B starts kindergarten

I cant believe Brendan has started kindergarten, he's still my little boy and is just not big enough to be going to elementary school with all those big kids, like Mckaeal. But he has loved every min. of it so far and is making some new friends. These two girls are friends from the neighborhood and one since birth. (Darci and Brendan are a week apart.) I'm glad that he gets excited about school and asks me ten time every morning if its time to go because I know one day he will want to miss school or play sick just to not have to go. So until than I am very happy that he is enjoying it!!

Brendan, Hollie and Darci. (First day of school)

Bear lake

So we decided we needed one more little vacation before the kids went back to school. So a friends of ours rented a boat with skies, tube and wake board and we headed down to Bear lake for the weekend. It was beautiful!! It has been years since Ry or I have been there and we couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The water was a little cold but at least the sun was out the whole time. The kids had a ball just playing in the sand, riding the tube, even Brendan tried to ski...but than got scared. I got up on a wake board and so did Ryan, but my favorite thing was skiing. I grew up on a boat, just haven't had the chance to go for a while so it was so nice to get back on the water and hit the waves!! We also camped at this really nice camp site that had "SHOWERS" which was so nice after being all dirty from the lake. It was a fun little outing!!

2nd grade and the Zoo

Mckaela has started 2nd grade, WOW that went fast!! She was up at like six in the morning because she was so excited to go and of course to wear her new outfit. She just is so grown up and so smart for her own good that I know I will have to closely watch this girl!! I am so proud of her and really hope she enjoys what time she does have in this school, it might only be a month or two before we move.

Most of the kids in her class she has been with since preschool or kindergarten. I think she has made some life long friends here!! (Courtney & keyaira)

Well since Brendan doesn't start until tomorrow I have been trying to do some fun things with him and to keep us both busy. We took a trip to the zoo, with my sister and her kids and even grandpa came with us.

Got to have our picture taken with a Bald Eagle. Riding the train.
This was Addison first time and she was loving it..she just stared at all the animals and she know's few of them, like zebra, so she got excited when she saw them. It was a fun day.

So I have to add these...
Little Addison has just LOVED getting into things these days but mostly finding markers to draw beautiful pictures all over HER SELF!! Did I mention permanent markers. So far she has learned the color blue and red very well. Little trouble maker:)

Look at those big blue eyes!! How can you get made at that?

She thinks its sooooooo funny:)
