My Blessings

I am so thankful that I get to be momma to these 3 wonderful kids!
We are getting in the swing of our school schedules, David is doing preschool this year. We are currently working on the potty training, it'll be good to get that done.

 

The girls had pictures today. They look pretty cute huh? (they don't like these shirts but they put up with them for mamma)

 

Love these three! ;)

 

Labor Day in Idaho

We visited Wayne's brother in Twin Falls this weekend. It was so nice and we had lots of fun playing, visiting and seeing the sights, we truly didn't want to leave.
We drove north towards Sun Valley and stopped to see an Ice Cave. It was chilly and dark inside. There was about 20-30 feet of ice in the deepest part.

 

We also drove further north and east to see the Craters of the Moon. Its a pretty cool place, with lots of lava rock and flows. We had lunch and played around in the dirt and rocks.

 

Then we did a little 'hiking' around to see some caves and old volcanos.

 

We also drove to this little waterfall in Twin Falls where you can walk right under it. Pretty cool!

 

Back to School Fun

We were all ready for school to start today. Anna layed out her outfit to wear the night before, and before I even went to wake her up she got dressed and hurried out for breakfast. She was excited! (and a little nervous).

We drove her in for the first day. David was excited too, he wanted his own backpack. Megan also met with her Kindergarten teacher this morning. She was kind of silly and talkative. I realized that was her way of dealing with being nervous. Anna is quiet and timid when she is nervous.

We found Anna's desk on the front row! She is going to have a great year with a really nice teacher who lives in our ward, and some good friends in her class.

In the afternoon Megan and I made some special sugar cookies for Anna when she got home. Lots of fun!

A Great Summer!

Well its back to school time for us, school starts this Thursday! We are excited and ready, but we have had a GREAT summer! I've been terrible about taking pictures but we have had lots of fun, so I thought I better write it down so we'd remember anyway.
We had two weeks of swimming lessons: Anna and Megan had fun with their cousins and learned a lot! They have also been swimming in our pool almost every day. We've invited cousins and friends over to enjoy it with us, its always more fun with friends! They learned how to make a 'wave pool' and a 'swirl pool'. And there is always lots of jumping off the ladder.
They are both much more comfortable in the water and learning to glide and swim around under the water comfortablly.
We have also had fun camping in our trailer. David loves going to the 'tall mountains!'. And the girls have so much fun playing with family and friends exploring in the woods. We even had a little BBQ with some friends this week and really enjoyed it. So its sad to see summer coming to an end, but we are looking forward to lots of fun this school year with Anna in 2nd grade, Megan in Kindergarten and David in preschool. I'm going to be driving lots!

4th of July parade

We had a fun family reunion over the 4th of July. All the kids got dressed up for a parade. So fun!

 

 

 

Grandma and Grandpa helped with the parade route. While the paparazi took lots of pictures!

 

David was so cute 'marching' his feet!

 

 

Water Fight!

My nephews helped me clean up my yard today, then we had a fun water fight! (more cleaning up after ;))
We started out with some water guns and water balloons, and some forts to hide behind. Then we got a little smarter and started using some bowls and buckets and hoses and sprinklers. What a fun time, we sure got wet!

 

 

David was loving it! He was right in on all the action. Earlier in the day we were working on a craft and he got into some blue fingernail polish. I guess he thought it was for his eyes! I washed out what I could, guess he's just gonna have to wear it for a while.

 

 

Anna and Megan weren't so into the whole water fight, but had fun watching and running and screaming! Anna discovered her tactic: sneak and turn off the other team's hose!

 

Here is the other fort, it only got used for the first couple of minutes. I did put the camera down and join in on the fun, bringing back lots of memories of my water fights with Tony. He always got me good. Poor Logan took the brunt of it, but had fun anyway. It was a cooler stormy day. We had rain, wind, hail, lighting all night long after. It has been a really good week!: swimming at Rec center, and in our pool, watching a movie outside with our projector, playing the Farming game, and the Wii, and hunting for Ising glass.
