First of all, Erick is in his Surgery rotation and is loving it. He is working with two vascular surgeons and has had a lot of hands on experience. He works 7 days a week, most people would think that is horrible, he thinks it is GREAT!!! He is singing in a choir here that will be doing some Christmas concerts which we are all excited about. We have also heard they will be singing at the temple re-dedication. Koby is getting so big, he is now officially five months old. He is rolling all over the place and eating rice cereal. He loves Bryn and Kyler and all the entertaining they give him. He is such a happy baby and will give anyone a huge smile. I like to pretend he knows when I ask for a kiss, because he really plants one on you, however, I think if you just get close enough to his face he would do it weather you ask for a kiss or not!!! Bryn is loving school, she got all A's on her report card and one B which we all think is wonderful because she made the honor roll. She makes friends where ever she goes. She and Erick had their first Daddy-Daughter dance. It was a luau and they had a great time. She has a bunch of gentlemen callers that circle our house on their bikes when she is outside playing. However, she is oblivious to their efforts of getting her attention. She is a huge help to me with Koby. She loves to dance around the room with him which always makes him laugh, she can stand in front of him and dance around and entertain him for hours. Kyler is also loving school and does very well in class. He is starting to read and wants to tell us what letter EVERYTHING starts with. He always has a ball in his hands or kicking one with his foot. It doesn't matter what kind of ball, he likes them all. He loves to play with Koby and can't wait until Koby can wrestle with him. I have to remind him sometimes that he is not big enough yet, but he really loves his brother and always wants to give him kisses. I am still plugging away at my school work and will finish classes next summer. Then I will just have to student teach to finish up. Now for the fun part....

We also to a trip about 45 minutes north of us. Bryn has been learning in school about the state of Georgia and wanted to see some of the sites they have been learning about. This trip took us to tallulah gorge. It was beautiful. The leaves were changing and the temperature was perfect. We hiked down to a bridge that went over the waterfalls and then came back up. We were very close to South Carolina where Erick served his mission, and after we got back, he realized he had actually been to Tallulah gorge on his mission! Anyway, it was really fun.
