3 touchdowns, one called back because of a bad motion call, two interceptions, one pick six. An all around great game for Dallin. He is #88.

Friday...supporting the TEAM

Firday...day before the big game. I thought it was great how all of the older kiddos wanted to wear Wheelz' jerseys. They are so much fun. And what a great game it was. Riverton played Alta and won 19-7. Highlight video to come later this week. :)

I want to take the bus to school!

I had to take a picture of the bus that comes and gets Bella for school...it is a full size bus and I am quite impressed that it can come and maneuver in our circle. Bella loves the bus...most days!! :)

First day of MOMMY PRE-School

My little girls were so excited to start mommy pre-school this year. Meaning that I have chosen to teach them this year. :) They wanted sack lunches...just like the big kids. TOO FUN!!

First Day of School...for Elementary

We are now in our 3rd week of school and my children are really enjoying being back in school.
Here are some pics of their first day...Wheelz and Zbolt are in 6th grade, Dibber is in 4th and Bella is in 1st.

So much to catch up ... Top Ten things of Summer

Top Ten TYCKSENINGS to happen this Summer:

1. We went as a FAMILY to see the Oquirrh Temple Open House....WONDERFUL!!!

2. T T attended 2 camps and pioneer trek, all in one month. And the next few months read over 15 books. And also starred in her first musical, "Enchanted."

3. Wheelz' team took championship during the Riverton baseball season. He continues to be SUPER FAST and it was so much fun watching him tear it up ...stealing bases. Look at that concentration ... eye right on the ball. And he also has read quite a few books this summer. :)

4. Z bolt's softball team was state champions and Lauren won the "fastest base runner" in a competition in Park City in her age group. And her group of 5 girls won the "around the horn" competition also.

5. Dibber played softball and made the ALL STAR team and she turned 9 on May 31, 2009. She earned the nicknames...wheelz, crazy legs and turbo this summer because of her speed.

6. Bella learned to ride a scooter, still loves her pink blanket and LOVES everything about LIFE, especially food and drawing. She also went to the Zoo and finsihed Kindergarten.

7. Baby girl turned 2 on May 25, 2009. And some of mom's favorite words to hear are "LIP - LOPS" (flip flops) and "NEP" for yep. TOO CUTE!!! SHe also likes to wrestle with Wheelz and bite his toes. She also taught herself to ride a scooter.

8. Lu Lu played T-ball and now refers to her daddy as "COACH." And also learned how to ride a bike without training wheels. She graduated from pre-school too.

9. Daddy wins "COACH OF THE YEAR" ... balancing coaching T-ball, helping coach softball, being official sports photographer for all the kids' teams, being on the Riverton Baseball Board...and now helping coach football. We love you COACH!! Plus he photographed 2 weddings, bridals and invitations. He is the MAN!! :)

10. Mom keeps moving getting everyone where they need to be ... between Wade and I ... I think we earned a GOLD MEDAL in CHAUFFEURING. And she got to go to girls camp this year too. Oh, and Uncle Mikey and Katie got married and mom had fun making a scrapbook for them.

Hope everyone's summer was a happy one.

Keep Timmy in your prayers

Our neighbors, the Dixon's are such a great family and their boy, Timmy is very sick and is in the ICU at Primary Children's . You can read about him on their blog. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer and right now Timmy needs all of our prayers.

Happy Father's Day, Wade!

"The greatest thing a FATHER can do to his children, is to love their mother."

Wade, thank you for all you do for me and our sweet family! You are an amazing daddy and husband.

Thank you for loving me and for being mine!!!

Happy Father's Day!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Fun and very Cute ... Pass it on gift!!!

I came home the other day to find this very cute apron waiting for me. My sweet friend, Kristen Flandro made it for her "pass it on" gift to me! WOW!!! Thank you so much Kristen! I love it and ESPECIALLY LOVE wearing it! I call it my happy apron. I have gotten so many compliments. It is just so fun to wear and THANK YOU AGAIN!

Finding JOY at school

Last week I had the opportunity to go to my childrens' school and be the teacher for about an hour, so that their teacher could have an extra long lunch. It was so much fun. Lu Lu came with me and had a great time eating lunch and playing on the playground. I have never eaten lunch at the school and it was quite the adventure. :) Here on some of pictures at recess.This picture is a classic ! Dibber loves ears and is constantly rubbing hers and others' earlobes. Here she is with Lu Lu ... tweeking the ear! So funny!!

Bargain of the day

Smith's in Herriman has 10 x 15 " glass pans on sale for $5.79. I was excited to find it and then I came home and Wheelz and Dibber helped me do my first "glass etching." It was very easy and it turned out great. You can find more info and instructions on my other blog Natalie's Creations. You can find the pans at the back of the store by the ice cream. ENJOY!!

Friday - Pajama Day

T T was so glad that they got this day approved. She is an 8th grade SBO (student body officer) and so she got to help plan spirit week.

I actually got her yawning in this one.

This morning she just chuckled when I said, picture time. Silly mom and all her pictures....but, that is part of my job description right?!

I want to be a ROCKSTAR!

Actually, I don't know if T T would ever go that route, but, here is her outfit for "ROCKSTAR THURSDAY."

Wild West Wednesday

T T would love to own a horse and live on a farm one day. And seeing her in a cowboy hat, I can see why. She makes a very cute "COWGIRL". She said this is her favorite day so far!








Thanks to Aunt Stef for the hat and jacket. :) And can you believe that my cowboy boots almost fit her. She is growing up!!!

St. Patrick's Day...better late than never!
