Fall Happenings

One of the highly anticipated events of this fall was the Fall Festival put on by the PTA.  The kids were so excited and I think their expectations were met.  One of their favorite things--face painting.

 We also got a new patio table right at the end of the summer and have gotten to enjoy it a few times with family barbecues.  (Jeff has really learned how to make a killer burger, I don't think I'll ever be able to eat fast food burgers again!)

 When these kids all get along, they really get along.  They come up with such fun games and enjoy each other so much.  Makes me so happy!

Movie night complete with popcorn while Jeff went on his Michigan trip.  We watched Paddington.

Ty Buddy

Ty is growing up, this fall, he is making the transition from toddler to little boy in a major way.  It is so crazy that our little buddy is growing up.

One of Ty's favorite things is to go on bike rides, he is pretty darn quick on his bike and will go on long rides--even 1 1/2 miles!!  

Ty has special love for each of us (probably because we all adore him too)  Here he is hanging out with Dad, reading the ads.

Here is Ty with Austin, he gets so excited to see both of his brothers and sister when they come home from school everyday.  Austin and Scott always make a fuss when Ty is waking up and going to sleep--greeting him with songs and happiness, lots of hugs, etc.

And of course, this boy is nothing without his trucks.  He is almost always carrying around a little truck everywhere.  He loves to sneak outside when mom isn't watching and come play in the front flower beds with his trucks.

Ty has also made his first friend where they actually want to play together--Max.  They are cute little buddies.

Ty is also talking like crazy now.  Once he started, he never looked back.  He talks in full sentences with all the inbetween words, uses pronouns and can communicate really well with about anybody.  He also LOVES to sing.  Yesterday at Sams Club, he sang all of his favorite primary songs on the karaoke they had set up (and through a fit when it was time to go).

Ty continues to be a joy (even with all the fits that are par for the course at this age) and is learning and growing so much.

BYU Fall Sporting Events

We started off the fall by attending a BYU women's soccer game as a family where they played Utah.  It was a PACKED house--the most sold out ever!  It was a pretty exciting game though and luckily, BYU won!  (Austin, Kate, Scott)

Jeff and I also got invited to the BYU vs Boise State game with the Neiders, what a fun night and an incredible game!  BYU won with a last second hail mary (the second time they won that way this season)
