Gabe had such a great time playing on a competitive baseball team this fall. His little team was so fun to watch and they did a really good job. 
Callin works Saturdays and that is the day Gabe had his games, so Callin only got to go to a couple of them. We called and texted Callin as much as we could throughout the games so we could keep him posted. It was almost as if he were there himself.
Our family loves hiking all summer long. We went exploring on some back roads one day and had a really fun hike. This picture of Gabe and Kai was so cute because Gabe is always taking such good care of Kai. He is such a good big brother and it melts my heart to watch my boys play together and take such good care of each other.
Aren't these boys precious! I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
We had a make-it-yourself pizza night. The kids had a great time. Rolling the dough was a bit of a challenge but we did it.
Putting the toppings on was really fun. They are concentrating really hard on where those pepperoni should go. They didn't want to mess up.
And eating it was by far the best part. Look at those happy kiddos.
As many of you know, I love to run. This summer I talked Callin and our boys into running in a family race with me. Callin ran with Gabe and Avery and I pushed Kai in the jogger stroller. Gabe and Avery loved it, and I think Callin did too but he won't admit it. It was too early for him. Haha! They all said that they wanted to do it again next year and I already can't wait. Sorry about the blurry pictures.
Gosh it sure is early. Look it is still dark outside. Crazy people!
Callin went fishing on Bear Lake with his dad and came home with this huge thing. You should have seen Callin's face when he got home. He was grinning from ear to ear. He loves fishing and he could not have been happier to come home with such a prize. I guess it's not the best tasting fish but Gabe and Avery begged Callin to cook some up. Looks gross to me!
I can't believe my baby turned two years old! It seems like we just brought him home from the hospital. He has grown up way too fast just like Gabe and Avery. Kai has been nothing but sweet and happy and fun since the day he was born. He is so pleasant and such a polite little boy. I have never seen a baby this young have such good manners. One small example of his politeness was one morning when he was eating his breakfast at the table. I was sitting next to him tapping my fingers on the table waiting for him to finish when he put his spoon down and looked up at me and said, "please don't mommy." Then he picked up his spoon and went on eating. What a fun little boy he is. I am such a proud mama and I just love all my boys. Thanks sweet Kaibo for being a part of our family and happy birthday!
I know the first day of school was a couple of months ago but I have some catching up to do. Gabe has gone to a different school every year since he has started attending school. I thinks he thinks it's normal that when the school year is over you are done with that school forever. It's a good thing that my kids adjust well or I don't know what we would do. Gabe started second grade and Avery started Kindergarten. They both love their teachers and have made lots of friends. They even tell me they have girlfriends. I told them I can be their only girlfriend until they are twenty, and they agreed. We'll see how long that lasts.
This is Callin's new Optometry practice. It is called Healthy Eyes of Cache Valley and it is located in Smithfield. This is the waiting area and the optical center.
This is the exam room. We had a friend who is an amazing artist paint these pictures on the wall. Didn't she do a fabulous job?
Here is the front of the building. Doesn't it look nice? We are so excited to be here and love all the good people that we have met here. If you live close to the area and haven't had your yearly eye exam, come by. Callin would love to see you. The phone number is 435-563-2020.
