My Little Helper!

Teepa was such a great help around the house today. She has taken an interest to moping. This is now her weekly chore she has to get done before she can go out and play. She is very detailed about the job. She made sure to back track and lick the floor dry to make sure it had an extra shine. Thanks for the help Teepa!

Go UVU!!

It's been a beautiful weekend here in Provo. The UVU Wolverines won the United Soccer Confrence regular season Championship with a 3-0 win against Longwood University. The Wolverines were undefeated in confrence play and are having the best season in school history with a 10-5-1 record! (10 wins, 5 losses, 1 tie) There is one more home game for the season this Monday, and then they are off to Virginia Oct.31-Nov. 4th to try and take the Conference Tournament Championship. We would like to thank Brent's #1 fans (his parents) for attending home games this season. Go Wolverines and go Coach Anderson!

October 12th in Utah!

We woke up this morning to 2-4 inches of snow! Should we be surprised? It's Utah! Our heater is officially programed to be on, and the electric blankets are plugged in for the evenings. The weather officials said that we were going to have an early winter....and what do you know. I guess Trick-or Treating will consist of bundling up in coats and gloves this year. Kaiya was the only trooper to go out and play in the snow first thing at 9 am. I think she ate as much as she could off of the trampoline. She loves the snow. She thought for sure that we were having Christmas that day.

Pumpkin Time!

We went to a local home here that sells pumpkins every year in their front yard. I think they are the most cost efficent and best pumpkins in town. It's run by a cute little old farmer who takes great pride in his patch. It's a very simple set up with piles marked with $1, $2, & $4. The way I like to shop. Picking a pumpkin is a very serious and personal thing with my kids I guess. It only took us about 30 minutes or more for each of them to decide which one was going home with us. I think Kaiya thinks they are real people. She carries her all over with her and shows it off to all of her friends. This year is the "small green" pumpkin theme for her. Yes, Tennessee has braces, and the boys are growing their hair long. Tenne likes that he can now shake his hair and feel it move back and forth. Today was school picture day. Yikes....it sure will be a great photo to remember, because their hair is in the " in-between" stage. Easton likes to comb his hair straight up after he takes a shower. He looks like a porcupine. It's pretty funny. Happy October to everyone!

13 Weeks!

I'm finally to my 3 month marker, but still sick as ever. Our baby is the size of lime, but my belly is the size of a soccer ball. It's amazing how fast your belly grows after you have already had 3 kids. We will find out the sex of the baby in November. For now we have heard the heart beat and all seems to be well.

Puppy "Teepa"!





Okay, I know I should be posting photo's of my kids, but we really haven't been doing much lately. This is "Teepa". She is now 12 weeks old (as old as my pregnancy). She has grown alot since the last photo's I posted. You can see that we buy the teeny tiny bones (it's pretty cute). She has pretty much mastered potty training outside. She is always looking for an opportunity to sit on someone's lap and the kids maul her and she LOVE's it (good thing). I have finally reached the 12 weeks (3 months) of pregnancy. I am still in pretty bad shape. Throwing up has become a mastered art. Brent is on the road alot with soccer right now, and boy....do I have the most amazing support here in my ward. This past week I had 3 meals brought in, my bathrooms cleaned, my house totally vacuumed, a fresh smoothy, a healthy omelet, and my mom is coming to stay the weekend. This has all been so helpful. I have a hard time getting out of bed, and my trips to the store have become very limited. I hope that there will be more positive changes now that I am past the 12 month mark. Wish us luck!

Puppy Love!



We are crazy! And we are crazy in love with our new puppy. We seriously never thought that we would ever be dog owners. It's that look on Kaiya's face! Our pup is 8 weeks and a pure bred "mini-pin". We have named her "Teepa". We are crate training her and she has it down after 4 days! We have had only one potty accident in the house. "Good Girl". I was looking for a project to work on while pregnant, and I guess this is what it turned into. She loves to cuddle and chew, chew, chew. She seriously love to be rocked in Kaiya's doll bed. They make a perfect pair.
