August, September and October

Peyton started 2nd grade this year. He also started at a new Elementary School. He has transitioned pretty well, especially since his cousins go to the same school.

Peyton waiting at the bus stop. I love that he has a bus to ride, and that I don't have to take and pick him up every day.

Noah playing with his cousin Gracie and his friend Cole. They were having fun playing dress-up.

Noah started his first year of soccer. He is still getting used what he's supposed to do during the game. The first two games were quite entertaining because he would just kick at a pretend soccer and do funny things out on the field.

Peyton started his 3rd year of soccer and loves it. Peyton now plays on a team of all boys and they have to follow all the rules and they keep score. It is fun to see how he has improved from previous years and we love going to his games.

Lily just keeps growing up. She loves to be outside and wants to run around everywhere.

For Labor Day we rented some tandem bikes and biked along the Provo River trail. Lily did not like being strapped in baby seat, but especially hated the helmet we made her wear. She screamed the whole time. Our bike ride was cut short because Vanessa and Mom's tandem bike blew a tire right after we got on the trail.

Noah started his second year of Preschool and likes going with Gracie three times a week.

Lily gets hauled around to two soccer games every Saturday. It takes a lot of work between Phil and I to keep her off the soccer field.

We had a family get together with my Dad's side of the family a couple weeks ago up in American Fork Canyon. The kids had so much fun and it is always nice to catch up with my relatives.

Peyton enjoying his smores.

Phil took the boys to the Mascot Bowl. They had a blast and were excited to get to take their picutres with a couple Mascots. Unfortunately Cosmo was the most popular, so they weren't able to get a good picture with him.

My kids never take naps. One Sunday after church this is how I found Noah. I thought he looked so cute sleeping in this pose. We found out that he was sick later in the day, so that's why he must of fallen asleep.

Lily's hair keeps getting longer and I was able to get her hair in cute little pigtails.

Lily likes getting her picture taken and loves to say "cheese".

Lily also likes to get dressed up in shoes, pants, shirts, glasses or anything else she can find.
