OTHERS October 2011

Motschiedler Madness

Ahhh, Autumn is here! And we have been busy enjoying it!

Desh is on the move! He's crawling and climbing and kicking and grabbing and in.to.ever.y.thing! He finds a new place to explore everyday, which keeps his momma on her toes! His two front bottom teeth popped up last week resulting in an even cuter smile than before. No'ne possibile!

Allyson has decided that October will be her last month working at the Preschool so that she can spend her days playing with 'D' rather than coming up with distractions for him while she works. She and Deshy will miss our friends and the kids at Bluff View, but she's excited to be a stay at home mommy. She's thinking about taking a couple online classes, doing some projects around the house and maybe even another little mad mott to join the family...hmmmmm....

Ken has been enjoying his work at Quiring General. He loves working for a company that appreciates its employees and is family oriented.
Last year, he and his bestie decided to start a business and we are now in escrow for an apartment complex in NW Fresno. If everything goes well we will close at the beginning of November and we will become slumlords. Check out our website: theschussing.com (created by his wonderful wife).

Lots of love,
The Motschiedler Trio



Wadds

We are in school, in church or running around town all week. That pretty much sums our month up.




WARD WIDE WEB
Jeremy was released as Ward Mission Leader and called as the Scout Master over Trevor's age group. He is excited to work with the scouts again - especially since his son will be participating. He is busy planning camp outs and fun activities to get these boys on track to earn their merit badges. He also installed a new radiator in our van - which was much needed and much appreciated :) What a mutli-talented guy!

Jennifer is busy with being a mama. She has learned to appreciate the bus (that we no longer have at our convenience). Driving to and from school several times a day is more time consuming than you'd think! She attends many sporting events, cooks delicious crock pot meals, teaches a few piano lessons, and folds a mean load of laundry in her spare time :)

Trevor is enjoying junior high. He is on the 7th grade water polo team and is doing really good! He gets lots of play time and plays hard when he's out there. He has scored 2 goals for his team so far this season. Trevor turned 12 last month and received the priesthood. This Sunday will be his first time passing the sacrament.

Logan is our football star. This is his first year playing football and he made the varsity team. He looks good in his pads and helmet. Logan is also our soccer star. He is a busy busy boy. Logan plays forward for his team. He got a great head bump the first game, "It didn't feel very good," he said. But it looked really cool!

Lizzie is our bubbly 7 year old girl. She is playing soccer this season and is a star player on her team! She also participates in a weekly dance club after school. Lizzie practices her dance moves any chance she gets - especially in the evening - she likes to crank up the music in the kitchen and get us all groovin'. She loves any social experience. Meeting new girls and having fun are Lizzie's specialty.

Jackson is our kindergarten boy. He is in afternoon kindergarten and is finally getting used to his new schedule. It was a rough start for our Jackson. After the 2nd week of school his teacher tells us, "He did really good today... he was only in time out a few times." She was so proud of him for making progress, but how many times was the kid in time out the first week of school?! Jackson is enjoying his first season of soccer and having his daddy for a coach. Go Jackson!



Jordan and Stephanie

The only thing that has happened to us is that Jordan joined the Air Force National Guard! We are so proud of him to have made this decision. He will go to basic training sometime next year which will be hard but we can do it. He loved having his family there to see him get enlisted.
