The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow. But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow. So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep! I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.

O.k. so I have figured out how to change the background and post but it might take a while to figure out how to put my pictures up. We do have some really fun ones too. Our trip to Disneyland, competition, baseball games, etc. We have been so busy that it just seems like it doesn't slow down.... Ever. I love our crazy busy lives and the wonderful family I get to share it with. So, that being said, hopefully, before Chloe graduates from high school I get the fun photos up!!! Wish me luck...

O.k. I guess since it's almost Christmas I better post some pics of Thanksgiving... Even though we were not all together this year I think we all had a good time. It seems as the family gets bigger and schedules get more demanding the together times are not nearly as frequent as they used to be! I hope when we are all rich and famous we can thow caution to the wind and party! We had a super time and enjoyed all the good food, from Mom and Aubree's pies to Annie and Keith's turkey..... But the games.... Well

Wow! We are finally blogging!! I guess that instead of just having pictures of the cutest kids ever, I should let everyone know what is going on...

CHLOE: She is the most fun 10 year old I know! She loves 5th grade and her teacher. She keeps us up on all the drama that goes with it too. :) We just got her first progress report and she is doing great! She tried out for, and made, the competition team(we are so proud of her). The team got invited to dance at Disneyland next spring! Since we decided to make it a family vacation as well, the other kids are singing her praises!!! She is a great kid!!! Oh yeah, we had her birthday party the end of September and that's a story for another post when Heather is here to help me get the pictures loaded!!!!!

SYE: The cutest 1st grader around! He is learning to read and is doing great in math. He made a few friends in kindergarten and most of them are in his class this year as well, I thought that might be trouble but his teacher says he is doing just fine. He is really getting into sports too. He played baseball in the spring and so we asked him if he wanted to play football this fall... He said,"which one is that?" I told him,"the one where you wear the helmet and pads and you get to tackle each other!!" To which he replied,"Can't I just play basketball?" He likes to play but not get hurt, smart kid.

EMMA: Precocious as she is cute and a 20 year old 4 year old. She is really having a great time in preschool, she can write her name and is quite a little colorer. She is in dance also and it sure is helping her to come out of her shell a little. She loves make-up, dresses, and always, dress up jewelry. Other than at Grandma and Grandpa's house her favorite place is on my lap watching Scooby Doo. I love that, I think as much as she does.

PETE: The high-speed 1 year old! He is cutting molars... need I say more? If you notice the post time you will be able to tell how we are spending our time, Pete and I. He has had a really tough time of it, I think we will both be glad when they are in. I am really glad that my job is at home with him and his siblings it makes the late nights much more tolerable. I can barely keep up with him, he likes to empty every drawer he can reach which could really drive me mad... I know I don't have far to go. It is funny how quick kids get when they are trying to keep up with older siblings.

MY HUBBY AND I: Frank is working over 100 hours a week and they are adding new plants all the time. He comes home spends a little time with the kids and then heads for bed. The kids really love having him around more so it is a little hard for them when he works these long hours. As for me, well, I do carpool for preschool, lunches at the school, help in the library for a couple of hours every other week, help(if it is needed) in Chloe's class, and I am the room mom in Sye's class. Then I spend some time with the side businesses I have gotten into...(check out my skin the next time you see me :) I also sell Pampered Chef). We are busy like crazy but we are enjoying life. I am glad however, that this weekend is conference... church is much easier when I can do it in my jammies!!!! Oh, and something I am really proud of... we finished the Book Of Mormon this week, it took us a while but we did it!!!! Chloe says next we are on to the Doctrine and Covenants! Hold On!!!!!
