living the dream skip to main skip to sidebar living the dream wednesday october 20 2010 end of summer update well it s time for another update so much has happened since the last time i wrote september has gone and october is cruising along we are enjoying watching the leaves change colors all around us it s fun to look across all the trees and spot red orange yellow green and brown many are falling we ve had fun with the shop vac on the back deck to help blow off the leaves that fall from the backyard trees these trees are so pretty behind our house but our backyard neighbor informed us that once the leaves are gone they can see anything and everything through our windows we d better watch out school is in full swing the kids are enjoying their teachers and classmates they like walking to and from school each day we have had a bit of rain so they have also had fun being dropped off at the kiss and ride our oldest is enjoying learning how to play the violin the practicing is hard but she plugs along she also has been going to a volleyball clinic which mom has been coaching it s their time away to play together she s learned bumping setting and serving i think she likes serving the best and she wants to learn how to serve overhand our son is liking cub scouts he earned his bobcat award at the last pack meeting we have another one coming up this week and he enjoys doing things with boys his age he has also had fun playing soccer his team is the asteroids he likes having dad coach they are improving each week his favorite part of soccer is hitting the ball with his head the middle one likes soccer too she has three sets of twins on her team it keeps things interesting we just hope the coach can tell them apart he should one set is his she also likes walking to school with a boy in her class the two of them have had playdates and were just chosen from the classmates to go to some extra meetings i think it s some sort of class representative thing our two year old keeps things interesting we ve decided that she is too big to wear a diaper so we are officially potty training she likes the idea of treats and stickers when she goes on the potty but actually getting her to sit on the potty is turning out to be tricky we ll see what we have to bribe her with she s also transitioning to no naps she stays up too late at night when she has a nap so we are trying to keep her up during the day so she can go to bed early at night that works fine until we re going somewhere in the car she always falls asleep she is also turning into quite the little singer she sings many songs that we sing to her at bedtime she also has been coming up with her own words they are hilarious the baaaby is cryyyyyyiiiiiinnnng all the tiiiiiiiiime the baby is such a sweetie except when she wakes up in the middle of the night and she s ready to play it happens often and we re going to have to let her cry it out she has a playpen downstairs for such occassions she loves to open cupboards and pull everything out she also puts everything in her mouth her favorite being toilet paper she would rather be outside than any other place she loves going on walks which is good for me so i can get in shape i just had a birthday celebration j surprised me with a columbus day bbq which he invited over 75 people to we had a great time and it was beautiful weather he cooked dutch oven chicken and potatoes and cobbler for dessert i also enjoyed a great trip to utah my cousin got married and it was so nice to be able to go and witness that as well as see some family members that i haven t seen in a while my great brother and his wife let me stay with them and their cute kids we had fun reading books picking pumpkins going on walks shopping eating out and playing the wii i was also able to see j s sister and spend a couple hours with her i miss my family so much it s hard to live far away from them all j competed in a triathlon he s been training for quite a while he gets up early and swims bikes or runs he has been very dedicated i think it payed off and he enjoyed the whole experience now he wants me to join him i don t think so well maybe someday we had a fun time at the kids school fall festival with games food and all kinds of fun things to do the girls loved coloring and decorating pumpkins while the rest of us played games and helped run some of them as you can see fall has been a great season for us we wish it could last a while longer posted by jeremy and tami at 12 21 pm no comments monday august 30 2010 our baby is 1 today we celebrated our baby s first birthday what a fun day complete with cake presents swimming friends and family you can see by the above picture that she is a very happy baby she cruises around the house on her two feet and hardly ever crawls she claps waves good bye and is getting her shrieking down pretty good she loves her brother and sisters and mom and dad too she brings a smile to everyone she meets we all love her so much posted by jeremy and tami at 7 43 pm 1 comment sunday august 29 2010 summer in virginia we are entering our last week of summer here in virginia the kids head back to school next week and boy are they excited from the moment we arrived to our new home they were