{Mallory}

Mallory has been having a great time lately. Starting Kindergarten and soccer have been plenty to keep this girl busy.

Her kindergarten teacher is Mrs. Rigamoto and she has loved her. Every day she comes home from school excited about a new song, an art project, and chasing boys at recess. The other morning I was doing her hair and she said, "Mom I found the boy that I am going to marry." A little caught off guard I asked what his name was and if I should meet this boy since they were going to get married. She said, "His name is Cooper and you don't need to meet him yet because he doesn't know we are getting married yet." I asked her if he was cute and she told me that he was the cutest boy in class.... I was picking her up from school, as we were walking she told me she needed to whisper something to me, she whispered as she pointing ahead of us, "Mom that's the boy I was telling you about, but don't say anything, it has to be our secret.

On the first day of school I got to spend the 1st 30 minutes in Mallory's class helping her with a craft, watching her sing and dance, doing her 1st assignment. I was having more fun than her I think, she kept asking me if it was time for me to leave yet. This girl is definitely ready for the school experience. This year for soccer Mallory has lots and lots of friends on her team. We still are not sure if Mallory is loving soccer but we love to go to the games and watch her play.

{Lily}

My little Lily has had two huge 'Firsts' this last month.

When we got back from our vacation from Washington she found out that her friend Afton started riding her bike without training wheels. So, she was bound and determined to do it to. She begged and begged to have her training wheels taken off so finally Jared took them off for her and off she went. She needed a little help getting started but soon she was doing that by herself. She is one determined little girl. Once she puts her mind to something she doesn't stop until she gets what she wants or accomplishes what she started.

She also started preschool. This was a long awaited day. She has been asking to start school since Mallory started last fall. She has been so excited and I was nervous enough for both of us. I don't know why I worry about Lily more than Mallory when she is away from me but I do. I soon found out that I had nothing to be nervous about and she did just fine without me.

Lily and Macy, it always helps to have one of your bff's in your class

Lily before her 1st day of class, don't mind the mustard on her chin, don't worry I got it off before she went to class!

{Lewis}

Lewis has grown so much in the last two weeks. He just turned 9 months on the 11th. He has started sitting up by himself, crawling, pulling himself up, getting into every drawer that is low enough for him to open and pulling everything out, talking and laughing constantly, not to mention grown at least an inch in height, at least it seems like it, he is getting to be a pretty big boy.

Jared was so proud of him. We took him to his first ever high school football game and couldn't have been happier for the entire time. He would even put both arms above his head when the crowd would cheer, may have been coincidence, but it was pretty cute to see him get into it with the crowd. Jared even told me that Lewis may be ready to go to a BYU football game by the time he is 4. We'll see, Jared doesn't like to miss a play and a 4 year old my be a little bit of a distraction.

Absolutely loves bath time...

Lewis loves to eat tomatoes fresh out of the Garden
