We're Alive!!!!

I had a friend call and check up on me today because she hadn't seen me in a while and wondered if I had fallen off the face of the earth. So much has happened since July when I posted last, but I'll just fill in the major blanks and not bore you will itty bitty details-You're welcome!

Robby:
-Loves to make the kids laugh. He is so good at changing their moods from grumpy to happy!
-Been up on the roof trying to fix our swamp cooler so that we can turn the air off and save some money.
-Was released from Elder's Quorum Secretary and hasn't received a new calling yet.
-Stays busy with our computer company, and loves to solve odd problems.

Kim:
-Was called in September to be the Young Women's Secretary.
-Found out we were pregnant September 19, but we had a miscarriage on October 12 when I was 7 1/2 weeks along.
-Drove for the first time to drop-off and pick up at the airport this week! Ahhhhhh that Scary!!!
-Made a "Wheel of Intouch" game for our networking group and got to be Vanna Kim!
-Finished all the gifts for the little cousins and friends for Christmas EARLY! Now to start on everyone else's gifts!



Emily:
-Loves preschool. She had a hard time being dropped off in the beginning, but now she goes in without a problem. Thank you Dairy Queen kid sized cones for being a great reward incentive!
-Loves cutting everything with scissors! She cuts so well at preschool on the lines! But right now she's grounded from scissors because she cut her hair again on the right side.
-Is going to be a cowgirl for Halloween and is counting the days.
-Starting to recognize words and might soon start reading!
-Has great hearing-when it's in her favor. She has a great memory and can repeat pretty much everything you tell her, especially if I'm trying to get out of something. We went to Mother Nature's Farm and she told my mom 'The kids cost $7 and the adults cost $3." She said it in her most adult voice with attitude! It made everyone smile! Her hearing goes out the window if you tell her to clean, get jammies on, or do something she's not hip on doing!



Nathan:
-Turned 2 on October 12. We had a construction themed party for him.
-Loves vehicles, mostly trucks (he calls the rucks)
-Loves to play outside with Emily. If we can't find Nathan, we just look outside and there he is covered in dirt!
-Going to be a cowboy for Halloween and got boots for his birthday. He calls them oots and shows everyone that will pay attention!
-Will walk up to anyone, win them over with his cuteness, and get them to do things for him. For example, we were at a park and he walked up to another mom he didn't know, and took her by the hand and took her over to the toy he wanted to play on and pointed that he wanted to be picked up. She did just want he wanted, all while a friend and I were laughing that the lady fell for his big blue eyes!




Our family is doing well and we have received so much love and support recently. We are so grateful for everyone that has thought of us and taken time out of their busy schedules to check on us and let us know they're thinking of us. That means so much to us-Thank you!
