She Loves Sauce

Megan has found a love in sauce and dipping. I think it actually makes her eat better. However, it can be messy. She will dip anything and everything and it doesn't matter what kind of sauce it is as long as she can dip her food in it. 

Eliza Did It!

Eliza just recently took big interest into riding her big bike. She kept getting frustrated because the training wheels weren't working right so I just decided to take them off and it was not long at all until she just took off. Once she gets going she is fine. She needs a little help to get started but she is doing so well. Go Eliza!

Fall Family Pictures

Fun at Trafalga

Mike took the kids to Trafalga and they had so much fun. Mike said that Eliza rode the airplanes and Ty had a lot of fun on the race cars. 

Play With Me

Ty has been really interested in football lately and so we signed him up to play flag football. He is always trying to talk his dad into playing catch with him. He even spent his own money on a BYU football and it is actually a little bit smaller than the one we had so it is better for him to catch and throw.

Payson City Days Parade

Today we went to the Payson city days parade. It was hot and long and the kids got a lot of candy. 

Boxing Battle

When Grandma Olson came to our house she brought with her these humongous blow up boxing gloves for the kids to have fun with and that they did. Grandma's are the best. 

Happy Birthday Chari

We started out my 30th birthday celebration by Mike and I going out to dinner at Red Robin while our neighbor watched our kids. The next night we had a family temple night where the adults and Kaylee and Coy went and did baptisms for the dead and the other kids stayed at our house and played. After the temple we came back and had ice cream and cupcakes. 

My birthday was on Sunday. We celebrated by going to church where I had to teach the relief society lesson. The Rush family and Camille came and spent the day with us. We had a yummy dinner and then cake and ice cream. Mike made a yummy cake with my favorite white chocolate raspberry frosting. Yum.

This beautiful girl went to nursery for the first time and shed no tears. I felt a little empty handed but I think she had fun. They brought her to me once but only cause she spilt her whole cup of water and her dress and diaper were soaked. I changed her diaper and dropped her off again. I guess I had better start teaching her how to drink from a cup.

This little girl has the cutest personality and we love her in our family.

Eliza's in Preschool...First Day of School

Eliza is doing preschool at Taylor elementary three days a week this year, Her teacher is Miss Ronette Hoefling. There are two aids that help in her class Miss Ilauna and Miss Kim and she has a speech therapist Miss Nicole. She is also doing the Waterford Upstart computer preschool program. She was so excited to be going to the same school as Ty this year and gets so excited when she sees him at school. My house was strangely quiet with just Megan home...but also kinda nice.

The bus comes and picks her up this year like it did last year. However, the first day we sat outside and waited for the bus but  there was a little mix up and the bus never came and got her. Good thing we are only a couple of minutes away and I drove her to school and we got everything sorted out and she was able to ride home on the bus.
