September

Well I'm trying to stay focused on my goal and write once a month, so far so good.  It's been pretty uneventful this September.  We have just been busy with life.  Lots of soccer games for Kyle, Zach and Sydney ( Chris had to bribe her to play ) and yes for Chris and I too! We both joined a co-ed soccer team and we play with a bunch of people from our ward and we are loving it!!  I have never played soccer a day in my life when I started so I knew nothing, but I'm learning and I really love the exercise and hanging out with good friends. This has been my month to start running again now that the temps in the mornings are coming down. I need to get back into shape as Chris and I have been asked to be a ma and pa on our upcoming stake trek in March 2013!  I'm very excited but nervous and I know it will be hard but I can't wait for the experience and to feel a little of what our pioneer ancestors had to go through.  Chloe has been dancing and she LOVES it, she really enjoys hip hop dancing and looks forward to it every week.  Sydney has been working as a nanny and going to school hanging with friends.  We have had to talk about college and work out details and I think she is realizing that real life outside mom and dads home is not going to be easy.  She has come up with a plan that is good but just a few things to work out.  I'm soooooooooo not looking forward to the day we have to leave her up in Utah, I will cry.  The boys are busy with school and sports and they love to swim and wrestle with eachother and just be boys. :)  We are heading up to Utah in 2 days for a wonderful week.  Keith is going to the temple for the first time on Wednesday Oct 3 and then he and Pat will be sealed on Oct 4 in the SLC temple along with Chris and Jessie.  We are so pleased and happy and excited and just love that they will be an eternal family.  I'm so proud of Keith he has come along way and he is a wonderful example to our family.  I will write next month about our week.  Fall is here and we love it, the decorations are up and the weather is changing and I love this time of the year.
