First Day of School and Camping over Labor Day

Well, this has been a busy week. On Tuesday it was Jacob's birthday. So we all woke up early so Jacob could open up his presents and then John could go to work. Jacob got a pocket knife and a model airplane.




Then it was Joshua's first day of Kindergarten. He was so excited. It was fun getting ready for school. Then once he got to school and was standing in line ready to go in with his teacher, you could see the apprehension on his face. It was kind of sad for me to see my 2nd child leave for Kindergarten. He came home from school and had a great day! He loves Kindergarten because he likes to sit. He is already so excited to read.






Then this weekend we went up to John's parents house for a campout. It was us and his parents and Jackie and her kids. We met Jackie's new friend Preston. we had a great time. We had fried chicken and potatoe salad for dinner. The kids loved cooking smore's over the fire. The kids and John and Grandma slept out under the starts. Wyatt and I slept in the house. Then on Saturday we all went geo-caching. We found two geo-caches. It was pretty fun. The kids played in the sand box almost the whole time. They loved it. We all came home very dirty and tired. We hada great time!

First Day Of School

Well, Monday was Jacob's first day of achool. His teacher this year is Mrs. Ebert. I think she will be very good. Jacob likes her. He was so excited to go back to school. He is most excited to learn cursive writing and the times tables. After the first day when we were walking home he was disappointed. He said, "Mom, we didn't learn anything today." He was ready to just jump in with both feet. I am glad he likes learning so much.

Last Day of Fun Before School

So we decided to have one last day of fun before school starts on Monday. So we went downtown and saw the sights. The Declaration of Independance was on display at the Capitol building so we went there and saw it. Pretty cool. The building is neat. Joshua said that was the coolest building he's ever been too. We also saw the monument for the Mormon Batalion. I had an ancestor who we found on the wall. William Smith Muir was there. There is a picture on the left of his name. Then we went to a park up on 11th Avenue where John and I used to hang out when single and we had a picnic lunch. Afterwards, we went to the City Library. The kids loved exploring through the library. We walked on the wall outside and saw the marvelous childrens room. To bad we can't check books out there and return them to our library. Abigail was very leary of getting on the all glass elevator. She would hang on our legs and wouldn't move. It was a pretty fun day.

Wyatt

Oh boy summer is coming to a close . . .

Well, summer is almost over for us. School starts next week. We have been trying to make the most of what we have left. Each night the kids and I go for a bike ride. Abigail is getting very good. Saturday, John took of her training wheels and she didn't even crash. She just went like a wild woman, making tight turns and everything. Watch out every one!!! She doesn't stop for anyone.

Today we were outside and all of a sudden it started hailing huge pieces of hail. I have never seen it hail like that. All our neighbors all came outside to see the hail. Our kids thought it was great. They all started collecting the balls of hail.

We also got our first two ripe tomatoes today. Yah!!! Canning season will be upon us soon!! I can't wait.

Yesterday we went swimming at Serena's pool. I forgot my camera, so you will have to imaging it. We had fun. Wyatt just slept in his car seat the whole time. We had a great time.

John is back to going to Bear Lake working on the huge houses up there.

Saturday Cleaning Day

Well, this Saturday we have been busy. We moved the computers out of the computer room and now we finally got all the toys moved into the computer room. Which is now titled the "toy room". Now we will be able to move Wyatt our of our bedroom and put him in Abigail's room. Abigial is so excited. Ever since he has been born Abigail has said how scared she is to go to sleep because she doesn't want to go to sleep alone. Now that Wyatt is in there hopefully this problem will be solved.

Wyatt is now smiling and gooing and gahhing all the time now. He is sooooo cute. I love the cute little baby sounds that they make. He is just growing and being a wonderful little boy.

We had a BBQ last night. We had some friends over for Dutch Oven dinner. We let the kids play in the blow up pool. John made BBQ ribs and chicken and potatoes and berry pie. It was a huge success.

Pioneer Day Holiday

Hi. I thought I would try out this blogging. So here it goes. For the Pioneer Day Weekend we went to Kamas. We went to the Stokes reunion held at the Woodland church. After that John took Jacob and Joshua shooting guns. Grandpa went with them. The boys loved it! This was their first time shooting. After that they then went to the Demolition Derby. It was a great derby. Grandma and I stayed home with Abigail and Wyatt. It was a good day.
