Tiffany and David Steele Family

September has come and gone.....Nothing much has happened since the last time we posted on the blog. Our cruise pictures are in the slide show. Benjamin is a chatter box and will try to say whatever you say....talk about monkey see monkey do....or should I say monkey hear monkey say! He is very funny....he will feed his stuffed animals and other toys (like trucks) with his sippy cup. He will also make the sound affects of someone taking a drink....don't know where he learned that. When we go feed the turtles he says "Hello Turtles" and then trys to give them kisses. What he really wishes is that he could dive in head first and swim with the turtles! We also go on Lizard Hunts. He loves to watch the Lizards run and hide....he looks in and under the bushes....and he also trys to give the Lizards kisses. There is no dull moment with Benjamin. Dave is still knocking on doors and doing well....we are just counting down the weeks now until he gets a well deserved break....4 weeks! The weather is changing here in Florida....it is becoming fall...who would have thought? Its not really humidt anymore and alot cooler in the mornings and at night. So there is hope that we won't cook all winter long. Well thats all from 3,000 miles away. Talk to you soon.

Love the Florida Steele's

September was a fun and busy month for our family as usual. Joseph has enjoyed being in school and has loved his after school reading program with his "tutor" as they work through these workbooks about reading. He is still taking piano and loves it. This week he is working on "Ode to Joy" which is two pages long. He is doing really well with it. It teaches him all three hand positions for "C". It teaches him the bass, middle and treble "C" position. So he moves all over the keyboard when playing. He is much better than I ever was. He does great. He is off track now beginning this week and will remain off track for three weeks. He will go back the week of Halloween. That is such a fun time of year, I am glad he is in school for that. It will be fun for the kids.

The girls are doing great. They have enjoyed going back to ballet class. I have signed them up for the next session already. I think that I will do this until they begin pre-school next fall. They seem to love it and do really good at it. They take it so seriously and try so hard. I really like their teacher, she is great and has three kids of her own, so she is really good with the kids. The class is small which I also like. All the kids are getting ready with their primary program parts. That is coming up after conference. We have a great music leader and the kids know the songs well. The girls are going to say thier names and then say "I am a child of God." I think they will do great.

Mike is keeping very busy with church, work, and school. He is still riding the light rail and bus almost every day to save on gas. He is driving the car to the light rail station which is about 5 miles and then riding the light rail and bus the rest of the way. He also rides the light rail to and from school. It seems to be working really well and he seems to like it. He says it is relaxing and he can study and read his scriptures while riding. Sounds nice to me. The only drawback is late on Monday night catching the train, not the best side of town. But he says he catches the first train that comes and then does a transfer later at a better station. He has a free pass on his student i.d. so he rides it all for free. School is going well, keeping him busy.

Things this month have been good for me. I had fun at a Super Saturday a couple of weeks ago. I made some Christmas soap dishes and some sweet treats. Then they had lunch it was fun. I also had a fun girls weekend with three of my good friends this past weekend. We went up to Estes Park on Friday and then got back Saturday night. I arranged a sitter for Friday because we left around 4:00 and then we got there and checked into the hotel. Not the same one we stayed at when we were there. This one was much nicer. We then went out to eat and then just visited that night in the hotel. Things quiet down up there after dark. The next day we got ready and went window shopping. Then had some hamburgers and fries and then went on a walk. We saw some elk because no trip would be complete to Estes without some elk sightings. Then we drove down the mountain (no one threw up) and made it back to my fri ends stake center in time for the women's conference. We all had a great time, I recommend it to anyone who needs a little break.

The ultra sound is this Wednesday and we will be calling everyone to let them know what it is, if we can tell.

We will talk soon.

Sorry so late!

Sorry that this month of the Newsletter is sooooo late!!! It will not happen again. But I hope that you enjoy and next month there will be more embelishments (if you know what I mean.)

