What Were We Thinking?

I guess we were thinking how much we love our little monsters and how much they really love the dirt! We spent the day working in the yard and built the kids a sand box, YEAH! For those of you who know this little town it is famous for its red dirt. Red dirt that stains everything and never ever comes out again!!!!! I really do love my kids! They had a blast and didn't get out all day. It really is worth it and for the record their clothes did come clean. I just hope they don't ever decide to make it into a swimming pool ( remember Mom?).

First Day of Preschool!

Jackson had his first day of preschool today and he was so excited he couldn't stand it. We went to orientation on Thursday and he got himself dressed, brushed his teeth, combed his hair, put on his helmet, hopped on his bike and said "bye mom I'm going to school!" Hold on buddy I'm coming with you. Today was a little different. When we got to his school and he saw all the other kids there he wasn't quite so sure of himself. He tried to hide and I had to coax him in. It took a little bit to convince him to join the kids. Needless to say Mom left feeling a bit guilty and had to fight the urge to turn around and check on him. A few hours later I went to pick him up and he was all smiles playing with his new friends. I asked him if it was ok if he didn't go to school again because I missed him too much and he said, "Mom I have to go to school because I'm big now!" I guess he has to grow up sometime:(




These are when we first got to school... the teacher even tried coaxing him into it, he just wasn't sure.




These were taken when I came to pick him up. What a change!

Happy Birthday Jackson

I really can't believe he's 4! He is growing up so fast and I don't know if I'm liking that. We had a birthday party for him in Las Vegas at my brother Kyle's house.




The kids had fun swimming and breaking the pinata.



Jackson got a lot of fun presents, thanks everyone!




We really didn't go all out on the cake but he loved it just the same.



Jackson's "now that I'm 4" sayings.....
I'm 4 so I can do everything by myself.
I'm 4 so I'm not afraid of monsters anymore.
I'm 4 so I can't have any kisses anymore ;(
4 year olds don't need to be in a car seat anymore!
Actually I'm 4 so i do know because 4 year olds are smart.

What a fun summer...It can't be over yet!

We have had so much fun this summer and I am really not ready for it to be over. We had several camping trips to Cedar mountain and had a blast. The kids loved fishing and riding 4 wheelers. I think their favorite part was roasting marshmallows. Grandma found a snake and caught it. Kennedy couldn't get enough of it.


He really couldn't hold it anymore so he just dropped his pants right there on the lake!


Lake Powell

We went to Lake Powell for a week and had a blast. We camped at Lone Rock beach with Aaron's family and played our hearts out!
.
We were calling Jackson our little fish because we couldn't keep him out of the water. He loved jumping in off the boat and every little cliff he could find. He wore himself out everyday! He really loved the tube but he didn't want a baby ride he wanted a crazy ride, he kept yelling at Grandpa to flip him off!


Kennedy just loved being on the beach and playing in the sand. She was scared to death of the tube and she really didn't like swimming out in the open water. The second she got on the boat she would fall asleep so we knew what to do when she got grouchy. She is such an easy going girl but she sure is scared of everything.


Grandpa Clark bought this tube and we had so much fun! We even convinced Grandma Clark and her sisters to ride it, that was VERY entertaining!
