Twins Turn 6!

Today was Kelli and Katie's 6th Birthday. I can't believe how fast they are growing up! Take a look at them when they were only 6 months old:)

KelliAnd now look at them today - 6 years old, 1st graders, and growing up so fast! Where did the time go?

School got out early today, so when K&K got home, they got to see one of their birthday presents! Their room got a huge make-over. This is just a taste of the make-over. I will post more pictures of it and their party, tomorrow!

Herriman Fire

Here is some more info on the fire that we witnessed. Click on the photo below to go to the link. The still pictures are amazing!!

We had quite the weekend right here in Herriman. First, and foremost, we are safe and our house is still standing with no damage whatsoever from the "Machine Gun Fire." Check it out here: Herriman Fire!
We are still airing out the house from all the smoke as we are about 1/2 mile from one of the houses that was burnt. Last night was a long night trying to get the kids to bed and then watching the fire creep down the hills we see from our backyard. Cory and I stayed up watching houses catch on fire, getting a few things together in case we were evacuated and waiting. We were just about 2 blocks away from being evacuated! Can you believe that little ol' Herriman made national news?!

Now onto some good news. Saturday, I was able to attend the sealing of a cousin and her husband to their daughter. My mom and I attended the ceremony. It was so beautiful and made me realize just what is really important in life: my FAMILY!!

Later Saturday, Tim played in another football game. They played Hillcrest and won 6-0! Cory's defense rocks, even though he won't admit it! I love this picture of Tim coming onto the field just after halftime. This is what sports is all about-having fun!

Our Weekend

The weekend started out with Tim's 2nd football game. They played against Stansbury Park and won 7-0! This is Tim going for the quarterback! Love it:) Sorry about the small picture.
Next up for Saturday was the garden. Cory and I decided that we needed a garden, so about a month ago, we cut the sod out from the side of the house. Saturday, we rented a tiller and discovered some very nice soil! We got out all the big rocks with the help from some neighbor kids and K & K. Then we put in the wood border. Next up is to redo the sprinklers in that area, plant a peach tree, and transfer some raspberry bushes from a friend!
And last, but certainly not least, Kelli lost her first tooth Sunday night. The thing has been loose for about a week, and last night, Cory just pulled it out. Now, Kelli is informing me that she has two more teeth that are loose. We keep the Tooth Fairy very busy at our house!

Craziness!!

So, life is pretty crazy at the Wright house. Tim and Cory are in full swing with football. Now that games have started, they practice 3 times a week instead of 5, and games are on Saturdays. That means that every Saturday from now until November, you will find us at a football field somewhere along the Wasatch Front!

I am busy with Volleyball every afternoon, M-F. We usually play Tuesday and Thursday nights. It is a lot of fun though and the girls are fun to be around. My little Sophomores are 5-1! Pretty cool:)

All the kids are busy with school and doing homework every night. Even K&K have homework. They like it and are very tired at night.

So, with all of this going on, do you think there is time for anything else? Well, the other night, Kelli got out of the tub and her lower stomach was swollen and hard. After touching it, I knew what was going on and took her to the doctor. The doctor confirmed my thinking, hernia! So today, Cory, Kelli and I met with a surgeon. He said that she actually has two hernias! October 21st is the day of the surgery. Until then, we wait and hope for the best.

And then there is Toby! This is his favorite spot to lay. He likes the breeze that comes through the window and he likes to be able to hear all the noise outside. He doesn't like to be left out of anything:)

Football is Here!

Tim had his first "official" football game today. They played the Alta "Hawks" and lost 6-16. I enjoy this time of the year! I know fall is just around the corner when football starts and the nights actually cool off. I enjoy living in an area that has four seasons, but I am ready for some cooler days!