asking when school started we officially registered them in their new school which is a short walk away we ve been buying school supplies and making sure they have backpacks shoes and clothes to help them through we re excited for them to meet some new friends and continue their learning adventures we ve enjoyed seeing some of the sights in our new state the nation s capital washington d c has been amazing we ve enjoyed seeing the monuments and getting back to nature in many of our area parks some of our favorites are burke lake park and hidden pond park we also enjoyed a super hot day at mount vernon we liked learning about our first president george washington we even saw some cute black piglets it was so hot though and we ll have to go back and enjoy a cooler day another time we had a fun time driving out to the country last saturday to go peach picking we were given peck bags and we filled 4 of them then we came home and made peach cobbler peach jam and we froze some and canned some what a lot of work but we ll enjoy the fruits of our labors for a long time to come another great thing that happened this summer was the 8th birthday of our son a j he was also baptized tami s mom and sister flew out and so did jeremy s parents it was a special time for him as he made an important decision to follow jesus christ i think he ll always remember that special day posted by jeremy and tami at 2 19 pm no comments friday may 7 2010 spring update so much has happened around here i ll try and be brief as i update ya ll i m picking up a little southern drawl during the last month we had a wonderful easter and general conference weekend enjoyed some international culture

summer so we are all in for a change we know we ll make some great new friends and we re excited for the upcoming adventures posted by jeremy and tami at 8 07 am no comments thursday april 1 2010 hoppin down the bunny trail we re trying to get ready for easter around here i wasn t sure whether to get the girls easter dresses this year or not easter is this sunday but it s also general conference so we can watch from the comfort of our own home without having to get dressed up as much as we like to do this we find that it s easier for the kids to pay attention and be reverent when we are sitting in the chapel so should i buy easter dresses i also would love to have the girls all in matching dresses but it seems like a challenge to find all the right sizes i guess i should learn how to sew so i can make them in whatever size pattern and color i want i sure do miss our tailor in china who made whatever we wanted even without a pattern we are also going to have an easter egg hunt and bbq with our neighbors tomorrow evening the weather has been warming up so nicely and it stays lighter a little longer now perfect ingredients for a spring get together don t you think our ward primary had an easter egg hunt last saturday elizabeth invited her friend from school everyone had fun finding the eggs and eating the candy they had some fun games in the gym for the kids to play too instead of a cake walk they had paper eggs on the ground with numbers on them as the music played the kids walked around the circle when the music stopped they called out a number the winner got a cute carrot i wish i had taken a picture of them but they were the triangular cake decorating frosting bags with orange cheese puffs in them tied with a green ribbon super cute i m going to have to remember that for future easter or spring favors maybe i ll make some for our party tomorrow night then i can take a picture of them for you to see thanks for hopping by hop back over to see final pictures of the easter baskets as well as pictures from our spring get together posted by jeremy and tami at 10 51 am no comments monday march 29 2010 baby is growing happy 142nd month anniversary

up tomorrow our sweet baby will be 7 months old where does the time go she is such a joy she always has a quick smile to give you and loves the attention that the kids give her she sits on her own and is starting to maneuver herself all over the floor she looks like she s trying to army crawl with her elbows and knees it won t be long before we are chasing after her we love this sweet baby and speaking of growing up ash is doing just that she gave her first fhe lesson tonight she helped read a story about the first easter she was so cute repeating the words after mommy i think she liked it but it got a little long and she was done reading before the story was over ol was right there to help her finish ol is turning into quite the reader she is doing great with the scriptures that we read every morning we just have to make sure that she gets to bed around 7 30pm so that she s not too tired when we wake her up at 6am if she s had enough sleep she is a much happier person in the morning she also enjoys reading books that she brings home from the library aj is enjoying the warmer weather everyday after school he asks if he can play outside with his friends he enjoys sports especially our family soccer games in the backyard friday night we were playing and he wanted to be against everyone else in the family he thought he could take us on it ended up being a close game
