It is time once again for a re numeration of our children's various and sundry acquisitions.

Seth- above and beyond being so incredibly cute is also the winner of this years Crazy Hat Award.  He is sporting 12 of his 15 handmade hats.  Pretty impressive!

Brigham- in a quest to make money for his mission opted to enter an essay writing contest.  His efforts were rewarded with a third place prize and $45 added to his mission fund.  Katry was awarded the distinct of honor of being voted in as a "Knight of the Week" from her location of learning.  She was rewarded with candy- her food of choice.  It is a win- win situation.

These three little....okay two little and one ginormous monkeys continued the time honored tradition of procuring Straight A's once again!   While no small task in itself- Brigham is to be particularly commended in that he accomplished this while taking all Honors classes, being involved in many extra- curricular activities due to being on the student council,  and playing on the school's soccer and basketball teams.  Whew!  He wore me out just transferring him to all these places.  Katry is also on the student council and played soccer on 4 different teams.  Seth played football and soccer- and both kids were the leading strikers on the pitch.  These 3 Redds are defining Awesome-ness!!!

Adorable Kaleb finished up his debut soccer seasons with flying colors.  He was also the leading goal maker and star defender.  Often scoring from the defensive position.  His dad wins the award for the most patience- It is a lot of work to corral and mold young flighty whipersnappers (12 of them) into soccer players- or at least kids that kick the ball in the right direction 90 percent of the time!

While these are all great accomplishments!  Truly the best is that these are just super nice kids!

We are SOOOO glad they are OURS!

Absolutely Excelling in Cuteness!
