First Day of First Grade

It has begun, the school year, that is.  I am so excited that Kaily is going back to school, almost as excited as she is.  We met her teacher last week and she seems very nice.  Kaily is nervous, but happy to be in first grade.  She is most excited to see her friends that she hasn't seen since May.

I can't believe she will be gone the whole day and I will have to pack lunches for her.  I remember when I said this day was"so far away" and now it's here.  It's crazy how fast time goes by.

Potty Training

I thought when Conner showed interest in the potty at 18 months it would be SO easy to train him....fast forward 2 years later and we have finally made it to the end, almost.  He stays dry all day so our next step is the night time, but I'm just working on him staying dry even when we are out of the house.  He was so excited that he stayed dry for 2 weeks that we bought him Thomas undies.

Art Festival

Clint and I have always wanted to go to the Park City Art Festival so we made plans this year to attend.  We had a great time.  We were there for a good 4-5 hours looking at different artists and admiring their work.  Clint got some great ideas and learned a few new tricks for drawing.  The kids were great sports, but they enjoyed the kids section most of all.






The kids love getting their faces painted and Conner couldn't stay away from the KSL booth where they could sit at an anchor desk and see themselves on a t.v they had there.  Normally Conner is pretty shy, but with his face painted he turns into a different kid.  After we left the kids area he would run up to strangers and growl at them as loud as he could.  Some of them thought he was very cute, Clint and I were trying not to be embarrassed.

Day out with friends

 Our friends came over yesterday and spent the day with us.  Clint was a gem and watched all 5 kids while Jen and I went to get our hair done.  I cut and died it.  You can't really tell in the pics the color I went, but it's red.  After going out to lunch we saved Clint from the kids and took them to Union Station.  The kids had a blast playing on the trains and running around.

Anniversary

8 Years ago I married the best man for me.  Since then we have...

  • lived in 3 different towns
  • lived in 4 different houses
  • had 3 kids
  • changed majors 5 times
  • gone through 6 cars
It's been a great 8 years and I look forward to many more memories together.
For our Anniversary this year Clint made arrangements for a babysitter and took me to the SLC Temple.  A few days later he took me to a movie and out to dinner.  He made me a great breakfast and cleaned the house for me also.  I was really spoiled this year.  It was great to spend time with JUST him, that doesn't happen very often.
