September!

There was a school pride day at the elementary school, so the girls and I had fun pulling some things together to make blue and yellow outfits. I had ordered a school shirt last year for Kaitlyn, in the smallest size, and it's still too big by a lot for her this year. Emily's shirt is actually one of Logan's, but it was still big on her! So they got to wear ribbons. They were pretty proud of themselves! :)




A fun hair do we did for the girls one day for school. This is Kaitlyn's hair, but Em's had the same thing too.



The kids all sat down together and asked to get their picture taken. Can't say no to that! I love how Logan moves over cause Evan was trying to steal his sucker!

Emmy and Logan sleeping on the couch :)



Evan thinks he's pretty cool! He LOVES to get up here. Must be why I rarely do the dishes when he's awake!



This year the kids are LOVING all the leaves on the ground. They love to rake them and can spend all afternoon playing outside with the leaves and riding bikes. They LOVE to ride bikes! Anyway one day Ryan got out his leaf blower and the kids had fun standing in front of it. I only got one of Logan though.



Kaitlyn and Emily just started taking dance classes! They are loving it! I love that they enjoy something I love so much. And I got to start taking Zumba again. I missed most of the summer because it was too busy to go :( I'm so glad to be back now!!

First day of School!

September 1st, the first day of school! Kaitlyn is in Kindergarten this year! Here's her first day of school pictures




I got to go to Kindergarten orientation with her. So I left the other 3 with a neighbor and went to school with Kaitlyn! They started out in the presentation room and all the teachers introduced themselves along with the new principal, new nurse, and new school councilor. All of them talked for a little bit about things we needed to know. After that all the Kindergartners lined up to go outside and play. I have to say, I got teary eyed when my baby left me to go to her first day of school! I probably would have full on cried, but they got us up and we moved to our child's teachers room. More instruction. Then when it was time to go I saw Kaitlyn lined up outside her room, so I got to stop and give her a big hug before I left. She is SO excited and LOVES kindergarten. I'm glad that she loves school so much!

Emily had her first day of school too! 4K! She didn't leave until after lunch, and the bus came to get her. I can't believe how big she looks climbing onto the bus!



And she wasn't at all excited. Haha, she'd only been waiting a whole YEAR to get to ride the bus and go to school!

Lots of Firsts!

Baby Evan got his first hair cut!

Evan's first time on a trike (He LOVED it!!)






Friday night pizza and a movie night!




It was a big success!!

So I bought a vanity for the girls a LONG time ago. It went with the bed and dresser I got (all from a garage sale). I hadn't put it in their room because I wanted to get it painted. Well it just sat there. For a really long time. Ryan just decided to put it in their room anyways. I'm glad he did. He's right I wasn't going to get it painted. Here's the bench that went with it.



I didn't paint it, but I did change out the fabric. I like it a lot more now!




We got given a walker and here is Evan trying it out.



Ryan had fun playing with Logan's birthday present :) and played ball out back with the kids.







We had a sister missionary who was in our branch at the beginning of her mission and got to come back to finish her mission here!

Happy Birthday Logan!!

After opening his presents we had CAKE time. Luckily by now he was more awake and happy!












After we ate cake, the kids all went out back to play, and Logan played catch with the grownups in the house! He is such a ham.

8-8-08

I still love the fact that my sweet boy was born on 8-8-08. I can't believe that he's already 3. Happy 3rd birthday Logan! I love you!

So we had a birthday party for Logan at Grandma D's house and had the family come over. The only problem? Logan was asleep when everyone got there! We woke him up to open presents. He was still very tired! I felt so bad, cause he took FOREVER to even SMILE at his guests, let a lone like his presents. It does make for a good laugh though!
Also, I love how it's KILLING Kaitlyn. Haha! Poor girl wanted the presents to be for her, and Logan didn't even appreciate them.
