September

I realized the other day that the last time I posted was in August, apparently I have blog spurts where I'm really good at keeping up and then I don't post again for over a month, so here is a glance at our September:

Mikelle lost her first tooth on September 1st


How 'lucky' was I to happen to get a picture of the tooth fairy on Mikelle.


The kids each wrote their names and drew pictures of the family on their white boards, I thought it was so cute.

 My brother Aaron and his wife Kayla had their baby girl on September 6th.

I woke up one Saturday morning to this; it's so awesome when kids can get their own breakfast, and he was so proud of himself!

One of the kids' favorite hiding spots.   I love it.

Tyrel in the Bubble Bath

Relaxing with Dad

We are trying really hard (somewhat hard) to get Tyrel to stay in his bed all night.  One night he kept calling out to me and I just kept saying 'Ty, stay in your bed and go to sleep.' When I went in to check on him later on, he had climbed on top of the slide (which he can't get down from) and was stuck and eventually fell asleep up there....
...Then a few nights later, the same thing, he was yelling and I was just telling him to go to sleep and when I went to check on him I found him like this.  At first I thought it was just cute, then I realized he had grabbed a bead necklace one of the kids had made and tied himself onto the Diego car so he could have a 'seat belt' and was stuck. He had it around his waist and then wrapped over the steering wheel.  I actually almost had to use scissors to cut the necklace off because it was on too tight.  Poor little guy, no great mom awards over here.

After looking at the chalk drawings, we headed over to the splash pad.

Tyrel fell asleep like this.

BYU Triple Crown Race

The BYU track team hosted an event called the BYU Triple Crown Race.  Anyone elementary school age could register to run in the 1 mile race at the BYU track with the track team.  Mikelle was so excited.  She had a little bit of a rough time. She got a side ache but fortunately there was a really nice girl on the track team who held Mikelle's hand and told her she knew she could finish the race.
