For Jake

My mean brother in law, Jake told me that I'm the boring one in my family, not the rest of them. Well, all I have to say to Jake is that if he didn't have three of the cutest girls in the universe, I wouldn't even LOOK at his blog. (Jake, I miss you... when are you guys moving back?) Cooper is one amazing kid. He's 7 1/2 and he is barely getting his 6 year molars. He's only lost two teeth. This has to be some sort of special talent... hanging on to baby teeth. I went on a field trip with Cooper's class and saw for myself that he's like the most popular kid in school. Especially with the ladies... Funny story... last year a little girl came up to me and told me that she had a crush on Cooper, and thought he was cute. She went on and on about him, and I'm like, You're in 1st grade! Cool it a little, will ya? I'm going to be beating them off with a stick.

Tyler is turning 11 this month. How on earth did THAT happen? He's finished all of his requirements for Webelos and his Arrow of Light. He loves Scouts... which makes me ask again... how on earth did THAT happen? ;) I took him to the orthopaedic surgeon for a check up on his leg that he broke, and everything is fine. (Except the cost of the lamest dr. appt. I've ever been to... I could've done the check up myself.... he looked at both knees for about 5 seconds, had him walk (Tyler stumbled a few steps because his pant leg was still up... the dr. said fine and went on) then asked me if he seemed okay at home. That's it. Seriously.)

Aubrey is doing awesome with Swim Team. She goes three times a week, and will be moving up a group next week. We do need to get her a new swimsuit though... three times a week is rough on a suit. She's getting taller every day, and I know one of these days I'll wake up and she'll have passed me up. She is getting all A's in school, which isn't unusual. She's a smarty pants. She also just got called to be Beehive President.

Last but not least... the sexiest man in the universe. Here he is dressed for church... ha! Of course, dressed for hunting. He's had a good time hunting the last month or so, although he has only been able to go a few times. I wish he could have a lot more free time to do what he wants. He works insane hours, and then is on call all of the time on top of that. When he mentioned that he would like to have Thanksgiving off, and maybe a weekend every once in awhile his boss told him to just be glad he has a job, since people are getting laid off in other parts of the country. I say, they should just be glad they have an employee since they've hired five guys since Brandon and every one of them quit because of the insane hours. Brandon's just the most awesome guy in the world, and I think every business should see that and pay him a billion dollars. If only I ran the world....
