September Update

Life has been busy and fun! I feel like it's harder to keep up on my blog lately. We've been busy with school,extracurricular activities, etc. The kids are both doing music class and gymnastics. I also this weekend just did the Red Rock Relay with a group of ladies. That was fun and exhausting. It started in Brianhead and ended in St. George. I had a leg that was in the middle of the night and was mostly running by myself. Freaky! Anyway here are some pictures over the past couple of weeks. The pictures in the kids yellow shirts is when we did a 5k Huntsman Cancer run and the kids did a 1k run. Then they got their faces painted. It was a lot of fun!

Clark and his friend,Naomi,walking to the kindergarten line. So cute!

My Grandpa Passing

My Grandpa passed away on August 10th,2015. I was very close to him and my Nana who passed away in 2004. I wrote a very long tribute and memories of him that I decided not to share here but just wanted to say he was the best Grandpa ever and I miss him. I'm so glad for the knowledge that one day I will be able to see him again!

Mommy/Son Date

TC and I try to do dates with our kids every month. Last Tuesday Clark and I went to a Mommy/Son Date at Chick fil a and had a lot of fun. We ate dinnner,got some pictures taken with some cool props and costumes, Clark was made a knight by the cow at Chick fil a,and we got ice cream sundaes, saw a magic show and watched some fencing classes. So cute and fun!

Savanna's Fun Late Over

Savanna has been wanting me to have a "late over" with a few of her friends for awhile so I finally said ok. So a couple of weeks ago she had 5 friends over for pizza, making necklaces,watching a movie and playing in their pajamas. They all had a great time!

Clark's First Day of Kindergarten

Wow I am really behind in updating on Clark's first day of kindergaten. His first day was August 4th and he has been loving kindergarten. Still can't believe he's old enough for kindergarten! He is making new friends and having a great time and is doing very well. This last Friday he got to have a Teddy Bear Picnic where he brought a sack lunch, his favorite stuffed animal and a blanket. So fun!!

Baby chicks!

TC and I have always said we're not pet people but TC really wanted to get baby chicks mostly for fresh eggs when they become chickens. I thought about it for a couple of days and decided to try it out. So he brought home 6 baby chicks on Friday he bought from a lady he works with. They are actually super cute and we are enjoying them so far. They are not too much work and the kids are loving holding them. We won't know the gender of the chicks until they're about 2 months and we'll have to sell or give away the male ones because we are not allowed to have roosters in our city because they are too noisy. It'll be fun to see how many are girls and how many are boys. TC will also have to build or buy a chicken coop. We can put them in a coop when they're about 2 months old. Should be a fun adventure!!
