The Month of September

Ahhhh...I love the month of September.  I love the fall weather but I especially love the schedule that comes with school being back in session.  The kids have enjoyed a nice break from piano, cheer, baseball, and football. However, we've started back up in all of that.  We have also added violin to Nattie's schedule, and although it hasn't required much practicing yet, she seems to be excited to learn.  Zach and Nathan are still taking piano lessons.  Nathan is just as obedient as ever and "just gets it done."  Zach on the other hand...

This picture speaks for itself...
No kidding...he was in this position for 1 hour 15 minutes refusing to practice!
I'm really hoping that one day I get a letter from him on his mission that goes something like this,
"Dear Mom, thank you for making me take piano lessons. I am using it so much here in the mission field. I am so glad I can play!"
Love,
Zach

Here is our football star #41:

And finally, Blake is the champ of getting in his carseat and traveling to wherever the schedule calls.  And at the end of the day, he's had it!



And last but not least, because I complained so much about being in charge of family scripture reading, BJ decided to take it over. 6:15 we are all up and ready to read.

Most of us, anyway.
