Kindergarten

It's taken 4 days and Rylie still wouldn't choose to go to kindergarten but she is OK with the idea. It totally helped that she saw her first grade friends and school today. I'm sure none of you will struggle with the going to school problem, but who knows. Maybe Bridger will find out his teacher doesn't like tractors and never want to go to her class again. Here's a couple pictures from the big event:

Thumb Sucking!

I always thought it was so cute when kids sucked their thumbs - until it was my kid! She loves to suck her thumb!! I hope the video doesnt make you to dizzy. :)

I was finally able to do her hair - this is a photo of it after. And yes - that is Pooh Bear on her dress in the picture above this one. I am not fond on Whinney the Pooh but I had to let her wear the dress at least once. :)

Farm Country

A big thanks to Heather and Becca for accompanying me to Farm Country. The kids had tons of fun. Petting cows are good, riding horses are better. Thank goodness they take yellow tickets, and not just red tickets. We'll have to try more Thanksgiving Point if they ever have discounts again.I'm sure Heath has some good pictures of this event but until she gets her computer back, you'll have to see these.

This is for Em...

Hey Emily, I remember you saying something about wanting to teach a hip hop aerobics class and you weren't good enough, well, I think with this practice, the women in McPherson will be standing in line to take classes from you!

Hudsey's #1 Birthday

Huds had an awesome day today filled with tons of playing, present opening, cake eating and he even got his first buzz. I can't believe he is one! He is such a sweetheart and has such a cute personality. He loves to "looks its" with grandpa, loves waving "good night and I love you" to grandma, loves teasing Jax with his blankie and loves blowing on everything and saying "hot". Here are a few pictures from the fun day. Thanks to everyone for making Huds' day so special!

Family Home Evening

Hey Everybody it's Family Night!
Grandma O is selling her home in Payson and was needing some help cleaning her garage. I volunteered the Fam for Monday Aug 25th Home Evening. She said she would order pizza, so please rsvp to let me know how many people are coming. Thanks

Hudsey's Birthday

Hi! We are going to have a little birthday celebration for Huds on Sunday even though he doesn't even know he's turning 1! Come have some barn yard fun!

Strawberry Blonde

Here ya go, Em. The box said strawberry blonde! We are heading to Rangely for the weekend. Hope everyone else has a great weekend! Just want to let Ben and Cole know that I ate peanut butter french toast this morning and it was amazing!

Lava from the Draper Camera

I was a total picture slacker but here's my favorite pics from the radically awesome Lava trip. I'm not even going to attempt captions.

So, mom and I tried really hard to be funny and I guess (according to Jenn) we are not.

Nic's Pics

So I forgot to take pictures at Lava so I am glad everyone else remembered! Here are a few photos of our trip. I added captions to the ones I could think of!

This was one of the scenic views from our drive to Fossil Butte National Monument.

Ahh - One big happy family!

What you talking about Willis??

Ben took this one - I think it was up Little Cottonwood Canyon.

Laynees Blessing Day

One of these things just doesn't belong here??

Ben thought that the cows on the road were pretty cool.

Too Cute!!

Jaxon and Taylor playing video games.

Ben took this video - I am sure it will entertain Bridge & Jaxon for hours!!