Well the big news for us is that we went on a cruise to the Bahamas and to Key West Florida. We had so much fun! I highly recommend CRUISING!!! Benjamin is talking up a storm now and trying to say everything that you say to him....it is quite funny. We had fun with mom and dad visiting! It was very hot and humid for them.....so all I told them was welcome to Florida!!! And anyone is welcome to come and visit at any time. So if you have been wondering about all the Hurricanes...we are surviving physically...but not so much mentally! Lets just say that I will not miss hurricane season! So Dave will work until the end of October and then study until December 6th for the LSAT.....So thats all for now! Love you all.

Reed and Summer

I don’t really remember much of what happened in August. It seems like we were in August a whole year! School started for me on the 12th which made for a long month getting in the groove with everything, and it also was the 9th month of Summer’s pregnancy, and ladies you know how fun that is! We will be having the baby tomorrow for sure!!! We have a C-section scheduled on Saturday at 8 am. Summer is not progressing with labor, and they can’t induce her since she’s had C-section previously, they will just have a C-section. Mom and dad are coming up to be with Dallin which will be very helpful. I also started up college again which makes me pretty busy again, but the good news is that I am going to graduate next summer and be done with it! Sorry that there is nothing much more exciting that this going on with us! Have a great month! Wish us luck with Baby!

WOW – Mom and I had a great time in Florida with Tiffany, Dave and Benjamin.

They have a very nice apartment that is bigger than our first house that we owned.

I enjoyed going to church with Dave and listening to his Gospel Doctrine lesson.

We had a great time feeding the Turtles that are in the pond in the apartment area.

Sorry to Dave that Washington lost of Utah. Although I am sure that Mike is happy

for the Utes! Dave what happened last week to the Huskies? Oh well, the important thing is that ASU is 2-0 soon to be 3-0. The Georgia game willbe great to watch.

Next week end – Mom and I will be in St. George to help with Dallin while Summer has

the baby. We will be staying at the Hampton in Friday and Saturday night on a sleep

over with Dally Boy. The hot weather is starting to turn to the cooler Fall temperatures – so life in Las Vegas is good.

We love each of you and are thankful for the efforts you make in keeping in touch

with the family, conducting family home evening, attending church, reading the scripture and all the other things the Church requires.

Let’s all pray for the Health of Summer and the baby. Also a successful pregnancy for Paula.

We love you All!

The past six weeks have been very busy for us since we saw everyone at the reunion and funeral. I got back from the funeral and then Joseph started school. He has been in since then. He will break for three weeks beginning on September 25. He was invited to join an after school reading program that meets twice a week for an hour at a time. It is called Reading Together. He meets with a tutor who is in 4th grade and together they are working on two work books that help with his reading comprehension and retention. He seems to really like it. I am glad that he is doing it. He is also enjoying the piano lessons and loves his cub scouts. This last pack meeting he received his wolf badge and 5 arrow points. He also received three belt loops which were for archery, basketball, and geology. He got a badge for his twilight camp as well. Needless to say he had a fun night and excels at his scouting. He does great. He is now working towards two other badges and his faith in God religious square knot.

The girls are doing really well. They begin their ballet class again on Thursday, which they love. I am taking them a reading group every Wednesday morning now at the library which they also love. They do this during the school year and they go with one of their friends. They all seem to have a good time and my good friend Elizabeth sit in the back and try to stay awake. But the kids are having fun.

Mike is keeping busy with school. He is taking two classes downtown this semester. He rides the light rail down there to save on gas and parking for us. It seems to work out really well. He has a free pass on his student i.d. card, so he rides the bus and light rail for free. After this semester, he will have one more and then a summer term. He will graduate on August of 2009. We are excited. He is still working as the ward mission leader. We will have four new member baptisms on Wednesday, so that is good news. I have been assigned to be the new sister's visiting teacher, so I will get to know her better.

We all enjoyed a fun night out at the Rockies game a couple of weeks ago. They had a school night out for Timberline so we sat as a big group. Joseph had a great time and the girls were troopers, they did really well.

I have my ultra-sound scheduled for October 1st, so I hope to find out what we are having then. That will be fun to find out. The girls want to name the baby either Princess, Dora, or Harry Potter. That of course depends on the gender of the baby. They both have babies in their tummies as well.

We will talk soon. We have a blog now if anyone wants to look. It is thedenvernelsons.blogspot.com
