Toby~Brielle's Soccer Team Assistant Coach

Toby is the assistant coach for Brielle's soccer team - the head coach is a friend of ours from our church ward and his daughter plays on the team as well. Toby coached the first game Saturday because our friend's family went on vacation so he filled in.  Brielle is #10.

Brielle loves having Toby help coach her. She said "It's cool that daddy is my coach!"

Brielle~T-CYSA Soccer~First Game!

Brielle - played her first soccer game with T-CYSA Soccer. This is the same soccer program Mikenna played with for 5 years. She loved playing! She played in the 3 River Soccer Academy this summer and had practices and games - so she was ready to play her first game! She has some wheels on her just like her sister Mikenna!!

Her facial expressions are so expressive! They crack me up!

Brielle~1st Day of Dance Class!

Brielle had her first day of dance class today! She was so excited! She told me on the way there that she wanted to dance to Hannah Montana songs - I said we'll see what your teacher has planned. They have a parent watching room - I stayed to watch. She absolutely loved every minute of the hour Jazz class! Her teachers are really upbeat and fun! I sat there thinking to myself - I don't know anything about dance - and I have a daughter that loves it - guess I am in for a ride. I am sure we have lots of dance recitals/costumes/practices in our future! I asked Brielle if they played Hannah Montana music - and she said - "Yes, they did, they played It's the Best of Both Worlds!" Her lucky day!!!

Jaron~Rim Rock Lake Camp Out!

Jaron went to Rim Rock Lake on a camp out this weekend. They went fishing as a troop. He's gone on enough camp outs to receive his Camping Merit Badge. He qualified for Life this month - just has to help a younger scout complete some tasks and then he can have his board of review. He has 3 more required merit badges to get and then he can go for his Eagle!! Hopefully he can accomplish that before he turns 15! The scouting program has been so great for Jaron. It's been a blessing in his life!

Brielle~Lost 2nd Front Tooth!

Brielle's 2nd front tooth fell out! Toby and I were on a date - and we got a phone call from Mikenna - saying Brielle pulled out her other front tooth. Brielle was fine - Mikenna didn't know what to do with the blood - she is a little squeamish - I told her to get a wet cold rag and put pressure where it was bleeding for awhile and it would stop bleeding - she got the wash rag and she had Brielle do the holding. Brielle has a box on her night stand to put her lost teeth for the tooth fairy - she is figuring out she gets cool stuff when she looses teeth - so she is helping herself out in the process of losing teeth - to get cool stuff from the tooth fairy. When we got home - Brielle was laughing at herself because she talks different now - it's so cute to listen to her talk without her front teeth!  It looks like she will have big teeth like I do.  All of my kids have my big teeth.  I think they will all need braces - but they will have beautiful straight teeth when it's all said and done!  Jaron has one more year of braces - and then shortly after he gets his off - Mikenna will probably get her braces put on.

I decided to get the kids pictured taken before this crazy school year started. I even got Jaron to smile and show his braces - usually he smiles but hides his braces from showing. I love how these turned out!

I love how Jaron is holding his sister's hands in this one - melts my heart!

Brielle~School Spirit Day!

Every Friday is school spirit day at Brielle's elementary school. I bought her a school shirt to wear every Friday. I'll have to get her a school sweatshirt for this winter.

My cutie!
