Ready for Candy
Our friends kept the decorations up from the adult party we had the weekend before and we all brought out kids back to have a little party. There was dancing, pinatas and doughnut games. Our kids had a blast. There were little dancing machines.
Teag found a gun at their house and was shooting everyone. Whenever he would shoot me though, he would say, I'm sorry mommy" and give me a kiss. What a sweet boy.
Cheeser Presley.

5th Birthday

Presley turned 5 on October 3rd. We had a happy Sunday down in SLC watching conference and eating yummy food and of course, playing with cousins. She shares a birthday with one of her cousins, Brookie. We had a birthday party at home the next day. This is Presley before the party.

Her and all the little girls.
Making a craft.
Presley sitting by her cake.
A little better picture of the cake. I thought it turned out pretty well. I think all the hard work was definitely lost on all these 4 and 5 year olds but oh well. I haven't decided if I go to the effort of these cakes for me or for my kids. I do have a good time doing it even if it does take some extra time.
Happy Birthday to Presley. I hope she had a great day. Although she was confused when I took her back to her preschool after she turned 5. she thought that she got to go to kindergarten after she turned 5.

First Day of School 2010

First day of school pictures. My girls were both so excited. This is sweet Kenady. I can't believe I have a second grader.

And cutie Presley, she has one more year of preschool.
She got tired of pictures I guess.
Teag trying to pose like the girls.
What a little cutie!
And last of all, a sign of a well spent summer. His tan line proves what a great summer we had. I still have some pictures to post of summer and other odds and ends. I might get to that, but i wouldn't want to break my streak of one blogpost a month. I just couldn't be that on top of it!

Its better this way!

So we've been trying to run around as much as possible during this short but awesome summer. I hate to waste summer weekends so we have been going, going, going. And I love it. I'm so sad that my kids are starting school next week. Its lucky its gets cold around here so quickly or I would probably get the summertime blues.

But all is well. We are gearing up for one last labor day camping hurrah and its going to be a good one. Thursday to Monday with a quick trip home for church on Sunday and then back out. We are very excited.

These are just some funny pics of my kids. I guess caramel popcorn tastes better if you eat it while sitting on the cupboard because this is what I walked in and saw.

Nice.
Boo to summer being over. At least I love fall too. It gets cold but from here til December I get distracted easily with volleyball, football, hunting, halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas so I can manage saying farewell to summer! Hope you've all had great summers!

Big Sisters are the best!

Me: "Hey kids sit down so I can get a picture of all three of you"

Teag: "Whatev...I'm outta here."

Me: "Ok just one of the girls, so cute!"

Meanwhile,

Teag: " Uh, Uh Uh, my flippin' motorcycle is stuck!"

The girls jump up to run and help.
Good thing for big sisters.

Teag's next words were: "Brmmmm, Brmmmm."
Love these little cuties!
