So Exciting!

We were so excited to hear President Monson announce that there is going to be a temple built in Philly!!! Now we don't have to move. It feels so good to be able to have our cake and eat it too.

Jackpot!

To celebrate the nice fall weather we decided to walk down to the Delaware and go fishing again. In a little over an hour we had each caught a fish! We had a great time and T was so excited to help with the fish until they were out of the water. We came home and cook one up for dinner. Who knew fishing could be so fun. :)

Tayeson Taco

T loves it when we wrap him up like a Tayeson taco. He is such a goofball.

One Down

Sunday I successfully completed my first block of classes with the University of Phoenix. I am so grateful for the opportunity that I have to pursue my education and still be available to my family when they need me. It has been a great experience thus far. Thanks to everyone for being so supportive. Well, I can't type too long; I have homework to do. :)

The "Fishing Cole"

So after our fishing success at Bushkill Falls we decided to invest in a couple of fishing poles. We even bought a little Cars pole for T, which he calls his "fishing cole." So we've been fishing five out of the last seven days and have gotten nothing but nibbles. Finally we bought some chicken liver and headed back down to the Delaware to try again. Success!!!! Eric caught a fish with T's "fishing cole." It was awesome watching him reel in this fish with this tiny Cars pole!!! As soon as he realized he had one, I quickly reeled in my line to go help him with his. As I pulled in my line there was this tiny little fish dangling off the end. So we both caught a fish, though Eric's was more impressive than mine.

Before we left, Eric decided to clean the fish really quickly. I was trying to distract T while he worked. In the middle of trying to keep T's attention I felt a bite and started to reel the fish in. The fish managed to get away, but he had kept my attention just long enough for T to run over to see what Dad was doing. All of a sudden I hear, "Ewwww, yuck!!! Mom, Dad broke the fish! He broke it!!!" What would we do without him?

Oh yeah, did I mention that I grabbed the camera that didn't have any batteries in it? Nice huh? So we don't have any pics of the fish but here is a pic of T's "fishing cole." Yep, that's what Eric caught his prize fish with. :)

New Callings

Eric and I have both recently received new church callings. Eric was released as the first counselor in the Elders' Quorum Presidency and is now working with the Valiant boys, ages 8-11, in Primary. I was also released as the second counselor in the Young Women's Presidency and will be working with the CTR kids, ages 4-7, in Primary as well. We're both excited for the change and look forward to getting to know the kids in our ward.

T's First Day of School!!!!

Today Tayeson started preschool!!!! Man this makes me feel old. He had no idea what he was in for but he was so excited. He got up and ready with no major pitfalls. He was so excited that he got to wear his "packpack" to school. We were lucky enough to have Daddy home for the day so we all drove to school together. T had a great first day and really seemed to enjoyed it. Mommy, on the other hand, was a little bored without him. :)

Here is T waiting to go into class. Notice that his "packpack" is almost as big as he is. :)

He had a great time with the other kids. I think he'll enjoy his first year of school.

After school we went and had ice cream to celebrate.

We love you Tayeson and we're so proud of the sweet boy you've become.
