Getting Big

We blinked and another birthday/school year is upon us.  This stud is now 11!!

Harrison is the GOAT.  He brings so much happiness, laughter, historical insight and massages to our house.  We love celebrating this caboose.  

We took a few of his friends (Dash, Paxton, Mason and Camden) to this park he had been eying in Spanish Fork.  They hung out for an hour or two and then we took the little turkeys to dinner at Brick Oven for pizza.  

He had a couple of others join us at our house after and then they got wild and we told parents we were ready for their boys to be picked up.  hahaha!  

His designing talents came through as he decided he wanted to have a go at the cake, not baking it, but just ensuring it had a great BYU Cougar on it.  Costco made it, Harrison added the blue cougar. Not too shabby.

He still loves all things sports related.  He follows football intensely but he loves playing basketball the most.  

It has been fun to see him play flag foot ball as a 49er. 

He hasn't been the only one getting a workout at these games.  These three thought it was a good time to work on planks...I opted to sit and watch.  

Fall brings football- here is Grant when he came down to go to a game with Dave.  He got to see his buddy Cameron who recently returned from a mission.  

And, more important than football (although Harrison would disagree), fall brings new school years! 

Brenna has her final year in junior high.  She is a freshman, but we do 9th grade in our middle schools, much to her dismay.  

Harrison will be in Mrs Earl's 5th grade class, which we hear is a great fit for him because she is a history guru, so we anticipate he will be in the perfect class, even though none of his friends are in there.  

and our little Katelee is a SENIOR!  dang it.  She has one final year in high school and is determined to make it memorable.  I think everyone is off to a great start.  

Except me... hopefully we are not buying into omens/signs for the school year because on one of my first days back in the school library, I had quite the mishap.  My right cheek was hanging out and I had to run out of the media center with my hands covering my back side and get home to change my britches.

Maybe it is just an indication that we will need to be ready for change and to go with the flow this school year.  We will go with that!
