We are excited. Congrats Lisa and Jim.

This tough guy is 6!

I love this picture. Alex is younger than Taylor and Brig is only a couple months old. I think they have the sweetest faces. So that's why I'm posting this as the baby pic of Brigham. I can't believe that 6 years has already gone by.Here is Brighams cake (a dragon volcano with rocks instead of flowers).Blowing out candles. Opening presents. What a fun day!
We're glad Brigs is in our fam.

For those faithful supporters...

...or those who are just curious. Voting was yesterday. Mark made a good showing, but in the end came in 3rd out of 5 candidates for seat 2. He did well. He ran against one of his friends/clients who came in 2nd. We'll see what we decide to do next.

The man is 7!!!

ALEX ON HIS BIRTH-DAY
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?

Mom: Because that's what the tooth fairy does at our house.

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.


Lissie fell asleep like this. Funny girl. 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.


Mark is running for city council against 4 other people. He had a debate last night and did really well. 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.

We're ready!

This is the boys first day of school which happened a little bit ago. It was sad to say goodbye, but the boys were excited. I can't believe how fast the summer flew. Here they are before they head out the door.Waiting for the bus. I let Brigs go the first day because Al was there and we met them both at school.Brigham was the first to get on the bus and Alex the last. Hmmm.Waving good bye on the bus. See Brig's and Alex's grinning faces?Brigham was the first in line. They had to bring their supplies. The teacher helped him bring stuff in. The teacher is so excited to have Brigham in her class and told me he was going to be the helper. Here is Alex meeting up with a couple of his friends. They have 4 1st grade classes this year and he was lucky to get a couple of his friends in his class. He was chosen for something he accomplished in one of the assemblies and he was pretty excited.Now we are having fun those of us that are staying home. Taylor is quite funny and tries to always get us to laugh. The other night about bed time he came walking into the living room and he had put on Lissie's crown. He was so proud. I had to get a picture....
and then another... I should have just taken a video. Then the other day I had Lissie sit on the rocking chair. I was getting supper ready and realized I couldn't hear her and all her energy. I went into the room to check on her and this is what I found...Little Sleeping Beauty. (Or should I say Snow White since she's eating an apple).
