GIRLIE GIRL

 "look at my nails"

 "look at my lips"

Three BEAUTIFUL girls!

I am not sure how my little Burks got so "girlie."  I love how she always says "mom, make me pretty" or "I need to paint my pretty nails." She loves, loves, loves to have her nails painted. This past week she got spoiled twice. First cousin Kari stopped in and got put right to work. A few days later cousin Erica did her nails and cousin Alexa did her hair. She had on a super cute head band but I didn't get a photo.  She loves to go see the Athay girls because the minute she walks in the girls make her pretty!  How I ended up with such a girlie girl is beyond me...I love it :)

FUN RUN

The PTA recently hosted their annual 1-mile fun run to cap off Fitness Week.  Ammon looks forward to this race every year.  Last year as a kindergartner Ammon found out he was quite the runner.  He took off sprinting and never looked back.  This year was a little different. He didn't realize the race started because he thought they were going to use a starting gun and instead it was a siren.  He got off the a slow start but sure enough he kicked it into high gear and found himself in the lead. He ran strong and looked like a natural. When he had one lap to go Jeff offered to run with him because he looked a bit tired.  Ammon refused the help and picked up his pace to the finish.

FALL

It has been so beautiful and enjoyable to go on mountain and road rides this fall. I have tried to go as much as possible and have enjoyed every minute of it. 

KIDDOS IN OCTOBER

 Ammon finished up a great season of soccer.

 While watching one of Ammon's games I failed to keep an eye on the twins and this is where Burks ended up. To top it off she was growling at any kid that came near the water fountain. 

 The boys have spent most of the past month sleeping in their tent. Burklee wanted to join them and it lasted all of two minutes. The girl will not hold still.

Ammon dressed up for Hawaiian day.

The funny thing about it is he has some matching shorts that we refused to let him wear to school.  We decided to make a deal and told him he could wear them under his jeans. Well, after school he came busting through the front door wearing his 2-inch inseam matching shorts! He told me right when he got to school he took off his pants and wore his little shorts all day. He also got to tell his class about Hawaii. He was definitely on cloud-9.
