Tanner scores a goal!!!

The cherry was put on top of Tanner's first official soccer season. For his last game yesterday, he scored a goal! He had come close a number of times, and finally did it! Thank goodness Mom was there to see him, with all the kids in tow, and Dad was subbing as his coach for that game. Way to go Tanner!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...for us parents!

• Megan started preschool!


• Tanner started 1st Grade!


• Zachary started a new preschool and gets to ride the bus!

Gavin has teeth!!! Pictures to follow shortly

He has been drooling up a storm, and now we know why! Yes, that is right. Just two days shy of four months old, we noticed a little tooth has popped through and another is just starting to. Evidently if you come out almost ten lbs. you do everything early, and make your mom feel as though she's been robbed of the infant stage!!!

Kids Swimming Lessons

Swimming Lessons

We have had swimming lessons every day this week and the kids have absolutely loved them and have done very well. If they could, they would live in the water! They are practically growing fins. Lessons were full for June and July at most pools, but we were able to get into the late session this month at the new and improved American Fork pool. We have decided it is the best pool in the Valley for watching little ones swim.

It is great and Tanner said on the way there today, "I really miss this city, mom." Brandon said, "Mom feels that way too!" It is so funny that he remembers so much about American Fork even though he was only 4 when he moved.

New photos of Gavin

New pictures of Gavin! He is only three months old, but looks bigger and more mature to us.



He is rolling & scooting everywhere!
He sleeps through the night and likes to turn over and sleep on his stomach. Most people say he is a miniature Brandon. Judge for yourself! The kids love him so much and even Megan seems to be at peace with the fact he is a boy! :)

Idaho Trip July 22-25

We took a little trip to Twin Falls, Idaho where Jen's sister Vickie used to live. We enjoyed visiting Shoshone Falls-called the Niagara of the West, which is just breathtaking! We then went up to Redfish Lake which is north of Sun Valley and just south of Stanley. It is a beautiful little lake and very kid friendly. It is shallow for quite a ways out, which was a surprise and we probably didn't need all the life vest-swimsuit precautions, but you can't be too careful! It also had a great sandy beach. The kids would liked to stay longer and Tanner loved the lodge where we stayed because all of the families were next door to each other and the kids could run and play with each other easily. The kids have had a busy, but fun July!

Gavin...infant or not... that is the question

I have decided we were robbed of having a little infant! Gavin not only came out almost 10 lbs. but he is just so anxious and quick to do everything! He is rolling everywhere now, and he looks like he is five months old. Now he is drooling and it makes me wonder if he is getting a tooth or something. He is a really fun baby and we enjoy him so much.

Kids are getting big-especially Gavin!
