Men are governed by lines of intellect- women: by curves of emotion.

Congratulations, Skyler!



Skyler and her volleyball team played in the state charter school tournament all day Saturday. They played 4 games and lost the fourth one in a very close match. That was the first game they had lost all season. They placed second in the Silver Bracket! We are so proud of her and the rest of the team!

Our Budding Violinist


I'm so proud of Sibley. We never even have to ask her to practice!

Cutest Little Volleyball Player Ever




I know I'm partial, but I think she's so cute in her volleyball uniform. I'm so proud of her. She gets better and better at every game. Go number 23!

Busted Lip


Poor Sadie tripped in the kitchen and busted her lip on the floor.

This is what she's into these days:

Well, she's into everything because she can reach the bathroom vanities now.

She shakes her head and says "no" constantly. Her answer to everything is no.

She's a belly slapper. If you came to our house and sat on the sofa, she would plop down in your lap, pull up your shirt, poke your belly button, and slap your belly. She likes to slap her own belly too.

She can climb on top of the tables now too. She loves to throw everything from the tabletop to the floor.

Southern California, here we come!

Our family hasn't had a vacation in years, so we decided to go on a family vacation to a theme park in southern California for Thanksgiving holiday this year. In order to do that, we have to each raise $200. Skyler is babysitting, so if you need a babysitter, call or text her at 480.227.0902. Sibley is making and selling crafts and she has made her own blog to peddle her wares. Check it out at the link above. I'm saving my birthday money, and we're having a yard sale. We're already 1/4 of the way there, and we just started saving this week. Hopefully we can keep this momentum going!

And we've already decided the next trip we're saving for is going to be to Hawaii! (It may take us a few years to get there.;) We want to take advantage of BYU Hawaii's summer dorm offer. They sometimes open their dorms up to families in the summer time for cheap. We're dying to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center.
