an update from my iPhone

We've been pretty busy around here. The only picture taking that's been happening has been on my iPhone. So, here is just a little bit of what we've been doing.
Soccer season is in full swing around our house. Andrew has practice twice a week and two games a week. Benjamin has practice once and a game every Saturday. They are both doing great!!

(It's hard to get a good picture with both the ball and the player in it.)

After soccer games we usually treat the players to a donut. As you can see, Levi LOVES donuts!

Sarah is doing cross country and is really enjoying it.

Spencer is doing piano lessons and Young Naturalist. He is always happy to go and support his siblings in their activities. He is also amazing at climbing trees.

Andrew got a new dresser. He's so happy with it that he's kept his room SPOTLESS for over a week now.

Our dad has begun decorating for Fall. We love this time of year!

Levi is at such a fun stage right now. He makes his family laugh every day and seems to only nap in the car going here or there. As you can tell from his reading material, he's a little obsessed with Scooby Doo these days. If we could only find him a Scooby Doo costume for Halloween!

It doesn't look like he's having fun, but a lady walked by and made a fuss about him which made him get all serious. He loved riding with Big Bird.

So, there you go. A little glimpse into our busy lives via my iPhone.

It's GREAT to be EIGHT!

In our family, we have a tradition that the eight days leading up to our children's baptism we celebrate them every day in a different way. You can read about Sarah and Andrew's "It's Great to be Eight"
here and here.
On the first day of Spencer'"It's Great to be Eight", Spencer and Mom went out on a date.  We first went to the Scout Store to buy Spencer's cub scout shirt and a few other things he will need for cub scouts. Then, we had lunch at Applebees.

On the second day, Spencer received a new set of scriptures.

On the third day, we had a special Family Home Evening full of fun games and a yummy treat.

On the fourth day, he received a special "comforter" from Nonnie and Grandpa.  This is to remind him of receiving the Holy Ghost and that it will be a special comforter to him throughout his life.

On the fifth day, Spencer and Dad went out on a date. They went out to eat at The Cheesecake Factory and shopped for new church shoes.

On the sixth day, he received a new scentsy warmer to remind him that the greatest "light" in our lives is our Savior.

On the seventh day, we had a special evening of going out to Joe's Crab Shack and we went to see the movie, Madagascar 3.
