Watching you..

I've been watching you, Tag ain't that cool?

I'm your best fan too, I wanna be like you

And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.

We got baseball bats and football pants.

Yeah, we're just alike, hey, ain't we Tag?

I want to do everything you do.

So, I've been watching you.

Mullet Man

I finally cut off all of Crews curls. I am so sad. Tag's friends were making fun of him and his mullet so I guess it was time. Now, he looks like a little man and I didn't want my baby to grow up so fast...Oh, those beautiful curls.....

It finally happened!

Yes, it is official. According to Dr. Daves height chart, Tag is exactly 1/4 of an inch taller than his mom! Oh, hAppY day. You would have thought that Tag had received some amazing present of great value when he received this news. Tag has great faith in Dr. Dave and his words of wisdom. When he starts acting like a typical teenager, he is quick to remind me that Dr. Dave told us all that this would happen. Some days he would act like a two year old. He would think that he is always right and want the independence of an adult. I was warned by the man himself. I should have listened and prepared. I am however, not quite prepared for him to be taller than me. His shinning moment was shortlived though as soon as Dr. Dave announced that Kaden would be a good two inches taller than Tag! That's ok bud, you still ROCK in my world.

Who says God doesn't have favorites??

Click, Clack...

Did I mention that I love this time of year? The chill in the air can only mean one thing..FOOTBALL. There is just something about the sound of football cleats hitting the pavement that I love. Banners and tailgate parties. Hot chocolate and hand warmers. Boys with their skinny legs running out on the field, looks of determination on their faces. Dad's pacing the sidelines yelling calls to their kids. Lines being divided between friends and neighbors over Utah or BYU. Don't get me wrong, I love baseball too. Someone once said,"Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football is played with hand grenades and machine guns." Click, Clack can you hear us coming?

Tag, is the QB. Since our team moved up to the

heavy weight division, they are playing against some big and heavy kids. Jared, came home with all this extra padding for him put on so that he doesn't get killed. He is one of the most intense players I've seen. You would think he was playing for the college championship. They won their first game 23-15. Way to go Wasatch!

Here's our little cheer squad. Kade and GG both wore Wasatch jerseys with Baxter on the back. It was so cute to see them down on the sidelines watching the game with those jerseys on. Everyone in the bleachers could see the Baxter Boys.

We Must Protect This House!!

The coach in this video reminded me of Jared yesterday. It was an awesome game! We love FoOtbAll around here. You have to scroll down and pause my music before playing this video.

First day of School

School started today.We got a late start because they were still getting the new High School ready. I think the boys were all ready to start a new adventure. Tag started school about 5 inches taller this year. He is still going to the middle school as an 8th grader. He has a heavy workload this year with 3 honor classes history,

science and literature. He also has a geometry class. I hope he doesn't need any help with that one!

Kade is a 4th grader at Old Mill Elementary. They are the oldest ones in the school. He has his first male teacher this year, Mr. Lowther. He really was excited to have him as a teacher. He has alot of his friends from baseball in his class. Poor teacher. Mr. Lowther is also a BYU fan so Kade is looking forward to wearing all of his Uof U stuff to class.
Kade's "girlfriend" is also in his class this year. This morning, he actually let me put gel in his hair and he was running around the house looking for Tag's cologne. I am in trouble with this one.






Garrett is starting first grade this year. His teacher is Ms. Chavez. He was so excited when he got home today and was able to recite to me everything off of the lunch menu. I was worried that he wouldn't make it through the day and kept expecting the phone to ring. I have begged him all summer to take Kindergarten over again so he could be home with me but he didn't fall for it. He told me that I would have Harley to talk to. I think today was harder on me than it was on him.
