The Lea-Log: Autumntime Fun

Autumntime Fun

One day this last week, Lehi said he would entertain Jayda while Tai and I took a nap. When I woke up and looked out the window to our backyard, this is what I found. Apparently Lehi and Jayda raked the gazillion leaves in our yard into a humongous pile. I grabbed the camera and a grumpy Tai (he must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed after his nap) and we went outside to join in on the autumntime fun.

This pile of leaves was as tall as Jayda and you can't really tell from this picure, but it is a very long pile, too.

Tai did not want to have anything to do with the leaves at first ("eeww" he said) but after seeing the fun Jayda was having, he decided to finally join in.

Jayda is an outgoing 6 year old, able to befriend all types of personalities. Our big first grader loves reading and writing stories. She wants to be an author and a librarian when she grows up. She also loves singing and performing--especially when it is one of the songs she wrote. She is a soccer player, a gymnast, a dancer, and a swimmer. She still loves Superman and tells us she wants to marry him someday (he is a common character in many of the stories that she writes). She loves her new baby sister, Jasmyn, and has been such a wonderful helper with her and Tai.

Tai is the middle child in our family.
One outstanding feature that Tai has is his unnaturally long eyelashes. At the hospital, Tai was famous. Nurses would come in to Jen's hospital room and instead of using her name, she would be referred to as the mother of the long-lashed baby. He is now an energetic 2 year old and a total mama's boy. You will hardly see him without a toy car/motorcycle/train in his hand. Often you will catch him belting out a rendition of Queens "We will, we will...ROCK YOU" or "I like to move it, move it" from Madagascar. On the more sensitive side, he is always the first to offer to say a family prayer at the dinner table or before bed.
