Sara's nearly crawling

This wasn't a score, just a good play in the first half.

So BYU lost Saturday. O well. But we got together at grandma and grandpa's. Sara took her first arm "steps" while there.

(Cesar isn't always working! Here's proof.)
The crew on Cesar's day off for the week.

It was getting late and the bugs started coming out.

At first when I saw the picture I thought I had mud on my forehead.

Cesar

I showed Cesar my blog and he wanted to post stuff, which was great. Then he said, "I'm going to make my own." So now his blog has way more on it than mine does and he started last night. But he's writing his in Spanish for his family. He called me today from well baby nursery call and told me to check out his blog. He didn't know what to say about me (he put a little blurb about the rest of the family) because all I do to him is whine about how hard it is when he's not home. So I said well, I'm going to play in the region volleyball tournament this week. I saw a sign for a 5k run on Thanksgiving day and I'm thinking about finding out more about it. He's like, "Isn't Thanksgiving pretty soon and that's a long run." "Yeah, I'd have to start running more tomorrow." I better do it so I will have something to write about other than how hard it is that I have five kids, a house, a resident husband who is never home and when he is, he is doing stuff like fixing cars, chopping wood and still working since he still has notes to write. Okay I better go to bed so that tomorrow I can run and have something else to do other than be too tired to do anything. :) Hopefully Sara will sleep well tonight and I can get up more than five minutes before I have to take Isaac to violin practice. I fed the sister missionaries tonight and tomorrow I will go visit a sister who just had a baby. Today in church, for the first time I asked one family to take Miriam and the branch president's wife came and took Reed so I only had Sara and the two older boys. For some reason that was enough. Sara was tired, it being her naptime. I'm thankful for that help today. Otherwise I just might have left church with not being able to handle Miriam and Sara and keep the three boys quiet.

Isaac's soccer

Isaac and Hyrum playing soccer

Thanks to Tiffany, Isaac and Hyrum played AYSO soccer. Yesterday was the last game of fall season. They had a great time and I'm so glad they played because it gave them something really fun to look forward to each week.

Halloween

School's going and things are calming down

It's naptime and I hear Miriam in her room talking. That is just the way it goes around here. She has to have things her way and Sara makes things tricky for her. This picture was taken a couple months ago while in the islands the day Sara was blessed.
