my girls are growing up.

Mckaela continues to grow up, are you kidding me FIRST grade! She now goes to school and is gone ALL day. She has recess with the big kids, carries her own tray for lunch and has homework to do at night. What happen to my little girl? The girls off to break all the boys hearts....
lining up for their big first day!
I thought Kindergarten was hard but now this...then it will Jr. high, High school, marriage. Will it ever slow down? She was so excited and really likes her teacher. This will be a fun year for my soon to be teenager!

The walker....it has begun. So I just have to let my oldest off to school all day and then this...the little one think she can just take off too.

House for sale....WHAT?

Yes it is true we have decided to finally make the next move. We have found an area that we would like to build (my house with a big front porch). We have been looking for some time and just nothing has grabbed our attention, well that's because we were going the wrong direction. We might be living in Farmington. It is the opposite way we thought we would ever end up but we just have really fell in love with this area! So now the wait begins of selling our home. This is going to be a hard move for us. We really love our neighbors, ward and most of our family is so close by but we just feel this is right for us right now! So for those of you who have built your home, any words of advise?

Brendan had his first day of school and was so excited to get back. Despite the big scrape on his forehead, he is one handsome little boy! He has Miss Gina this year. Mckaela had her too and I really loved her!
So now that summer vacation is coming to an end we thought before the kids started back to school we wanted to have one more fun day and took them to ranging waters. It has been so long since I have been there but not much has changed over the last ten years. The kids had a lot of fun going down the slide, the wave pool and just relaxing.


I am exciting for school to start, mom is ready for that little break each day. But it will be very different with Mckaela going all day long, having lunch at school and carring her little tray around. They really are growing up way to fast. I will miss them!!!

out of it...

Brendan had the pleasure of going to the dentist and having some filling's done. (Let's just say I wish I was working for a dentist again because when you are working for one they usually will do the work for free.) $1400 later, yes I said $1400 later...I am still trying to get over this. He had to be put to sleep for this because he freaks out just to have the dentist look in his mouth. After words he was hilarious when I brought him home. Ryan and I were laughing because he was so out of it but he was so determined to walk on his own, almost throwing a fit to do so, so what do you do but let them try. So here is a little clip of his attempt.
