7th grade Football 2011

Well Matthew's football season is over. He had a great time!! We loved watching him. Last year I only took four pictures. This year there are a lot of pictures!! Matthew played defensive end. He worked hard. I had no idea how much of a size difference there was in 7th grade boys, some of them were bigger than Neil and a few were smaller than David. Matthew went up a couple of really big kids. The Powell Cubs won all of their home games, but they were winless on the road. What was really cool about football this year is that the entire Deacons Quorum in our ward played on the team together. We enjoyed watching them, they are a great group of boys!!! Hope you enjoy seeing a little of Matthew's season.

To thine own self be true

Joshua has a new cutest saying. The other day he had some scratches by his nose. Bethany asked him where he got them. He told her they were mosquito bites. She said, "I don't believe that." Joshua answered "I believe mine own self." It was really cute. Yesterday when he climbed up in the tree house he was so proud and kept saying "I did it mine own self." So I guess to thine own self be true. Joshua sure keeps us laughing and smiling. Too cute for his own good sometimes.

Lydia's crawling

The big news at our house is that Lydia is getting around. She is finding more things to put in her mouth. The children love to watch her and encourage her.

Slideshow of pictures of Lydia

I was just having fun figuring out how to use Smilebox so I made this slide show of Lydia. She sure is a pretty baby!! She is a very good baby. She is getting better about sleeping lately. She is learning to crawl and she just got her first tooth. She is the youngest of our children to crawl or get a tooth at not quite nine months. Hope you enjoy the slideshow as much as I enjoyed making it.

Too fair

Joshua has such an adorable new saying. When he doesn't like something or doesn't think it is fair he says "That's too fair." At least it sounds like I'm doing something fair.

What Dallin wants to be when he grows up...

Can you tell from his attire what Dallin wants to be when he grows up? I think he has been influenced by his biggest sister because he thinks pirates and this new pirate shirt are really cool. Isn't he an adorable pirate? I guess even pirates get worn out some days and just have to have a nap. I was grateful that he took this nap (they are hard to come by for Dallin) and that he didn't fall over board while sailing the high seas in his dreams.

Jennie hair just like Rebecca's

A couple of weeks ago MaryAnne wanted her hair done just like Rebecca's for Down in the Valley. She looked so cute. She kept asking me all day if her still looked pretty or if it was messed up. She loved looking like Rebecca.
