We had our neighbor snap this just before we made a mad dash to church.

Uh doe Whoops Y U dame
(How Jonah asked to go to Luke's football game from the backseat)
Any sports jersey is YYU. If Will is wearing it: Whoa(Will) Y U. If Luke is wearing it: Whoop Y U. Dadden Y U. You get the picture. BYU is all the talk around here!
Luke is totally enjoying his first season of tackle football. He is number 83...I hope you can spot him. Squint. (I'm afraid I'm going to have to find a telephoto lens if I'm going to catch anything at his games)
Something I've learned is that all the bumps and bruises you get playing tackle football are like medals of honor to boys. Ouch! His fore arms are always covered in bruises after practice. At first I didn't think arm bands were necessary but now maybe so.
This afternoon Luke found a white board lying on his bed which read: "Luke, You need to take a shower and make your bed. From Bridget Sign your first and last name here: "
She was writing notes to him all afternoon on it. As she passed him on the stairs she held it up and it said, "Hello!"

Moots
Why are Jonah's "Moots" so awesome?
1. They have shark fins,teeth and eyes
2. Easy on, easy off even if you are two
3. Not every shoe can take you where these babies can; mud, water, dirt, sand...bring it on!
4. Socks are optional
5. They have handles that make carrying them a cinch
a sweet little hat
Violets little hat with the violet trim. I just love her little head shape and the hat hugs it so perfectly.

The Magic of Ordinary Days
Sweet Slumber…
Now you know why I sometimes pick her up out of her bed while she’s sleeping, just to hold her.
Jonah and I read his Cars storybook on my bed one day and the next day this is how I found him…all tucked in and ready to read. Every time I finish reading a book to him he nods his head while saying, “ONE MORE.” He’s very convincing.
Bridget and Luke are off to school. Luke must have stayed up late reading because those eyes are screaming for an extra hour of sleep. I’m not sure why Will didn’t make it in this photo…he’s probably making sure his soccer ball is in his back pack.
Violet smiles
She smiles when you talk to her, say her name, or make sweet noises to her. Luke got the first one when he said good morning to her. She gave him a few big grins and of course he gave her some in return. It is so satisfying to see her smile in response to your own voice. It reminds me of President Uchdorf’s talk. “The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. ...Try to see how many smiles you can create…”
Bathtime with Jones
Jonah helps me bath her every morning and loves it. Then it’s time for lotion, diapers, clothes and a Moo-veeeeee. I love routine.
Hope of America
Luke is part of the middle red stripe, right in the middle of the flag. All of the fifth graders in his school, along with half of the other fifth graders in Utah county performed in the Marriot Center on BYU campus as part of the Freedom Festival Celebration. They sang an array of songs about hope and freedom. It was awesome to hear all those childrens voices together.
This is one of my favorite things in the world…holding a sleeping baby. Yes, Bridget is enjoying her sister.
Will went on a field trip to the Zoo. This was the low-down I got from him after school. "The twain(train) was fo babies...I shoulda saved my daw-woe($)." Who did you sit with on the bus? "Poe-da (Porter), he brought one of those camera's that's a regular camera and a video camera. He videoed me singing, "We Will Rock You," on the bus." Note to self: get my own recording of Will singing that song!
An evening on Adams Street: Adam is raking sand over the low spots in the grass, Will is practicing soccer with Luke, Bridget is jumping on the tramp, Jonah is mopping the sidewalk, and I am sitting on my yellow chair on the front porch holding Violet and completely enjoying the whole scene.

Friday Night
Luke and I stayed home and enjoyed Violet while we read our books, ate triple chocolate cake and watched a football movie. I sat and watched the weather turning grey and the sun shining on pieces of the mountains just before it set. It was beautiful!
The rest of us; Adam, Bridget, Will and Jonah, went to the church for our wards version of Family Feud. They had lot's of fun. Jonah came in excited as can be but welcomed my offer of a bottle and bedtime. We got his Buzz lightyear jammies on, read The Little Engine that Could, and his eyes were closed as his head hit the pillow. Mmmmm, I love sleeping babies. I tried to apply some lotion to Will's sunburn (he was outside playing football with friends all afternoon) but it reacted to his skin which resulted in a quick jump in the tub to wash it off...and then everything was fine. Bridget brought us some leftover popcorn and treats from the party...she's so thoughtful.
