I really felt like blogging tonight… like it’s been a long time… and I need to update. But I really have nothing to say. No new pictures. Why then do I feel so strongly to update the blog???
Brandon finished up his fall season of Soccer. He loves every minute of the games and practices. Mike also enjoys being the assistant coach (that just kinda happened last minute), but they have both enjoyed it so much. Brandon scored 2 goals and a few near misses. He was a great team mate and was always improving. I do have a couple pictures of his last couple games.
His coach was a fabulous coach. He made it so much fun and made them all feel so special. He made a certificate for each team mate and this was Brandons.
Brandon was sad to see his games end…. he asked me what he get’s to do next. To which I stated he get’s to go to school and do homework. 
Next spring games will start up again and he’ll be ready and waiting.
All the kids are growing so fast!
Emily is 2 months away from turning 7…. and that is just one year away from 8 and being baptized. She loves school and loves to read. She’s great at blocking out all the comotion and drawing herself into any book she picks up. She really is such a good big helper when I can get her nose out of a book long enough. If it were up to her she would read every minute of the day.
Alyssa is starting to find more use for words. Not all of them are clear but there are her constants and each day she is adding new words and practicing them all. She is a big girl now and wants no help from either of the big kids. So we hear alot of screeching and wailing from her. She love her baby sister E-ahh, and anytime she get’s a chance she’s helping in anyway she can…. wiping her face, not letting her put her thumb in her mouth, wiping her face, stealing her blanket, putting her pacifier in her mouth, taking her pacifier back out so she can put it back in her mouth. Such a big helper. And so very busy.
Leah is almost 5 months and growing so big. She loves to smile and coo at anyone that will sit close enough to her. She’s still got her blue eyes and light hair… everyone that sees her is just in love with her. She may just end up taking after her mom with the light hair, light skin and, and light eyes…. we’ll just have to wait and see.
I suppose I was able to find enough to talk about to justify a post. Maybe I was just feeling so blessed in my life right now and had to let it be known. I have the most wonderful family. I have the perfect husband (Mike may not be perfect but he’s perfect for me). I have good health, great neighbors, great friends… but most importantly (to me) the knowledge of a loving Heavenly Father that knows me and blesses me continually.
I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I love knowing that I can be together with my loving husband and kids and all my family forever! Not just til death do us part but forever. I count my many blessing and chalk this up as #1.
Life is good … LIFE IS GREAT!
