Cross country braids are a family effort!


Lainey has been crushing her XC races!!  She's come in second for her first two meets!






Volleyball


Hailey is a great volleyball player!  She's one of the better servers on her team!




First game and first WIN of the season!

Soccer

New season, new ORANGE cleats!



Our girl sure has some hustle on the soccer field!  She's so fast and one of the major goal scorers for her team!  (Plus, Dad gets to help coach this season!)

Big win for the "Cheetahs" first game!







Piano

We are SO proud of the progress Caleb has made in only a month!

He is very lucky to have such a great teacher at home!

September Memories

Lazy labor day

They really are very best friends!











I will be sad when he stops asking me to "babysit his loveys" while he's at school ;)




We love it when we get to hand with Flossy!







Chaperone Doug

We definitely missed our guy while he was chaperoning the Junior class trip.  He spent almost two weeks hiking Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon and The Grand Canyon.























The kids kept a diary for Daddy so he wouldn't miss anything while he was gone.
