Connor "Reid"ing

Connor "Reid"-ing - photo taken by Allison or Tanner.

He is cranking through those Harry Potter books. He is only allowed to read them if his attitude is positive after reading them.

Connor's been working on a goal....and if he makes it to Tuesday (three weeks), he gets a trip to 1/2 Price Books. He would probably do just about anything for a trip to the bookstore!



He has his 2nd baseball game tomorrow. He had fun at his first one. Connor is on the AquaSox!

Connor got to go on a field trip to River Legacy Park today. He was so excited! It was fun to see him anticipate it so much.

The kids have started wanting to do their "Saturday work" on Friday evenings....so that they don't have to do it on Saturday! We still have to maintain, but they like this. I'm good with it, too....doesn't matter too much to me WHEN they work, just that they do! Hope that doesn't throw you off, Natalie!!!!

Allison First Day Pre school

Allison started pre-school again on Monday, September 15th. Oh, she's growing up sooooo fast!

She can blow a bubble with bubble gum! She just learned at church on Sunday. She is sitting here with me while I am doing this, "Can I have a piece of bubble gum, Mom?"

She has friends at all of the brother's sports....
Carson at Tanner's
Sydney at Connor's
a whole bunch of girls at Quinn's.

Tanner Blowing Bubbles

Tanner can officially blow a bubble with bubble gum! He practiced last night at Connor's baseball game (lots of free time to ride the scooter and practicing blowing bubbles).

Tanner is playing flag football this fall. He is quarterback again. He doesn't like that he has to call out the plays -- last year the coach could be on the field to do that.

I get to volunteer in Tanner's classroom on Wednesday mornings. It's that teacher in me that gets fulfilled each week up at the school. I love the kids!

Adoption Profile

We finally did it! We have finished our adoption profile. We have attached a link (with help) from our blog to the website. If we make changes to our profile, it will be off-line for like a day. But, then we'll be back up.

Also, you can find us the long-way: www.lds.org, then to home and family, next provident living and finally adoption assistance and then search adoption profiles. You can enter ScottAndPatti (no spaces) and we should come up.

Now there will be a place a birth mother and family can go to get a glimpse of us. Exciting!
