I can't believe it's Christmas time again already! Our little family has been busy like everyone else this year. Here is a recap of our year:
Trent works so hard to provide for our family. He is still teaching at Hillcrest High School in Special Ed. He is also the head coach of the Freshman Baseball team...he LOVES that. He can also see the light at the end of the tunnel in getting his Master's degree in Education Administration in March/April. Trent has been hunting is little heart out this fall and will continue to do so until the middle of January! He is currently the Mission Leader for our ward. Trent and Skyler just held their first practice yesterday for a 2nd grade girls basketball team they are coaching, that is going to be an adventure! :)
I am doing the same old thing...all the mom stuff. I am still working from home a little bit doing medical billing/payments only 5-10 hours a week. Trent and I are still over the Iona sports program so I will be starting to get ready for next season soon. This year we had 55 teams! It is a big job but we enjoyed it. I enjoy going to help in Bryn's class every week and being home with the girls! I made my first blog book from this blog and it is so nice to have!
Brynly (7) is such a smart, beautiful, and talented girl. She is always amazing me at the things she can do. She is reading at a 4+ grade level and luckily has a fantastic teacher who is allowing her to go ahead in her school work and challenges her. She loves school and loves to learn. She loved playing T-ball this year and a little softball, she does really well at it. She is excited about playing basketball they start games in January. She is in her second year of piano lessons and can play beautifully.
Emry (will be 5 in January) is a smart, cute, energetic, and helpful girl. She LOVES to help people. She especially loves to cook. She started preschool this year and has thrived on it. She loves to learn and show us all the new things she can do. She can count to 59, she knows her ABC's, sounds, and colors. She is constantly keeping us on our toes. She did her first year of tball this year and liked it a lot. She loves to create things, play in the snow, swim, and ride her bike.
Lexy (2) is so much fun. She is so sweet and loving to everyone around her, with the exception of Emry because they like to tease each other. She has been a very low key child and easy to have around. She started potty training about a month before she turned two and had it down quick...even at night! I love it! She talks like crazy and is just so dang lovable! She is starting to be very bossy and thinks she runs the joint! :)
We are all so excited for this Christmas Season and excited to see what the new year will bring.

Roller Skating
Our ward had a roller skating party that our girls were SO excited for! I didn't plan on putting skates on Lexy but she was not about to be left out. She loved it.
For some reason both pictures of Emry she has closed eyes, she had lots of fun!
Brynly had a ball, and left with huge blisters on her feet!
We had an embarrassing moment...I was standing in the snack area in skates, holding up Lexy in skates, when Emry comes up and grabs us as she was falling and we all fell! It was super fantastic and I am sure it looked so graceful! :)
Halloween!!!!
Lady Bug or as Lexy says "Leggy Bug" she cried about her costume for 30 minutes..."too scary" but then she loved it.
Sparkle Witch
Spider Witch
Bummer!!!
It was a sad day. Emry was using the scissors to cut hearts out of paper. I hear her say something about needing a haircut. I turn around to find she had cut chunks of her hair to about her shoulders. My reaction must not have been too calm since Bryn said "Mom, I haven't seen you so mad before". It could have been worse like crazy bangs or something!

We had a great weekend, except for the last night when grandma, Lexy, and Brynly were up all night long throwing up...that wasn't so fun. :)
Daddy Daughter Camping Trip
Trent took Brynly and Emry on a two night camping trip up by Heise. They went swimming, bike riding, and had a really fun time together.
Brynly looses her first tooth...plus three others!
Brynly came to me one morning and said her lower front teeth were hurting and sure enough she finally had a loose tooth! It has been a LONG time coming...she was the only one in both her school and church classes that hadn't lost a tooth yet. Later in the day we were looking at her tooth again and she had a tooth coming up behind a tooth that wasn't loose yet...so the dentist pulled all four lower front teeth!
It was a happy day when the Tooth Fairy finally came to our house!
Another one bites the dust...
Trent and I came home from the rodeo one night to find our only remaining big shade tree had been either hit by lightning or the wind was something fierce! We have cut down most all the trees in our yard because they were ugly russian olive trees, one was hit by lightning last year. We ended up having to have it all cut down...I am so bummed about it because it would shade our yard for most of the day! It also did quite a number to our playset.
