Just Another Week

This week was pretty ordinary except that we missed Eric terribly. He had a conference in Chicago and then went straight to Houston to be there for his brother Brandon's mission farwell. Brandon has been called to serve in the Moscow Russia mission and reports to the MTC on Wednesday. We are so proud of him and excited for this opportunity for him. Me and kids are really jealous that Eric is home without us. He picked my mom up today (our parents live about 10 minutes from eachother) and took her to dinner with his family. I hear he drove really carefully with my mom in the car. (Eric is a pretty crazy driver, especially for my mom's grandma standards. She has been know to sit in the back with her head in her hands as she is a passenger in his car.) He was a sweetheart and helped her hang some things in her house. Did I mention we are jealous we arn't there....

Eric and I are going to Hawaii for week in the beginning of November so I am trying to focus on that positive to look forward to. We are flying my sister Sarah down to be with the kids. That way Taylor doesn't have to miss school or soccer. And Eric and I can get some well needed couple time.

Taylor had a week full of smiling and curling her hair. She had school pictures on Wednesday and soccer pictures today. Her team, the Tinkerbells played the Fairies. We were missing our best cheerleader, Dad. Who usually runs on the baseline cheering her on. I had to keep
Brent off the field and happy so we had to stay pretty stationary on our chair. Taylor had a great game and did well.
