soccer, ties, siblings and pets

Alright, we have had a busy last few weeks as we are settling into the school year and new routines. Dallin and Emily are both taking piano lessons and soccer is starting it's third week. Also, for those of you wondering, Devin and I are doing much better from the strep, (well except for the lovely diaper rash Devin has developed from the after effects of amoxicillin). Also, when we went to the doctor when he was sick last Monday, she found his first tooth. So cute!

Anyway on to a collection of pictures. This is Dallin out on the soccer field. He really has a great handle on things and is doing well.


Emily is still pretty scared of a ball heading in her direction, (too much of me in her), but she is improving. This is her first attempt at being goalie and she actually blocked two balls, which is awesome. See video.

And just the irony of her being a big grown up goalie and then coming home in the afternoon and crashing holding "pink baby" the doll she has slept with since birth.

Dallin really wanted to dress like Devin last Sunday, the ties didn't match, but the overall look was there. So, here are some good ones of my two cute boys.

There is about an hour each day (when Kylie gets home from school) that the two younger ones are on the floor together. Kylie is slowly warming up to Devin and interacting with him from time to time. She smiled and laughed with him for a few minutes the other day before scratching his forehead and knocking him to the ground. I am glad that I got a picture of the sweet part and not the brutality. :)

And lastly the kindergartners dressed up as community helpers last week and Dallin wanted to be a veterinarian. He wanted a blood spot on his dog, so he could "fix him" and a doctors coat, (which we fashioned out of one of David's old t-shirts. He had a really good time with it.

Well, that is it for now. Conference was great and uplifting. Also, it was so nice to have a Sunday just to stay home...thank goodness for cable. :)
