more than a dozen complements from other fans who loved their cloths. Even the BYU Cougarettes loved the cloths when we walked by and the kids got their picture taken with them.

Colby did awesome, he loves the games and watches attentively the entire game. He knows what is going on and when a good play, or bad play has happened. All the other fan around us are amazed that he knows the game so well at such a young age. Colby just loves going to the games and always has a fun time!

BABY NEWS!!

Drum roll please.............. we are having a boy and a girl!  We are so excited!  Both babies are doing well, and are looking great.  Colby was really excited that he will have a baby brother.  The next step is to get out all the baby clothes and go through them.  Talk about lots of laundry!!!   I really felt like we were having a boy and a girl, but I didn't want to say anything, just incase I was wrong.  Anyway, we are both very excited, and glad that both babies are doing well!  

Any Guesses?

I am one week shy of being 20 weeks (5 months) pregnant with the twins.  One week from today I will find out what we are having.  Any one care to take a guess?  I will post next monday what we are having.

Back From Lake Powell & our Yard Sale

We got back from Lake Powell on Monday.  We had tons of fun!  The kids were really good and it was a relaxing weekend.  It did storm on us a little and rained, but we got to see some really cool waterfalls right by our houseboat.  It was a lot of fun!

We had a Yard Sale at our house on Saturday.  I was kind of nervous about it, but I had so much fun!  It was fun to see all the people that came and the stuff they bought!!  Stuff I thought for sure wouldn't sell did!  Funny!  I am already thinking about having another one after the twins are born and we need to get rid of some of the baby stuff.  Colby was so funny!!  He wanted to earn money, but didn't want to sell anything.  He finally found something he could part with...a used sticker coloring book with all the stickers missing.  We put it out, and it sold! (to grandma)  It was pretty cute!  Then someone came by and bought something and handed the money to Colby.  He said "Be sure this gets to the owner"  Colby turned and starting running away and said "Heck no!  I am headed to my piggy bank!"  It was so funny!!  Colby is trying to earn money so we can go back to Disneyland.  So cute!

New Blog

Due to problems with our previous blog, I have started a new one.  Here it is.  Let me know if any of you have any problems with this blog.  

Lake Powell here we come!

Well, we are off to Lake Powell tomorrow.  I have been packing and cleaning and doing laundry like crazy to get ready to go.  And in the middle of all that I found time to do our beans.  I picked them, snipped them and pressure cooked them myself.  I have got 11 quarts so far!!  Yum!
