We have been busy lately with lots of different things, but we had an exciting day on Monday. Alex turned 7! We had no digital camera then, but my mom sent me a scan. 
Here is the birthday boy with his cake. Do you like the 7 candles as the stem? He wanted a jack-o-lantern cake with a bat and Brigs wanted dracuala. I added a spider ghost and witch.
Alex is doing well in school. He was telling us the other day that the other kids in his class get $s for loosing teeth. Why does the tooth fairy only brings me a quarter?

Alex: Wait a minute, I get it...you and dad are the tooth fairy! 
Here is Taylor enjoying the festivities. He is growing sooo much and is now a Toddler. He has figured out how to move the chairs and turn the lights on andoff. He also can climb up on the stove and push the buttons, so we try to keep a good eye on him.

She loves being at home and spending time with Mom. she sings about it. She has also learned to write her full first name (no nickname)and some of the letters and numbers.
Brigham thought up a great sandwich. He made his into a smiley face here. How fun. He is doing great in school. He only has 5 boys in his class and 15 girls! He gets to play with one of the boys about 2 times a week. He is still very imaginative. In fact he started writing a book and wanted to put it in the library.

He has been busy with that and YMs. He has signs and we made some flyers that he is going to hand out. Elections are Nov 3rd. He's been busy getting all sides of the issues and getting out meeting other people. I'll have to get some pictures of the signs later.
I am doing the PTO this year and we finished our first fund raiser a few weeks ago and made money! It was a back to school night. We are now working on a Halloween Carnival which is next week. There are 2 of us doing it and we have been able to get a some volunteers to work on it. Yeah. The boys have also started basketball and Lissie and I are doing preschool. Taylor loves his Dad and will come bring a book for me to look at with him and sit on my lap. We are just having fun and enjoying life. In a couple of weeks hopefully things will slow down and we can rest for a little bit, but we are good.
