What's happening around the Crabtree casa

I thought I'd give an overdue update! Life is- as always- CRAZY! But I wouldn't trade it for the world. October has been the craziest month for us. I got released as Primary President a few months ago. It had almost been 3 years and I knew it was time; however, it was still hard to let it go, which is how it should be when you've invested so much of your time and whole heart into something for so long. I'm now playing the organ once a month and laying low. :) Kendall is growing like a weed and is SOOOOO busy. Scott and I think she is the busiest of all our kids. She is into everything, puts everything in her mouth, and is a quick little crawler: she can disappear in a matter of seconds! :) The other kids are happy and healthy. Brent is loving school and has now been promoted to playing in the front yard alone. :) HE is begging me to let him walk home from school with his friends but I'm not quite there yet. He is on a mission to run 100 miles before the end of school and it's only October and he's already run 50! miles. He LOVES running. He's not so coordinated so Scott and I joke that he may end up like Forrest Gump- when all he has to do is RUN, well, he can handle that! When you start throwing basketballs, baseball bats, and catching footballs in the mix, then he gets a little discombobulated. But running? He's got it in the bag. Sophie is playing soccer and is quite the little defender. Everything she does when it comes to sports is easy for her and she is a fast little runner. She wants to do gymnastics...we'll see about that. Lily loves preschool and is still going to speech twice a week. She announced the other day that her teacher is a "Grandma teacher!!" and she thought it was the coolest thing ever. (Her preschool teacher just had a grandbaby last year and it's hard for Lily to wrap her head around the fact that she can be both a grandma AND a preschool teacher!) I started teaching piano lessons (because I'm not crazy and busy enough apparently) and I start school again in November for my masters degree / teaching credential. I'm looking forward to that! Scott is still chugging along with work and is our rock. We love that man! Here are some recent pictures from the other day!

Sophie doing her best "SPOOKY" face!
