Jeff and Kylie found this cute baby iguana outside their apartment! They of course took it in and made it their pet! The kids love Itcus! They love to hold or at least look at him! And they are always concerned about him!!

Tori doesn’t like to hold Itcus! But she loves to look at him!Britain loves Itcus!!

Tori is always doing weird things to Micheal. This time she gave him her sun glasses! They are the wrong color, BUT they still look adorable on him!!

This just makes me smile!

Nik had his Championship Flag Football Game Monday night! He had a great game with two touch downs, lots of catches and runs and a few passes! There were tons of people there and it got really crazy!

 They won the game and got a huge trophy!

Nik had lots of people come and watch him play. Jeff and Kylie made lots of games!Grandma came to lots of games too!Grandpa made a game too and got right to work there!Zoe got to help do the chains too!We had a great time at all his games!

A day off and we are at the beach!! We love love love going to the beach! Fall break started off ugly so we stayed away from the beach. The week ended on a high note and was gorgeous so we went to the beach!

The beach was perfect! There was NO wind! It was an amazingly perfect day at the beach and we stayed there for hours!!!

Usually when we go to the beach Michael sleeps most of the time. Since there was not wind he got out and enjoyed the water!He didn’t cry at all and loved being with all the action!He even got a little sand in his mouth!Tori also had an amazing day! She actually got wet!! Usually she plays in the sand with me and stays far from the water! She took Nik’s hand and pulled him out into the water!Ariana was there with her the whole time!She had a blast!Ammon wore his goggles as he body surfed in the ocean.I can’t wait for another gorgeous day off to spend at the beach!!!!

Last week was the kids’ fall break. Uncle Jeff and Aunt Kylie took us all bowling!! The kids have never been before and they had a great great time!

Tori loved getting the ball all by herself and pushing it down the guide! She would use both hands, then another time just one hand, and another time her elbows! She used many body parts to push that ball down!Nik being the silly silly boy that he is!Ammon had a blast!Zoe did a great job bowling. Michael had fun watching everything!Britain started using the guide and half way through just bowled normal and did a great job!!Ari wanted to bowl to the very end! She was sad to go home!Kalixta was, as always, steady and focused! She was always ready on her turn and loved every minute of it!Team 1!Team 2!Thanks Jeff and Kylie for a great time!!

Nik convinced me to let him play flag football for his school. It has made a lot of long days getting him from one practice to another. BUT it has been so fun watching him play! He is awesome!

He plays on the offense! He has ran in and caught LOTS of touchdowns!

He even plays QB sometimes! He has thrown a number of touchdowns too!He also plays defense. He is great at getting that flag!!His Momma is, as always his biggest fan, but she has a little competition! A girl from his school made this sign for him!!Here are two short videos of Nik in action!!

Nik’s team has only lost one game this season!! They won their play off game yesterday and will play in the championship game Monday!! It will be a great game!!

Go UCMS!!!

Every night the kids read! Someone always ends up reading to Michael! He loves to listen to them and look at the pictures! The kids all love to read to him!Love that hat, right?!

My sweet little pumpkin, Michael fit into our big family pumpkin! Pretty cute!!We had to get some with his little hat on too!Michael loves to chew on anything that comes close to his mouth! The pumpkin was no exception!He is also a crazy drooler!!! Can you see it running down the pumpkin? Hahaha!

Thanks Kylie for the amazing make up!All the kiddos!

We had a blast craving pumpkins yesterday!! Everybody was super creative with their pumpkins!

Tori got all the seeds out of her pumpkin by herself. Then got mad at me when I wanted to clean out all the strings! I helped her crave it which she didn’t like either! When I was done she threw down the pumpkin and said it was stupid!! It was kinda funny, I have to admit!! I don’t know where she gets all her feistyness from!! In the end she liked her pumpkin because everyone else liked their pumpkins!!Ariana loved her and everyone’s pumpkin!!Britain did great with her fiery pumpkin!!!!Ammon did an angry bird pumpkin but kinda messed up! He was upset but I think it turned out great!!Nik really got into craving his pumpkin too!! Love the two big heads!!!!I love love Zoe’s pig!Kalixta wins the distant/focus award! She is amazing and just works and works until she is done! Her smurf looks great!!Michael and his pumpkin!
