Brielle│The Performer

For you Kemchu!:)

Brooke│She is Part of Our Family.

The other night we were all in the family room reading scriptures.  I was reading.  Scott was laying on the floor with three children on top of him.  Scott then comes to a realization, 'Brooke is part of our family'.  

I said, 'yes, she really is!' 

Sometimes, we go through days of routine and unremarkable days.  

Not much excitement, except for the every day things that we do. 

But every once in a while, 

quiet remarkable moments happen when we realize 

our capacity to love and

that our family wouldn't be complete without each other. 

Facebook and I Broke Up.

Just like breaking up with a boyfriend, 

Facebook and I broke up.  

I can't say it was a sad day, 

it was more like the moment when you realize that

life with that boyfriend wasn't going to work out...

so you better get the guts to just let it go.  

I'm glad it is over Facebook.

Life is much better without you.  

I figured the people that really matter will

call me,

text me, 

email me, 

send me a letter,

or check this blog.

Mischief.

No explanation needed.

Mischief never looked cuter.

Labor Day│Salt Lake Bee's Game

On Labor Day, we headed to a Bee's game with the Friel's and Penny.  

We were disappointed that Scott had to go to work that day...but it was such a nice surprise when he came home right when we were heading to the game and he was able to join us.

I was ecstatic.

It was such a beautiful day and the perfect way to end the summer. 

We loved the company and the excitement of being there cheering for the Salt Lake Bee's minor baseball league. 

We ate some hot dogs and treats and watched the game for a while. 

I must admit that I am a much better soccer fan...

I think it is because I understand more of what's going on...

But, there were some exciting moments watching the Bee's play. 

Brielle and Macie get along so well and it's fun that they get to play together.  

Brookie makes the funniest faces when she's excited. 

I can't believe how much that little munchkin is growing. 

The kids started to get a bit anxious so we went to a spot where they could run. 

They had a blast spraying each other and running around.  

Children have so much energy. 

I'm glad they get to be active and create memories. 

I often wonder what things they will remember about our family life.

I hope it is the good parts and not the times when I get mad at them for being careless children. 

I wish I could live my life more like a child without a care in the world. 

It is a wonderful time for them.

Brooke has become so active and has a little spunky personality.  

She has been throwing tantrums lately when she doesn't get what she wants. 

You wouldn't know it, with such an angelic little face in this picture. 

We had such a great time together. 

Our next door neighbor Zoe joined us, too. 

She is wonderful and we are so lucky to know her.  

She is so good with our children and always willing to help when I need her. 

The boys and Brooklyn. 

The game was fun and the Bee's won. 

It was a fun day for us all and Brookie was exhausted!

Perfect way to end the summer.
