Abby's Reflection Entry

Abby's teacher made the Reflections an assignment this year....the theme is "Beautiful". So she took the camera outside the other day after it had been raining and took this picture of one of our roses in front of our house. I don't know if you can see the little rain drops on the flower but it truly is a "beautiful" picture. I told her that she did a great job!

Kyler and Mia at Dinosaur Park

I took Kyler and Mia up to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden. Kyler had never been there before and he thought he had died and gone to Heaven. He had soooo much fun just running every where and seeing the different dinosaurs. He LOVED the pictures with the face cutouts...we had to take a picture in every one of them. It was fun to see both the kids have such a great time. Kyler keeps talking about going back.

First Day of PRESCHOOL -- for Kyler

Yeah...it is Kyler's turn to have his "first day of school." He was so excited to go see Miss Bonnie and start going to school like the other kids. He loves school, but he really likes being home with me during the day when it is quiet and the other kids are gone. There are times when the kids have had a break from school that he will come up and ask me when the kids are going back to school. He is my bud and I love having him around...I can't believe that he will be turning 5 in a week!!!


Notice his name tag on the table...he isn't really happy about that situation. He would rather have a little bit more freedom and be able to choose where he sits. That is one thing that he brings up a lot..."I sure wish that I could choose my own seat". Lesson learned: Life goes on!!!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Yes, I am getting around to posting the "first day of school" pictures. Yes, I am well aware of the fact that the first quarter of school is almost over!!! But I thought it would be fun to post these pictures. Zeth wouldn't let me follow him to the bus stop to snap some shots while he was getting on, and I only wanted one of him waving out the window at me...is that too much to ask?!? Kyler has to wait another week before he goes to preschool...but he did say, "hey take a picture of me!" ... how can you not??? He makes me laugh.






My kids are growing up!!!

The Layton Triathlon...Zeth & Abby

Zeth has been wanting to do a Triathlon for a couple of years. So this year we decided that he would do one in Layton and Russ and I would do the Bountiful one the following week...I wanted to be able to see him run it rather than have him run it with us. His was a little bit different...he started out with the swim, bike and run, but then he had to do it all over again!! It was a "repeat" triathlon. But he did awesome...taking first place in his age group. (There was only two in his age group, but that is something that we don't tell everyone!!) After the "big" race was over they had a kids' version that Abby participated in...she had a blast!
