Big Boy Bike

Brad had Columbus Day off, so he spent a lot of time outside getting everything ready for winter.  Jackson, as usual, was his side kick.  He was out in the garage trying to climb on all the bikes, so Brad decided to get Grayden's old bike out and put the training wheels on for him.  He just climbs on and off of it, and doesn't quite understand the pedaling.  Doesn't he looks so big all of the sudden.

I love my almost 2 year old.  He is such a joy in our family! 

General Conference!

Oh how we love general conference weekend!  We had a great family weekend, hanging out in our PJs and eating entirely too much delicious food.  

Random

We love our Aggies! Even though we aren't doing very good, we fully support them.  

I love Jack's face in this pictures.  Almost every time I take the camera out, this is the face I get.  He looks a bit constipated.  

Squeaky clean and cute as can be! 

Grayden wanted to be in the picture with him, and Jackson was not happy about it!  

This is Jackson's friend, Graham.  The other day I found them jumping on Gray's bed together having a good ol' time.  They are cute boys.  

Jackson would be outside all day every day if I would let him.  He doesn't like TV.  He is busy, busy, busy.  His favorite thing to do is be outside in the garage with dad.

Basketball

Karleigh is still having a blast playing basketball.  She really loves it, and I am surprised how much I enjoy watching it!  Her team has had a bit of a losing streak, but they don't seem to care.  They have fun anyways.  

Candice and Joe...Together Forever

This weekend, we were lucky enough to go to St. George for Candice and Joe's temple sealing.  It was a beautiful day for the Wheeler Fam and we are so happy for these two.  

We also got to see Grandma Dody and Grandpa Norval this weekend!  The weather was beautiful and we had so much fun with family.  

Parent Teacher Conferences

We had parent teacher conferences last week.  I was so proud of my kids.  They both did so great!  Both of their teachers only had positive things to say about them.  Now I am going to brag a bit, so feel free to quit reading.  I just want this for our family history books.

Karleigh is doing so well in her Portuguese-dual immersion class.  I couldn't believe all that she could say.  She sat there and had a conversation with Professor Jackson while me and Brad just sat their in amazement.  It's crazy how these kids just soak it all up.  The Portuguese teacher is not allowed to speak English in front of the students, but as soon as we walked in, he leaned in to Brad and told us that we have ourselves a good girl.  He has stopped me in the hall before and let me know how wonderful Karleigh is doing.  She is getting along with all the kids and following directions and has all excellent markings in her work and social skills.  She makes me so proud.

Grayden also did wonderfully!  He has already learned so much since the beginning of Kindergarten.  His teacher has told me before, and let us know that night, that he is such a good kid.  She said that he gets along with everyone and stays on task and is very eager to learn and he always follows directions.  He is proficient in everything that they have taught so far.  I have to add one more thing about Grayden.  Almost every time I see his primary teacher, she pulls me off to the side and tells me what a great boy Grayden is.  It is so nice to hear good things about your kids!

They both seem very happy with school and are doing great!  I am so thankful for good kids, even though I don't take credit for their awesomeness!

Gymnastics

At the end of August, Karleigh started gymnastics again.  This is her favorite thing to do.  She took a year off from it, but is so happy to be at it again.  She goes for 1.5 hours once a week at the Sport's Academy.  She has already learned so much.  I am so happy she loves gymnastics so much since it was my favorite thing to do growing up.  

Basketball

Karleigh is doing basketball for the 1st time.  There are 2 girls on her team and 8 boys.  She was pretty nervous about it at first, but she is really liking it now!  She has already learned and improved so much and it is so much fun to watch her.  She is every bit as good as those boys.  The first game, she played defense the entire game.  She didn't quite understand that she didn't need to block when she was on offense.  She has offense and defense all worked out now.  

Jackson is having fun watching the games.  

Grayden is bummed that he can't play, but is excited for next year! 

Evy Girl!

Last night, we got to go to this cute girl's 1st birthday party!!!  She is so cute and we love her to death!!!

Mini Vistauns

On Friday night, Karleigh participated in the mini Vistaun camp at Sky View.  She did it with our cute neighbor girls and lots of her friends from school did it too.  She went at 4 and learned a dance, got a T-shirt, and ate dinner.  Then they all performed a pre-game show before the football game.  Karleigh was nervous because her friend told her that a million people were going to be there.  I was really impressed with her.  She had a huge smile and knew all the dance moves and was SO CUTE!  

This is Karleigh and our neighbor Addi.  They were in the same gymnastic class in St. George and then we just happen to be neighbors here in Logan, and her aunt is one of my mom's very best friends.  It's such a small world.  

She just keeps getting cuter!  

This is Karleigh's BFF, Millie.  She lives in our neighborhood and love having her around.  

Tri-School Trot

Sunrise Elementary has a fun fundraiser they do every year.  Three elementary schools come together and the kids set a goal of how many laps they are going to run/walk and then they ask friends/family to sponsor them and donate money.  Karleigh said she was going to do 9 laps and Grayden said he was going to do 10 laps.  They called and got donations from both sets of grandparents, Katie and Steve, and us.  

Karleigh ended up doing 10 laps and so did Grayden.  The time limit was up for their age group, but Grayden was determined to get his 10 laps in, so he kept going.  I was really proud of both of them for not giving up!!  Love my kiddos.  

Baby Wheeler #4

Things are about to get even crazier around our house, and we couldn't be more be more excited about it!!!  We are expecting baby Wheeler #4 due January 31.  I am 19 weeks right now, and we find out what we are having in 3 days!!!!!!!!!  We can't wait.  I have been pretty nauseous, tired, and my emotions have been a little out of whack, definitely my most challenging pregnancy so far, but its all worth it.  I have started to feel a little bit better the last few weeks.

The kids can't wait to meet their little brother or sister.
