Snaggle Tooth

Hayden lost one of his baby teeth, unfortunately until the other one fell out he looked like..... well this. He would not pull out the other tooth even thought it was totally ready. So I told him his new name was snaggle tooth until his other tooth fell out.

Keep the Commandments

I went to pick up Hayden and Coy from school, which I do twice a week because their bus ride is so long, and his teacher told me a cute story. She said they were talking about respect and what it meant. Then she had each of the students tell something that was respectful, as she went around the children said the normal things like, be nice, tell the truth ect.. When she got to Coy said we have to follow Jesus Christ's Commandments. I was so pleased and amused. I guess the hold to the rod FHE stuck that we did the night before.

As if that story about Coy wasn't funny and cute enough the most recent one is more creative. Again picking the kids up from school and talking to the teachers. This time Coy was writing in his drawing in his journal and his teacher came around to ask what his drawing was about so she could write it down. He said, "This is a monster from and dream and he is allergic to nice." Hahaha. What a kid, she thought it was so funny she had to tell it to another teacher and obviously I think both are worth noting in my blog. Coy Coy Coy, boy we love that kid.

Apple Picking

One of my favorite things about living in New England is the fall when the colors start coming out and the apple orchards are full.

There is nothing like a fresh crisp apple right off the tree.

I think Grady agrees. The kids had fun filling their bags, but sadly it didn't take them very long to do it, so our time at the orchard was shorter than expected but we still had fun.

We went home and I made home made applesauce and canned it. Coy and I love just plain unsweetened home made applesauce. HMMMM!

They had quite the day today between soccer in the morning, apple picking in the afternoon, and then the park later in the day they were pretty tuckered out. I only wish everyday could be as smooth and full of fun like this one. But that's not life so I try to really appreciate and enjoy days like this one.

My Life

This is my life. 2 1/2 and still intentionally destructive. As the old saying goes "It's a good thing he's cute." ;)

Soccer

Right now we are trying out a little bit of everything.

I think we have decided that T-Ball is not a favorite, but Soccer is yet to be determined.

At first they didn't like it so much because they had never played much, but now they are getting better and starting to like it.

I don't care if there super star athletes I just want them to be healthy and active.

First Day of School

I can't believe Hayden is in first grade, Coy's in kindergarten and it's just me and Grady every day.

Coy did so well no tears, a little apprehensive, but also excited. They both did so good.

This is what they chose for their fist day of school outfit.

Stud number 1.

Stud number 2. I miss them when there gone but they are learning so much and love it. I am so happy for them. Hayden is now reading small books and Coy is starting to comprehend and addition and sight words. They are both so smart, we couldn't be more proud.

Failed Attempt

So it goes and is my history with potty training that I have one failed attempt, before we have success. I happened with Hayden and Coy and despite my efforts and beautiful art work it happened with Grady. Oh well we'll try again in a few months. Or maybe he will do it on his own before then, since he is going on his own once in a while.
