We made it, ya'll. We made it to the end of another week.  Seems like a miracle, right?  Sophie had tons of homework last night but crashed at 9:15.  she woke up at 2:00 am to finish the rest before heading to seminary. wow.

Penny is the leader at school today and you get to bring something to share. they really encourage them to bring something meaningful and not the toy story toy they got at target last week.  Penny wants to share the blog book from 2008 with pictures from the day she was born. What a treasure.  Go Blog!

Owen has a really nice friend that we've been hanging out with and i LOVE this kid because he loves sports and has a way that makes owen really want to play and they end up playing outside all the time.   So, his mom and i were talking and I told her that owen mentioned this and she said that Owen was helping spence with his math on the way home in the car.   She said "i just wanted to hug him, I love OWEN!" haha, good mutual friendship.  Spence teaches sports, Owen teaches math. Perfect trade!

And simon, what to say about you since i just put up a blurb about everyone else. you dump any thing and everything on the floor right now.  not just trail mix but anything. goldfish, water bottles, chicken pot pie, you name it. if it touches your hands it's gonna hit the floor. But you also dance with sophie to her favorite song right now,"Stereo heart" and that's pretty cute.

alright, big pics just so we have them in the book.  No need to scroll. there are tons!

1. Tapia bros. pumpkin patch with cute friends.
2. Penny and simon riding ponies at Griffith Park. with Kat and Marghi and Faye. (Penny was way nervous but she gathered strength from chewing her gum, i think. she looked like a real cowgirl, chomping like that)
3. Owen with friends.  i dropped him off and thought it was cute they were waiting for him on the wall.
3. We sold the mini-van.  sophie and the seminary gang on the last day.

Happy weekend!!
