17-10 Baby! Rise and Shout the Cougars are out! BYU came through for us last minute...once again! Jeremy was at the game and didn't sound very good at half-time when we were only up 3-0, his heart couldn't take it! Alec and I had a fabulous bed jumping fit at the end of the game, as I'm sure Jer was at the game jumping up and down with his dad in the stands! Hall to Collie...so sweet! All I can say is BYU Football is fabulous! There is nothing better than beating the Utes! (Especially when they think they're going to win!!) The kids all got to go to a game this year, even Savvy is a new little fan, although she especially loved the cheerleaders! They wear their hats with Cougar Pride!

Just to catch everyone up to speed on the kids...
Alec is the best big brother I have ever seen! He is so good with all the kids. I am so thankful for him! He still plays competitive soccer for the USA Revolution and they just won 1st place in their league. He loves it, but not like he loves basketball! Every year he saves up his money so that he can spend a week in Provo at BYU basketball camp. He starts his winter basketball season with his same super league team in Sandy, the Speed, along with another league in Murray. He is the 6th Grade Senator for Northstar Academy. Yes...the girls have started calling! I swear I was just in 6th grade!Carter like I said, just turned 8 and is so much fun. He thinks he needs to be as funny as his dad! We're trying to work on the times when he should NOT be funny! He was baptized and started scouts. He's so competitive, I'm sure he will have to get that Wolf and every single arrow point there is! He started comp. USA soccer also. He tried out with the older boys and made the U9 premier team, the Rebels! He's short for his own age, so he is A LOT shorter than the boys he plays with...and he could care less...what a trooper! His team went 8 and 0 baby, and took first place! Indoor soccer and Futsal will be his winter sports, we can't get him away from a soccer ball!Savvy just got done with soccer too! We were pretty busy for a while with 3 playing and I coached her Orange Fireworks team! She definitely improved from last year, she's keeping my hopes up that she will play and love it...but I think she's a dancer... I have no idea where that came from! She is a wonderful little dancer and also takes cheerleading, something so foreign to me! She also is a spunky little daddy's girl, always trying to make us laugh. She started Kindergarten this year and loves it! She is our little artist, making sure to draw us pictures daily!
Luke is just imitating and telling on his brothers and sister everyday. They taught him to say "I tell Mom" and it sure got old fast! He is at the funnest age when they learn what everything is! He is an avid Diego watcher and all animals make his day! He often tell us he "Needs see Cows at Gamma's". What two year old says that? He already got stitches on his eyelid, jumping on the headboard of his parents bed...where were they???
Well Jeremy and I are pretty proud parents. Would we have as many if we knew how busy we would be....absolutely! Nothing is better than the 4 of them! I am loving staying home with the kids, I get to laugh everyday! Jer is loving not punching a time clock, working from home for K.E. Capital, a private money lending company. Lots of blessings packed into 12 years!

Here we go Kelly... after one of the most
busy months we've had in a long time -
what a perfect idea to start blogging!
So here's our juice...October was life changing...Carter turned 8 on the 15th and was baptized on the 27th. He is the most handsome 8 year old, especially in his new suit! Luke turned 2 on the 21st. (he's huge!) We went to Star Valley WY to see Grandma Johnson and to give Luke his "Cow Fix!" We also stayed in Evanston with the Barker's for two days. On the the 14th we welcomed Addison and Emerie Briggs to the family! Matt and Melissa had the twins 7 weeks early and they are beautiful, healthy and, as of this week, both HOME! Halloween crept up on us and the kids had a blast! Our little nerd, hobo, and tinkerbell, got enough candy to rot all their teeth! Our little blonde mexican also loved trick or treating for the 1st time!
