Happy....

I have said many a times how my little Cole has struggled in school from day one... But this year is different... He is doing so good, and really loving school... I was more than ecstatic when he brought home this letter the other day... He had received the Character Counts award for his class for this month... Only one kid per class per month is chosen... This month's award was for Respect.. They had this little ceremony for them and then gave them a certificate with some gift certificates on it... Happy day for Mom, and even happier for Cole... He was beaming... It was a surprise for all the kids, so that made it even better... SO proud of how far he has come.. Love ya Colie Wolie.. :)

The famous letter...


Cole's turn...



Cole & the Principal...

Picking Out Pumpkins...

One of the best parts about living in Utah is the Fall... Simply love it!! Love these burning bushes in our yard.. They are green all summer and turn deep red in the fall... LOVES...




I was trying to think back today about how old Court & Stock were when I first took them to the Pumpkin Patch... Little... We never went to a Pumpkin Patch growing up, we either grew them in our garden or bought them at Smiths... So when my Grandma invited us to go many years ago, I was hooked.... Every year and four kids later, always to the same farm... This year I had noticed this darling patch near our house and drooled over it every time I drove by, so we decided to switch it up a bit and go to a new patch this year... Loved it!!! Adorable!! Here are the darling pics we got... :)

Lil Bruiser...

It seems that no matter how much I tell the boys not to "play wrestle" (if there is such a thing,) they refuse to listen... Last week after I had left to take Court to school, they went about their play wrestling... When I pulled in, Cole was waiting at the end of the driveway, telling me "Mom, it's bad.." As I went inside, I found Stockton with Jaden holding an ice pack on his eye... When I asked Jade what happened he told me, "Me and Tole (Cole) were wrestling, and Stockty said STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP, STOP and we didn't and Tole head hit my face, and gave me a black eye.." The joys of having boys... This is not his first black eye and I am sure it won't be his last... :)

Day one...



Day four...
