One Week Down

Caleb survived his first week of First Grade. The first day he came home exhausted. After 2 1/2 hours of Kindergarten, than Summer break, a whole day of school is a little overwhelming. He loves his new teacher, Miss Hellewell. Kayden and Elizabeth come with me in the morning to drop Caleb off at school. Kayden insists on bringing his backpack with him every morning. Poor Kayden has cried a couple of times and thrown a flat out tantrum other times because he wants to stay with Caleb and go to school so bad. He still has two more years before he starts Kindergarten. Hopefully Kayden and Elizabeth will become friends and entertain each other.

Happy "29th" Birthday Grandma

My family came over to celebrate my mom's birthday last Sunday. We had lots of fun and lots of laughs. You'll have to ask her about Edward.

County Fair

We took the kids to the Davis County Fair. They had so much fun going on the rides over and over again. Although, when asked what their favorite part of the fair was, one of the boys said it was the special food. I have to admit that the funnel cakes were really good!! Elizabeth loved the cotton candy.

While looking at the animals, Caleb found out how true it is that goats eat everything. He wasn't paying attention to the goats in the pen he was standing next to, when all of a sudden the goat was eating his shirt. It took me awhile to get the shirt loose- goats have a strong grip apparently.

15 Months Old

At Elizabeth's 15 month well check-up she weighed 18 lbs 10 oz (3%), she's 30 3/4 inches tall (70%) and her head was 17 5/8 inches (25%). She's still in her rear facing car seat. We'll reach that 20 lb mark someday!?!? At least my back isn't sore from carrying around a normal weighted child. Don't let her size fool you though. She can keep up with her brothers pretty good. And don't think about crossing her- she's learned to take care of herself fast with two older brothers!!

Good Thing Aunt Elisa is Patient!

Elisa took pictures of Caleb for his 6th Birthday. Caleb thinks he's a model and was very "helpful" in "posing" for the pictures. He'd grab a vine and wrap it around like a scarf for example. He'd lay across the rocks like he was getting paid for the pictures. Somehow Elisa managed to get some good pictures amongst the several not so good ones. Thanks Elisa!! Check's in the mail.

A couple of the better of the funny ones. Caleb rarely had his head straight and even bent his body in half while he was posing. Don't quit your day job kid!

Pioneer Days

Every year my mom rises early (thanks Mom) and saves us seats for the Bountiful Parade. My Grandparents, Mom, Elisa and her gang and us lined Main St and "cooked" while enjoying the parade. After the parade we went to Artic Cirle for a treat than on up to watch the fireworks. It was a fun night.

Elizabeth loved the parade. Last year she cried through all the sirens, but this year was much better!! She especially liked the Sheriff departments helicopter that flew really low over the parade route.

Kayden enjoyed giving his mom an ulcer during the parade. He ran across Main St (before the parade even started), when he saw Great Grandpa and Grandma arrive. Then he took off during the parade to chase after candy. I put on a nice show chasing after him.

I tried to get the boys to turn around and pose in front of the floats, but they didn't want to miss the parade. The Monsters Vs. Aliens float was so cute I took a picture even though the kids wouldn't turn around and look at the camera.
