Labor Day

Logan and Kody were beyond excited for a 3 day weekend and a break from their early schedule. Kody kept trying convince me to take them to Disneyland. Since that was not a possible last minute plan we tried to plan some other fun things. Kody informed me that it was the worst Labor Day holiday weekend he had ever heard of! :) Granted, it was nothing compared to a weekend in Disneyland , but by the end I think everyone (including Kody) had fun! A few of the highlights....

Saturday morning we went to Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and watch them make doughnuts ( I know I am horrible, I have never taken my kids in to see!)

We hung out at my Mom and Dad's. Carrie, Jonathan, and Sophia were here from Idaho!

We also headed out to a park across town that we had never been to!

(Love You Carrie!)

First Day of School 2011

The first day this year was C.R.A.Z.Y. They change our school's start time to 7:50am. Everyone was a little tired but we not only survived, but we made it ON TIME! :)

Logan 4th Grade:

Logan is so excited to be a big 4th grader! It makes Mom a little sad, he's just that much closer to being out of Elementary school! Logan's teacher from last year, Mrs. Pietranton, was moved up to the 4th grade and Logan is lucky enough to have her again! He was SO excited when he opened his envelope and saw that she was going to be his teacher again!

Kody 2nd Grade:

Kody was really nervous this year! After Logan found out he had his same teacher Kody got really excited and said that he hoped that he would have Mrs. Elmore again (Kody LOVED Mrs. Elmore. I think he might have had a little crush on her...) He kept asking if I could home-school him! Once he met Mrs. Mortimer he calmed down a little bit. She seems super nice and so far he is loving her! :)

Our house seem super quiet without the boys home all day! Lucie thinks that we should have girl's days and "girl parties" every day! :)

Kaylee's 2nd Birthday

I have said this many times over the past week, but seriously I can not believe that my baby has turned 2! These past 2 years seem to have gone by SO fast! While it makes me sad that Kaylee (and all of my children) seem to be growing up WAY too fast. I also LOVE this stage.. So far none of my children have hit the "terrible twos" (now three's is a completely different story!). I love how you can almost see their little minds thinking and working things out.

Some things I love about Kaylee.

* I love how Kaylee adds many new words to her vocabulary everyday. I especially love when she uses "big words" like actually and delicious.
* I love how she taps her pointer finger on her lips while thinking and says "hmmm".
* I love how she still thinks I am wonderful! (We all need a little self-esteem boost now and then right?)
*Kaylee has the funniest personality, she has so many "faces" it would take forever to name them all.
*She LOVES her brothers and sister, she especially LOVES Lucie and is devastated when Lucie leaves for preschool/playgroup once a week.
*Jared taught Kaylee to dance, it is the funniest thing ever, someday I will get it on camera.
Obviously I could go on and on but I will stop boring you.

Happy Birthday Kaylee! We love you so much!
