This munchkin started preschool this year. She goes 3 days a week but if it was up to her she would go everyday. She comes home and tells me all about her friends and teachers and snacks. She LOVES this. <br />

She told us about her friend "K": <br />
Me: "Brynn, is K your friend?"<br />
Brynn: "No, because she sits on me."<br />

Brynn: "Well, because I sit on her." <br />

She asks me all day every day, "Mom is it time for ballet?" I don't know which she likes better, wearing the pink leotard and ballet shoes or actually dancing. <br />

Back in August, Caroline was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was her choice. We were so happy to share that special day with family and friends. The gym was packed. She is growing up so much. I am so proud of the sweet girl she is.

<span style="font-size: large;">There is a lens that I have my eye on for awhile. Since it costs about $1000 it will have to just stay comfy in the display case. I did, however, find a camera shop in Wilmington that rents cameras, lenses, lighting equipment, etc. I decided to take that lens out for a test drive. </span><br />

Caroline performed in two numbers: "Let it Go" (Hip Hop) and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" (Ballet II). She knew her routine and hit every mark. I was so proud. <br />

When Kevin and I began looking for houses to buy we insisted it have a great backyard for the kids to run and play. When we discovered the Windermere house we loved it but then we saw the backyard!<br />

But we loved the house and we loved the potential of the backyard. We envisioned sitting in the sun room or on the back deck over looking our plush, green yard while the kids ran and played. But we knew it would take a lot of work. <br />

The problems we were up against:<br />
1) A LOT of trees; big trees, saplings, branches, etc. <br />
2) Years worth of leaves. The good news is that underneath those layers and layers of leaves was the best dirt we could ask for. All of the vegetation basically mulched itself for years. <br />
3) Uneven dirt. Because the backyard has been untouched for most of its existence there were valleys and holes and slopes.<br />

First item to tackle: Tree removal. This tree had a large branch hanging right over Russell's room. One good storm and it would have landed right on top of him. (I shudder just thinking about it.)<br />
PS. Check out this guys awesome beard! Kevin was impressed.<br />

Next step was fill dirt. It took 3 dump trucks full of dirt to cover the backyard. The girls loved having big piles of dirt to play on. Such a difference already. <br />

Last step, GRASS! The guys aerated the dirt, seeded, aerated, and seeded a second and third time. Then they put down straw to protect the seeds. Kevin and I were so impatient to see any growth. We would check every morning. We got so frustrated. Did we water it to much? Did we not water it enough? ARGGGG! Then one morning we walked to the sun room and saw this...<br />

I finally got back to my roots (pun intended) and planted a garden. It has been hard work but so worth it. The girls love to check on our garden each day and it never disappoints. Can't wait to sample the fruits (and veggies) of our labor.<br />

A friend told me that in the 3 year old division of soccer if you can teach the kids how to not use their hands and which goal to score in you have had a successful day. So true. <br />

Her coach was so patient with the players. Brynn learned to move the ball down the field with a game called "Tick Tock". She learned to get past a player with a game of "Shark vs. Minnows". But most of all she learned to have fun. </div>

Before practice Brynn would tell me how she wanted her hair done and I would have to convince her that "No, we don't wear dresses to play soccer." My favorite is when she asked for Anna braids.<br />

It was so fun to watch her run all over the field without a care in the world. We could hear her giggling the whole time from the side lines. If you have never seen a group of 3 year olds play soccer do yourself a favor and try it. It is the most entertaining thing to see. <br />

Her team had a mix of kids who were new to the game and seasoned veterans. She was really nervous. She was honestly scared of the ball and would not go after it like some of the other kids did. We even had one game where the ball whizzed past her head and she walked off the field in tears. We soon discovered that she was scared a ball would hit her and knock her tooth that was loose at the time out. </div>

What hobbies do you have: snuggle with daddy<br />
Where is your favorite place to go on vacation: any family member's house (Grandma's house, Dee Dee's house, Aunt B's house, etc.)<br />
Favorite game to play: checkers<br />
Favorite dessert: brownies<br />
<br />
This girl is growing up so fast. She is always helping with Russell and Brynn. If Russ gets fussy she will check his diaper or pick him up and play with him. They are friends already. She is the only one who can make him really belly laugh. She is doing so well in school and her favorite thing is to do when she finishes her work early is to go to her old Kindergarden class to help the teacher and read to the class. She loves to write and read and loves PE. I am so proud of her. <br />
