October Update

My sister Amy and her family adopted this beautiful baby girl Grayson Sophia Mahler (Sophie). She was born on October 4th, 2008 at 5:13 p.m. weighing 6 lb 5 oz. I am so happy for my sister and her family. They are so excited to have this new addition to their family and have so much love to give her. I can't wait to meet her!



In all my travel adventures I went to Hartford CT the first of the month. Here are a few pictures from my trip. I feel so blessed to have a job that lets me travel and meet new friends. Kim and Tiff I had so much fun! Thanks for all your hard work. I am off to St. Paul this week and get to work with my sister Allison. So excited! I will post pictures next week.






Last but not least what is October without a Fall Festival and the Pumpkin Patch? Some friends from work and I took our kids to Cornbelly's at Thanksgiving point. The kids had so much fun.

Fall Soccer Season Has Begun

Both the kids are playing soccer this year. Its Abbi's first year and still a little iffy on the whole idea of running and kicking a ball. Once she starts playing she has fun. (She dosen't like to admit it) Her team is the PURPLE BUTTERFLIES, they all look so cute in their purple uniforms.



This year will be Carson's fourth year and is enjoying it more than ever. This year his team is a little more competitive and playing is more serious with a ref. Carson was suprised, he is so excited to be back on the playing field. They call their team the BLUE COURGARS. (Coach must be a BYU fan)

Fun at the Fair

Sunday we took the kids to the Utah State Fair. Brandy, Brenda, Riley, Ryan and Kelli went with us. It was so fun being able to hang out with them. The kids had so much fun. Abbi said that the cows were really stinky, Carson said the Home Craft exhibit was driving him nuts. Abbi's favorite part was riding the pony and seeing all the bunnys. Carson's favorite part was the big yellow slide that we all went down. All in all we had a very enjoyable time with our family. Here are some pictures of our exciting day at the fair.

NERDS

We went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth in 3D yesterday. So the kids got these 3D glasses to watch the movie. Now they just think they are pretty cool to wear. I have to laugh everytime I see them, they look so cute and so nerdy at the same time.

Tagged!

Angie TAGGED me and I haven't done this before. So here is my best shot at it.

The Rules:
• Link the person(s) who tagged you.
• Mention the rules on your blog.
• Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours.
• Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them.
• Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they have been tagged!

1 - Well just like Angie I too have a very hard time picking out which movie to watch. If I remember seeing it, then I can't watch it.

2 - I twirl my hair when I'm thinking, tired, or bored. Don't know why, just a habit I picked up and can't seem to stop.

3 - I LOVE to watch the Disney channel with my kids.

4 - I would rather do yard work that house work.

5 - I take one of Abbi's stuffed animals with me when I go out of town to sleep with. Kinda funny, but if feels like I have a little of home with me.

6 - I love the smell of new plastic and books. Weird I know.

I TAG Brenda, Kim Garner, Connie, Libby, Lynn, and Allison

First Day of 3rd Grade

Wow! I can't believe I have a 3rd grader. It seems like only yesterday he was just a baby. Carson got up early Monday morning and was ready just in time to go to school. He was a little nervous when we got to the school but as soon as he found his friends he fell right back into the school scene. Carson has 2 teachers this year, Miss Doxey, and Mrs. Dolling. He is so excited to have 2 cool teachers and to get back to learning. He's not to excited about having to learn cursive this year though. This morning Carson asked me what he should be when he grew up. I told him that he can be whatever he wanted. So he goes on to tell me that he wants to take care of the animals at the zoo. He says "I want to help train the orangutans". I told him if that what he want to do then go for it. Kids say the cutest things!

On our way!

I am sitting in the Phoenix airport with my wonderful sister. We are on our way to work a show in Tulsa, OK. My sister (Allison) was so good to come with me at the last minute. Thanks to her family for letting her go! Will post more about our weekend later.

Day at the Zoo.

This summer has flown by and I haven't been able to spend alot of time with the kids.I was in Charlotte, NC last weekend and leaving again tomorrow for Tulsa, OK, so today I took the day off work so I could spend the day with the kids. We decided to go to the zoo for the day. We pack a picnic and set off to the Hogle Zoo. The kids were so excited to see all the animals at the zoo. Abbi's favorite part of the zoo was the carousel and the train. We saved them for very last. Carson loved the Ghost of the Bayou. A rare white crocodile. Carson was the photographer at the zoo, I think he got a picture of everything we saw. We had so much fun, I sure enjoy these moments I get to play and be with my kids.
