Ethan's a daredevil

So since I just started blogging, I may go back to pictures from earlier and write about those events - since I have now realized I will never be able to scrapbook and keep up with the kids. This picture is of Ethan at Heber Valley Camp where Grandpa and Grandma Rawlinson are serving a mission. We were able to go up on the w-end and do a challenge course. It was pretty scary but makes you really feel like you have accomplished a lot when you get done. He was so cute as he started up the tree but you have to take the caribeaner off and re-attach it another wire. It is built for girls 12-18 so it was a HUGE stretch for the little guy.

Ethan said something funny on Sunday. For those of you that don't know - he is my little cleaner and helper. On Sunday I was beating eggs to dip the chicken in to fry it up for Lemon Chicken. Of course he was right in there helping and after he cracked the eggs in the bowl he kept asking me for the "yolker". "The yolker??? What is that???" Turns out it is a whisk to beat the eggs with. Devin and Aubrey always call things cute names but is rare the smart little 9 year old will.

Soccer

Well it is finally over and I must say that neither Dave or I are sad the fall soccer season has ended. When Kaleb played soccer in Idaho he was there mainly to cheer the other players on. He rarely kicked the ball and usually just cheered no matter who scored. Devin has taken his approach except that he really does run up and down the field a lot. I can tell that the socializing, treats and trophy at the end were the main draws for him. The pic to the left shows him actually running - and to give him credit he didn't wimp out like a lot of the kids there. The pic to the right show him doing what he usually did - talk to his buddies.

My little business

So I really am not making money off of these cute little mouse pads but I did give them as gifts to girls at work. I saw some at a boutique and thought it would be fun to make my own. I love the color and personality they bring into any room.
