Kylie's first day of Kindergarten

She has been so excited to start school. We had to wait a whole extra week for her to start though and she was pretty disappointed. We were able to meet her teacher Mrs. Terry last Friday. We both accidentally slept through our scheduled time, but luckily got to meet her just a little later. She seems like a great teacher and I am excited for Kylie to have a great year! Now I just have to get used to the half day kindergarten schedule. I asked her if she wanted to just stay home with me but she quickly made it known that she did not want to stay home and that school was the place for her to be.

She didn't want me to take anymore pictures! She looks really cute though.

I am sure this cute girl is going to give her teacher a run for her money. But I sure will miss her smile, and laugh when she is at school!

bed bugs

Woke up one morning and had 3 extra visitors. Sure makes for an uncomfortable night!

Happy Birthday Mom!

My mom is such an example of service. She is always doing something for someone else. Love her and I'm so glad that she is my mom! This birthday was a little more fun for me because I was here to help her celebrate. We went to Molly's and had a great lunch, and a lot of fun visiting and helping my mom celebrate her birthday!

Happy Birthday Mom....we love you!! (Kim we missed you!)

Ginger comes to visit

Ginger came to visit and we had a great weekend. It was full of yummy food, good conversation, good times miniature golfing and lots of laughing.

Of course the chickens were a huge hit!

My favorite day was Sunday we were able to have lots of good family time in the backyard with lots of cousins. Lots of fun baseball, some volleyball, yummy smores, and super yummy

strawberry tarts. Thanks for coming to visit Ginger!

An afternoon at our house

Begins with a little water and dirt...

makes for lots of smiles. And yes my kids are wearing jackets we were cold! We have thin Arizona blood right now :-)

Cougar Kickoff

We took the kids to the Cougar Kickoff. The kids had a great time getting autographs from the woman's soccer team, and the football team, trying on the football helmets. But they also enjoyed dancing and running in the races, and throwing the football. Go Cougars!

Tanner's first day of 1st Grade

Tanner was so excited about his first day of school. He was a little nervous too because he doesn't know anyone in his class. We picked out his clothes the night before, got most of his lunch ready, and all his school supplies. He didn't even fight me about going to bed it was a miracle. He is in Mrs Candland's class and we got the 8 am start time. I was a little disappointed as I would have liked starting at 9:15 a little better but we will have to do good with the early morning thing again :-). This morning when he woke up he was so happy, but I think he was a little nervous because he couldn't eat much of his favorite breakfast, eggs and biscuits with honey. I sure hope he has a great day and can make some new friends! Sure love this boy!!
He told me I was only allowed to take 3 pictures...whoops took a few more than 3! Kylie is missing as she said it was too cold, boy she is in for a surprise in a few months!

See you at 2!
