I can't believe I forgot to mention that Donovan has made another "rite of passage". He has learned to ride a two wheeler. He is so excited. We gave him a choice between a birthday party with his friends at the bowling alley (which is what his mom wanted to do) or a new bigger bike. He thought for a minute and said "I want a new bike." His birthday is on the 6th of november. I can't believe he will be six. He informed me today "After I turn six then I'll be 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, then 20." As he counted one more year I actually visualized each year progressing, and it hit me that he will in fact soon be 20. Wow, how fast life really does pass us by.

Geez louise!!!! It has been forever since I last posted. Quick updates. We moved from our cute little house. We are now living 20 min. from the temple (which is where Scott works) and 20 min from the school I teach at. I am now teaching Spanish and Language Arts. Both are interesting. My LA kids HATE the class, it is pretty dry stuff right now. It is a career prep class. We are just finishing a unit on "Dream Jobs" writing resumes and coverletters. FUN FUN!!!!

Gavin is trying to walk. I think the most steps he has taken is about 5. He just is so unsteady on his feet and is so much faster when he crawls. He is enjoying holding onto our hands now though. Up until this last month he would lift his legs up if we tryed to have him walk while we held his hands. He is such a silly boy.

Donovan is enjoying Kindergarten, however he is having a hard time keeping his hands off of other kids. He likes to play wrestle and karate chop. He's already accidently given another child a bloody nose. He had his tonsils taken out last month. He kept getting strep, so now maybe he won't
