I Spy Reagan

Reagan got his first Scholastic Book Order this week and has spent quite a bit of time, "Spying". He wanted a set of 12 I Spy books that went through the alphabet and he has loved them. He has an I Spy DVD game that has some of the same pictures and he was ecstatic as now he can compare the books and the DVD to help him find more things.

Elise's new hobby

Today I had quite a bit of "stuff" to catch up on, Enrichment Super Saturday preparation, write a letter to EJ, pay bills, do laundry, make a menu, a grocery list and whatever else came up. I decided I needed to find something for Elise to do, while I worked, Mollie slept and Reagan was at school. So I pulled out some fabric, a needle and thread and let her go. She loved it and did a great job. It kept her busy for a little while so that is a good thing.

I also need to include this picture of her. Saturday morning after I got home from running, Tyler took off to go and Elise was bugged because she wanting to go, so I told her to get her shoes on and when Tyler got back, she could go with him for a jog, so she did and she was on top of the world with that one.

It's Back

Survivor: 7:00 Tonight on CBS
Need I say More?

I love my kids!

I haven't posted very many recent pictures of the kids and I took these just this last week and I love them, both the pictures and the kids. The kids decided they wanted to help get Mollie up the other morning, but they just joined her instead. Quick update on them all:Reagan is doing so well in school, he loves it and is so smart. Elise takes great care of Mollie and keeps things fun and interesting around here. Mollie is such an amazing baby, I can't get over how happy she is. So here they are.

Twin Falls Rim to Rim 2007

Rachel and I just after finishing

Two of my beautiful sisters , Paula and Rachel

Tyler has been a huge support on this and I can't thank him enough for encouraging me!

I did it! About 5 years ago a friend of mine ran the TF Rim to Rim and I was so impressed and very envious that she was able to do that after having three kids. There have been a few years in there I have looked into doing it, but for one reason or another I have been unable and this year the planets all aligned and everything worked out so I could run in this 7 1/2 mile race from one side of the canyon to the other and back to the beginning. It involved one very big, steep uphill, a few smaller hills, a steep downhill, a trek across the Perrine Bridge and a ton of fun. I ran with my sister Rachel who came up from Provo to do this and we had a ball together. Tyler was there with the kids and it was just a great event all around. Thank-you Tyler for your support, Paula for your training help through the summer and for coming to be with us, and Rachel for making the trek up here to do this and Matt for driving her. I can't wait for next year to do it again.

Gotta Love Kindergarten Soccer

Reagan had his first Kindergarten soccer game last night and they did awesome. He has some really good teammates and a very good looking coach, (OK so it's Tyler). They did really well and boy is it fun to watch. There are four players on a side and the coach gets to stay on the field and coach as they go. They tend to get sidetracked occasionally, but overall these boys are pretty impressive. They don't keep an official score, but our team won by about 4, so we were all pretty happy about that. Elise was quite the cheerleader on the side and was the first to be in the huddle when they were talking. She is very anxious to be a 5 year old and get to do all the things Reagan has started doing this year.

I'm a Fantasy Football Widow

Well the time of year has come once again to say good-bye to our beloved husband and father. We will miss him oh so much, but by January he will return again to our presence. Football season has arrived, and between BYU and the NFL, well, let's just leave it at that. I have to say, he does have a reputation and title to defend.

The Larsen Family has been competing in Fantasy Football for the last 4 years and Tyler has won the last three years, so there is a lot of pressure riding on it this year. I was involved the first year and thought, oh this will be fun to do this as a family, but shortly into the season, it hit me. I HATE Professional Football, so I said good-bye to the competition and to Tyler for the season (In case you are wondering who won the first year, I did, because Tyler managed my team, but don't tell anyone. :) ). Tyler we love you, this one's for you! We'll see you in January.
