I just wanted to post some more pictures of the kids from their soccer season last spring. Here are Blondie's pictures:

Kid talk
MJ and Luke were playing together with the toy kitchen in the family room. Apparently MJ was pretending to feed Luke things and then I heard him say, "Ewww, yuck MJ! That has spit on it!" Then MJ pipes up and says, "Ewww gross. What's spit Luke?"
Soccer Spectators - spring 2012
I'm a little behind on a couple of posts that I meant to do back in the spring about the soccer season.
The field where M&M played soccer in the spring is awesome for families because there is a nice playground at the top of a hill where the parking lot is and then the soccer field is down below, so you can let your younger kids play and keep an eye on them while you are also watching the game. Here are some shots of the kids playing on the playground at that field:
Look at my shirt...
Thursday, October 11
MJ was playing downstairs with her siblings and at one point she said to me, "Look at my shirt, mama," and she was kind of laughing like something was funny. I looked at her and didn't see anything that she might be showing me so I thought maybe she had spilled some water or something on it. Well, a few minutes later I picked her up to take her upstairs for lunch and I felt something weird around her middle. When I got upstairs I took a look and found that she had been putting things down her shirt and onesie. This is a picture of everything that I found in there:
BYU/Rocky Mountain Invitational
Tuesday, October 9
When we found out that M&M was going to be performing in a band competition at BYU, DH and I decided that that might be a fun one to attend with some of the kids. It was going to be on a Tuesday evening, but with the kids off-track from school it wouldn't be a big deal. We decided that we did not want to take Kay and MJ with us so we gave Luke the option of staying home and babysitting them or we would find a babysitter if he wanted to come. He decided to stay home and watch them and we took Blondie and Kitty with us. Blondie we were unsure of at first because she had been sick the day before but she was feeling better on Tuesday so she came as well.
It was kind of fun being back at BYU and it was really nice being able to sit high up in the stands so that you could see the whole show and see better what formations the bands were making. DH brought his camera and tripod and videotaped the performance and I took some pictures with our point and shoot camera.
Running on fumes...
This is what M&M's marching band schedule has looked like for the last couple of weeks. And on top of that she still has school and homework. Needless to say she has been literally running on fumes over the last little while. They regularly have about 3 rehearsals a week for 3 hours each and then a competition and sometimes a football game. They have really lucked out with the weather this year. It has been a pretty mild fall season. It seems crazy that the season is already almost over! I think it will be a relief but at the same time I think she will really miss it! She's already talking about and looking forward to next year and learning a new show!

Primary Sacrament Meeting Program
Sunday, September 30
This year's program ended up being pretty crazy because of some crazy scheduling in the fall. Our ward ended up having Stake Conference on September 16, the Brigham City Temple dedication on September 23 and then our primary program the following Sunday. Because of that we didn't have a lot of opportunity to have the kids practice. I wrote the program this year - one of my duties as the 1st counselor in the primary presidency. Last year I was put in the calling at the very end of July and the counselor before me had already written the program and so I just had to make a few changes here and there.
Since we have Sacrament Meeting last we were able to practice with the kids all during our primary time and it actually turned out pretty well. I was quite pleased. We had the Sunbeam class sing the first verse to "Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam" by themselves and it turned out really cute. I think the whole congregation really enjoyed that. I gave all of the kids speaking parts this year. We also had a new family move in that week and because of a few missing kids we were able to give them speaking parts in the program. I think their parents were grateful for that. And unlike last year we ended almost exactly on time (last year we ended about 10 minutes early).
My parents were able to come and watch the kids in the program and then they stayed for dinner afterwards.
Bridgerland Band Competition
Saturday, September 29
DH decided to go to one of M&M's band competitions that took place in Payson, UT. It was his first time seeing the whole show. The band ended up doing pretty good and finished 3rd in the 5A division (the group for the largest bands). I stayed home to attend Kitty's soccer game and watch the younger kids.
Brigham City Temple Dedication
Sunday, September 23
The First Presidency canceled regular church meetings in Utah so that everyone could attend the dedication of the Brigham City Temple. There were 3 sessions and since the younger kids (Kitty on down) were not able to attend, our family went in shifts. I took M&M, Luke and Blondie to the 9 a.m. session and DH stayed home to watch the younger girls. Then DH went to the 12:00 session and I decided to attend with him so that he didn't have to go by himself. Later in the afternoon we went over to my parents' house for dinner.
More gymnastics pictures
Wednesday, September 26
DH was able to come with me to Blondie's gymnastics class and take a few pictures with his camera:
