Well I guess time has come for me to blog again. I know I have been a major slacker lately and I will try harder to blog more frequently. High School ball just got over and that is what I have been busy with every day since the middle of August. It was stressful as always, but we did end up winning one more game than last year which was an improvement. I don't believe I will be returning next year due to having 3 kids and the time commitment it is. Club is just a whole lot easier for our family as the practices are later at night and thus allows Peter to be home to be with the kids rather than having to hire a babysitter. Club ball tryouts are in 2 weeks so it should be interesting to see who ends up on our team. This year we are getting a new group of girls of which we don't really know any of them so it makes for an exciting time where we don't end up having to deal with politics and such.

Andrew started preschool in September and has been going twice a week since. It is a co-op and so I teach every 4 or so weeks. It is nice to have a break and only have one child to worry about for 4 hours a week. Andrew is loving it and they are going to a Pumpkin Patch on Thursday and he can't wait. This year Andrew has requested to be a ghost for Halloween so I took a white sheet and made a very homemade costume for him. It is not great looking to say the least but he loves it and has to wear it at least once a day. Andrew have their first Halloween date with our babysitters who asked if they could take the boys trick or treating on Halloween for us. Peter jumped at the chance to not have to go. Beck will be Batman btw.

Peter is working hard and getting alot of new opportunities. They sent him a few weeks ago to Salem area to attend a conference all by himself to try to get their name out there in that area. He is also heading up looking into and researching some stuff in the Vancouver area. Very exciting but we never know what will end up happening. He still travels weekly to the Sun Valley area for a project and will probably continue to do so until early December.

The pregnancy is going well. I will be 14 weeks tomorrow and finally in the 2nd trimester. We find out around the first week in December what the sex of the baby is. It is getting closer and closer and I am impatient. I want to know now!

Mom and Dad will be heading over here for Thanksgiving and we are very excited to have them come. It is always fun to have family come to visit(hint hint) and especially at the holidays. We will be heading to Cali for Christmas to hang with Peter's parents in Atwater. They just bought a new bigger house so it will be fun to have more room to run around.

We love you all and miss you. It was so nice to see all the ones that we did back in September. We hope to see some of you soon.

Love,
Anne

It has been quite a while since we have posted on here. Life has been busy with volleyball beginning and ending of summer. Andrew's birthday went well. He was so excited for his fire truck cake and had such a fun day. Thank you to all who sent gifts. They were very much appreciated. By the way Dave and Adina, Andrew now refers to the Harry and the Terrible Whatzit book as the Whats up book. We try to correct him but he is just so cute when he says it. Andrew has gotten back on his bike now and rides it quite often and he is getting very good at it. He now likes to ride it to the store and back on our walks to the store. He is such a big kid.

Beck is growing up daily and is so much fun to watch. He gets so excited about stuff now and constantly goes "OOO OOO OOO" when he sees something he is excited about. We also are beginning to have fights with him saying I Love you back and forth. It is amazing to see how much he is talking and understanding things.

We are beginning Andrew in a preschool co-op starting in 1 1/2 weeks. He asks me everyday if he can go to preschool. Needless to say, I don't think we will have a problem getting him to go.

We sold Peter's truck to one of Peter's coworker and have now joined the pack with a plasma tv and mini laptop. We are moving up in the world. We are now a one car family and Peter is enjoying riding his bike to work on the days he doesn't have the company truck.

Volleyball has started and we had a rough start yesterday with a loss in 3 games to our rivals. We were getting alot of bad calls from the ref and so in the 3rd game, the girl who is the head coach got herself ejected from the game. Now it is up in the air as to whether she will be able to coach the team on Tuesday. If not, I will be the head coach for the day. Luckily these games don't count towards the record for placement in Districts so hopefully the girls will pick up our play and play like the team we see in practice.

We are continuing our training for the half marathon and are very excited to head home for a few days for Labor day weekend. We will be getting there by Friday afternoon and staying through Monday. It is great that we get to see you all two times this month.

Anyways, there it is finally after a month hiatus. We love you all and can't wait to see you soon!
