TGIF again

I have to say this is not the first post that I have written since my last. I have tried two time previous and have lost it in the connection. I didn't have the patience or the time to write it again. We only have a few more days until Halloween and the kids are so excited. Brad will actually be here to take them trick or treating. I am so grateful. I will hopefully borrow a camera and post some pictures of my cute kids.

Catie is really excited because tomorrow she gets to go see a BYU girls soccer game with her team. They are going to the Brick oven for dinner and then to the game. Unfortunately I cannot go because I have to help with the Ward party tomorrow night. I hope she has a great experience. Her goal is to play soccer for BYU someday. She also had a birthday this week and turned 11. I can't beleive I have an 11 year old. I know my parents are probably saying I can't beleive I have a 34 year old. This next month is very busy for birthdays in our family.

Tomorrow is official sleep in day. I am not getting out of bed until I have too. I can't wait for the time to change so we don't have to get up in the dark anymore. I feel like it is still nighttime. I don't know how we did it all those years with early morning seminary. It was barely light by the time we went to school.

Well as usual I have someone crying for me. Until next time.

I'm tired.

Life has been busy here at the Ritchie household. We had our last soccer game of the season today. I am so releived. It will be one less thing to get to. The kids are getting excited for Halloween. Luckily this year Brad will be home to help them with their trick or treating. That makes it nice for me. Nathan decided he wanted to be a power range. We saw the costume at the store today and he hasn't taken it off since. He is very excited. Catie decided she wanted to be a clown to match Sarah but we are having some difficulty finding her a costume. I think I might have to pull out the old sewing maching and make her something. Heaven help me. Annie is going to be a witch. Luckily we already have that costume so there is one less thing to worry about.

I have decided this week that I could live on 5 hours of sleep at night if only I could get there. Between teeth and colds there is no rest for the weary. Sarah popped a tooth this week and ended up with an ear infection and a sinus infection. I am afraid she has inherited her daddy's sinuses. Poor thing. Hopefully we will be on the mend and both of us can get some sleep. You forget how much less sleep you get when there is a baby around. None the less we love her.

Well I'm off to make dinner. Bye for now

I decided that it has been long enough since my last blog. Tonight Erin and Scott left for home. They came down for conference and so Scott could take a trip to the Grand Canyon. Erin and I had a great time and I will miss them terribly. We had many a trip to Cafe Rio for those of you who will be jealous. I have to say that I get sick of it by the time family leaves and I don't really eat it again until they come back. It was fun to have Erin's kids here without other cousins. I feel like I got to know them a little better. Nathan and Gracie played surprisingly well. The kids discovered scooters which Scott quickly went out and bought them their own. Matthew is a funny little kid. Erin and I took him to Walmart with us one day and he walked by an isle and saw some key chains. For those of you who don't know he is obsessed with keys. He calls the key chains hookers. He picked one out that Erin volunteered to buy for him and then as we were walking down another isle decided he wanted another one. So I immidiately pipped up, trying to distract him, and told him that Uncle Brad had a lot of hookers at his work and that he would give him one. I soon realized what I had said and Erin and I burst out laughing. We had a great time I am sad it is over but I am looking forward to my mom and dad's visit in November.

We are all doing fine here we are looking forward to a busy October. October is China month so we don't see Brad a whole lot. He was lucky enough to be here for our ward Father and sons camp out. He was excited to take Nathan. This was their first camp out together. It will be a busy month but we will perservere. Love you all. Until next time.
