enjoy..

dear derek,

things here have been good! i can't believe another week has gone already!
here's a few highlights of last week!
merr got his 1st tractor ride with his papa gary! (k, skid steer ride.) corban got his elk yesterday. breck's still not too sure what to think about it. he's asked all kind of random questions like "mama, what that elk head eat?" & "why corban cut him up?" and many more! so it's been interesting trying to explain why it doesn't need to eat and everything else!

merr has been learning to feed himself! he sure makes a big mess. he likes to throw some food on the floor, then when he's done in his chair, he scoots around and cleans up the rest of his food!

he is pulling himself up to everything! he's even let go a few times, trying to stand by himself!

he is also getting pretty crazy. he's usually pretty mellow and easygoing. but lately at home he has been getting into everything! you move him from one mess and start to clean that up, and he's already into something else!

breck says merr-merr is his best buddy.
breck and lala are still good friends! everyday they ask to play!
we've gone to a couple football games. merr seems to enjoy them! breck still is a baseball man. but give him a few more games, i think he'll be a football man soon!
timmy has just been busy with work and such. labor day was the last big softball weekend. so we have a little break before wrestling starts! he's getting excited though.

i've just been hanging with these kids, rearranging and trying to organize my crazy house! i'm trying to get christmas at least started on! you have anything in particular you want or need?

it's definitely is turning fall up here. we have started wearing slippers and sweaters in the mornings! breck woke up this morning saying it's chilly! and put on a sweatshirt. he's liking it though. that kid loves to wear pants. i practically had to force shorts on him this summer. and he still always wears socks. he is so funny.

well der, take care of yourself! we love and miss you! you are always in our prayers!

love ya.. jes
