what has happened here??
in august: i celebrated the beginning of my last year in my 20's. i am not bothered by my age at all! troy got me all 4 of the twilight books for my bday! he had no wife for a bit...thanks honey!
the kiddos (lance and noemi) started school. it's very convienient that they both are in the same school now...same grade, but different teachers.
troy had HIS birthday too...in which he departed from his twenties and entered a new decade! i considered throwing an "old" party, but i wasn't motivated by the planning and effort it would take, plus it was on a sunday, so he turned 30 quietly and without fanfare.
in september:
we went up to utah for labor day. we got to spend time with some of troy's extended family. it was so nice...i even got to meet some cousins and their families for the first time! we got to have fun at the famous "peach days" and got crazy loaded with more candy than we knew what to do with...
noemi got to be student of the week in her class. she brought in lots of pictures, filled out a poster and got to bring her family in for her presentation. the following week was her birthday. i think it is so fun that she gets to have her birthday fall during school! that is something i never got to experience! 
bekah joined the ranks of lance and noemi in education....sorta. :) a couple gals from the area and i got together and formed a preschool. it's pretty much the 'joy-school' curriculum and set up. we each take turns teaching in our homes. it is fun and bekah especially enjoys it! she is such a big girl!
on the 20th troy and i celebrated our 8th anniversary! we spent the day in flagstaff with the youth from our church. we rode the ski lift for a moutian top devotional. it was nice...but windy and cold LOL and we got a sunburn. we went out to eat that evening but we were so tired we didn't do anything else, a movie was contemplated, but sleeping through it didn't seem so appealing! :)
then bekah had her birthday too! it seems so crazy sometimes to have 2 girls with birthdays in the same month...especially before samantha came around...it was 4 birthdays and an aniversary within 2 months! how much crazy fun can you pack into a couple months??! ;)
then sometime this summer...before school started...can't remember exactly, we got to spend time as a family WITH lance's parents. they had a birthday party for lance since they didn't get to spend time with him on his birthday (which was the beginning of june). we got to go BOWLING! this was a first for the girls...and they still remind us that we HAVE to take them again sometime! they had so much fun!

Oh My GOODNESS, You have been a busy bee! But It looks like you had a great time! I am craving Cake right now! Can't imagine why!? :) I love bowling, I think its what I want to do for my birthday this year! I too will be with troy and enter a new decade next month :( How sad.....
No wonder you haven't been keeping us updated.
That's a lot of birthdays in a few months.
The girls are so old! (Lovin' Noemi's Hannah Montana shirt...)
How's you like the books?
You should post about your preschool stuff...I'll be interested in doing the same thing soon enough.
Your girls are darling!
Rebekah is getting more cute by the day!! Good luck with the thumb and blanket. Ask mom she was a thumb sucker and Patty was a blanket freak. She had hers until it disinagrated.
Tag your IT! Check out my blog!!!
you don't know me. I am looking at blogs in the leavitt family. Just for fun. but I enjoyed reading your post. cute kids!
That picture of Noemi with her cake looks so much like you! Oh, I know what that's like to have alot of birthdays in a short time. All my kids so far were born in November and December, starting right after Halloween and going into the Christmas season. It is always crazy busy with Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and all the birthdays. I'm actually thinking about maybe starting to celebrate on their half-birthdays instead.
Did you get lost again!! Please update your blog.
We're waiting.....
Totally got lost.
