My Helper

Since Case's boys are at school all day, he spends the day "helping" me. And although sometimes his "help" is not much help at all, most days I love it and I just love him. He is so much fun to have at the end of our little family. He's energetic and full of personality. I am already dreading the day he goes to kindergarten.

Pine Wood Derby 2010

Gage took first place at the Pinewood Derby this year! (I should probably note we only have 2 boys in the wolf den right now) But more importantly he had the coolest car out of the whole pack! Well maybe I'm a little bit prejudice, but really what is more cool than a VW. Grandpa "helped" Gage with his car this year and Gage was in LOVE with it. Thank you Grandpa!

9! I can't believe it. We celebrated Sunday at Grandma and Grandpa's and then again Monday on his real birthday. Gage has been wanting a BMX bike for a while so he was thrilled to go pick it out and get it. Gage loves being outside, riding bikes, playing catch. He loves playing the Wii, and he loves reading. He loves Scouts and basketball. And he loves wrestling with his Dad and his brothers. He is such a good kid and a great example to his brothers. We can't imagine our lives without him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GAGE!

I am the Walrus

I LOVE that my kids LOVE The BEATLES as much as I do! I LOVE

listening to them sing BEATLES tunes over and over again. I LOVE hearing

them pick their favorite BEATLES song and favorite band member, (sorry

Ringo, your never the favorite). Thank you BEATLES rock band and thank you

Grandma and Grandpa.

Catch-Up

The boys were "fighting" each the other one night at this is how Case ended up. I'm thinking he lost. And we had ANOTHER conversation about why we shouldn't "fight" or wrestle in the house, although I know it won't be the last.Poor kid, we felt bad but it was hard not to laugh every time we looked at him and the horn growing out of his forehead. After a couple days he was left with just a bruise.

Gage finished his first season of AAU basketball. It was his first time for organized basketball. Their was a couple kids who knew what they were doing but most didn't, it was a huge learning experience. And although it was a little hard to watch at times it was still way more fun for Lynn and I to watch than soccer. Gage finished great, he learned so much and he is so excited for next year already.

We took the cub scouts to tour the fire station and even got to see and ambulance leave on a call, which all the boys thought was awesome.

The kids had their school concerts and did great. Gage's grade played the recorders which he thought was so cool.

And Gage and Jett sat on Santa's lap at our ward party. Case would have nothing to do with him but a week later we were in Home Depot and he went over and said hi and shook his hand and when Santa asked if they had been nice Case and Jett both said yes and the n instantlylooked at me a little nervous, like I might tell him something different......nice.
