Happy

Getting better every day

Learned to swim, jump and flip in the pool like a champ this summer

Baited his own hook with a live worm while fishing with the Cub Scouts

Loves to sell things to buy more Lego sets

New best friend Spencer moved in across the street

Has a pet named Zach, loves to carry his cage around the house and asks to take him with us wherever we go

First year at school without his sisters: 3rd grade (we noticed his teacher was 'Teacher of the Year' in Alpine School District last year... though I'm sure she's no Mrs. Blackwell) :)

We love you kids and can't believe how fast you are growing up! Thank you for making us happy everyday.
