September

I went with my siblings to Reno to visit our Grandma Ross. We were so thankful to have this visit with her as she passed away a month later. We had a fun visit, full of laughter! She had a great sense of humor! We will miss her! But we are so glad she is now in a beautiful place, free of pain and the freedom to talk! (her strokes had taken away her ability to talk for many years)

My Grandma always had something to give to the grand and great-grandchildren. She gave these dolls to Audrie out of her huge doll collection. Audrie was thrilled!

This American Girl doll has become such a cute little friend for Audrie.

Maybe she'll stop asking for a sister...

Carson was thrilled, too, but don't worry, his excitement lasted for only a short time. I had to rescue the doll a few too many times.

October

Carson loves his gymnastics class. The kid is freakishly strong - thanks to the muscle genes inherited from his mother!

The Family Potter. Scott's office did this theme so we went along with this even though the kids kept asking, Who's Harry Potter? Thanks to othe internet, they soon found out how exciting it is to be a Quidditch player and Harry himself (who was having an anti-papparazzi moment). Reed is our baby Dementor. I know, so adorable...no cute little fluffy costumes this year!















And in case you need another look at that Hagrid! I mean, how fitting is that?

November

Bike Month at the Price home. Audrie and Carson decided to take off the training wheels on the same day. Audrie couldn't be out done by her little brother - whatever motivates her!



2009 El Tour de Tucson
Scott rode the 80 mile race in 4.5 hours - way to go #8003! (doesn't quite have the same ring to it as #81!)

Thanksgiving at Dr. Smith's cabin. We had a blast getting away from the city. The kids loved it - as you can see why... Dr. Smith is Scott's new Practice partner. We had a great time getting acquainted with his family.

Dr. Price

It's official! 12 years, 3 degrees, 3 kids, and 3 million dollars of debt - Scott is done with school! Congratulations, Dr. Price!!!

I have wanted to post these videos for a while now - they are just pure entertainment!

Preschool Graduate!

Caitlyn, Lexi, and Audrie

Audrie graduated from Trinity Hill Preschool on May 13th! What a cute program! She loved her school and learned so much from her teachers, Mrs. Maurer and Mrs. Turco. It is such a great school - I wish we could keep her there forever! But she is so excited for kindergarten. Congratulations, Audrie!

1st Birthday!

This has been the fastest year ever! Where did it go? Our little Reed, who is not so little, turned 1 on April 9th. What an angel baby he has been! He loves his sister and brother and is even learning how to tease them! They love to make him laugh - his laugh is so adorable that it just makes all of us laugh! For a third baby in a busy house, we couldn't have asked for a better one - he knows that his job is just to get in, buckle up, and hang on for the ride!

Birth stats: April 9, 11:33 am, 7 lbs 11 oz, 21 inches, no hair

1st year stats: 26 lbs, 32 inches (95 percentile!), 4 teeth, still no hair

Happy Birthday, Reed! We love you so much!
