My first blog

Well I may be late to the party, but I'm ready to finally join the blogging world. I figured as a scrapbooker I need to have an easy way to document the happenings in our family, so when I get around to scrapbooking them I'll have a one-stop resource to find some good journaling tidbits.

I just have to say how much I love Fall - it isn't officially Fall yet, but around here it has felt like it for the last 2 weeks. I love the warm (but not hot) days and cool nights, the kids back in school and all of us back into a routine, and one of my favorite things of all - FOOTBALL! This year I'm playing Fantasy Football for the first time with my brothers, sister-in-law, and her brothers. I'm having a blast so far, even though I lost last week. But I'm smarter now, and I predict a win this week. And I'm lovin' cheering on the Utes (ranked #22) as usual.

The boys are in the middle of their soccer season, another great thing about Fall. Trevor is doing well, he is one of the youngest on his team, but can hold his own and his team is really good. Logan is playing for the first time, and like many his age has moments on the field when he spaces out - picking up leaves, sticks, or grass or pulling his jersey up over his head, etc. Then he has times where he will run around with the pack. He is having fun, and that is what matters.


Kylie is keeping us entertained and on our toes, like a 20 month old should. One of her favorite tricks this past week has been to take off her pjs and diaper when left in her crib too long. She asks to take walks in the "lo-lo" (stroller) daily. And monkey milk (our strawberry syrup bottle has a monkey on it) is the only way she'll drink milk.


Pete has been busy working on his garage/shop. His dad is here this weekend helping put the shingles on. It may actually get finished before winter - hooray!

Love your blog! I'll send you an invite to mine. Your family is adorable and it makes me miss you to see your cute face. High school was truly a lifetime ago, wasn't it? We need to get Valerie blogging...I think it's time for another Kim, Jill, Jill, Val, Sue reunion, don't you? How about this Christmas? Again, I'm applauding your debut into the blogging world.

Fall is by far my fav. too. I can't wait till the farm is done, but also the sweater weather, pumpkin spice candles, leaves changing, and so much more.
