Preschool for Macie loo hoo


We just got pictures back today of Macie's preschool class this year and I LOVE them. (Fantastic job Camille!)



These are some of my Fav's.



Enjoy!

Banana Slugs!

Connor is on a basketball team for the first time this year and he is loving it. The name Banana Slugs comes from the yellow and black jerseys and his coach is our longtime family friend (and his future father in law) Rob Coffman.

Mind you, these are all 6 year olds but Connor is pretty darn good. The first game he scored at least 7 times but since that game, because of the exciting cheering he gets when this happens, he tends to be a ball hog. We're working on that.

(If you look really close in this picture you can see him whistling. He whistled the music from Harry Potter the entire game)


.


This is the first sport he has played that when he is done he is dripping with sweat. It is a good workout for him. He's excited to go to practices and games for the basketball itself but...




mostly to see Isa.

Thankful Tree

.

This Thursday is Thanksgiving and usually I just want to get past it and onto Christmas, but this year I really wanted to make sure we carved out time to stop and be truly thankful.


We all made a list of the things we were thankful for that day, and then that week, and finally what we were thankful for that year. We all took turns telling everyone and then writing it on a paper leaf and adding it to our Thankful Tree.





Some of the things are silly and minor, but they were also very thoughtful and came up with some that I never would have thought of.


I am so thankful for my little family.

We have been so busy around here lately.
Some of the highlights are that I got to spend a whole weekend with some of my FAB girlfriends up in Bend, shopping and eating, and shopping and eating!! So great.

The kids have been spending time getting ready for their Primary Program, playing in the Fall leaves with friends and passing around a yucky 24 hour tummy bug. And the last couple of days we have been spending time with Olsen cousins doing some spelunking at the Lava Beds, frying up Scott's Halibut from Alaska and freezing at the Parade downtown.

We have all been Loving the Zumba classes at the YMCA and I took a fuzzy quick video of the girls getting their workout on. Also, because I think it is stinkin' cute, I threw in one of Macie right before Preschool. Enjoy!
