This ones for you Ryon!

When I was a little girl my brother Ryon would pull me around our house in a pillowcase. So yesterday when Preston was pushing Addie around in her walker, I couldn't help but think of Ryon. No, it isn't a pillowcase, lets just call this the new and improved version of a pillowcase!  Preston told me he was very "careful" when he was pushing her and "He didn't even go very fast!" Brotherly love!! 

Ward Party at the Pool

I bet it has been 10 years since I had been to the City Pool, and it was just like I remembered. When I walked in the building Stephanie was by me and we commented the smell is  even still the same!  The kids had a great time and so did we, ward parties are always great! There is always good food and good friends to visit with, Good Times!

Landon loved jumping off the diving board! 

Here is Preston coming out of the Hydro Tube. He liked it, but he told me the water was a little chilly! Although it didn't keep him from going down it with who ever he could convince to take him, Jacob,Kallan, Gavin....anyone!

Here comes the flying Squirrel! 

Addie eats Rice Cereal

Addie had her first meal the other day and she sort of liked it! I don't know if I would really love rice cereal either. It isn't that great. When she got it in her mouth her tongue didn't know what to do with it so most of it came back out! Now  that she has been eating it for about a week and she is getting a lot better at swallowing. It is helping her sleep a little better at night. 

Quick note: I know you all are loving her Cubs bib...it is in honor of her Dad who is taking the pictures! You gotta love them Cubs!! 

Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Last week we had a Birthday party for Grandpa Connie. He turned 81! We went to Dad and Mom's house and had a BBQ . It was fun and I really think Grandpa enjoyed being with all his Grandkids. 

Here is a few things about my Grandpa:

1. He is an expert when it comes to horses. He has Bred them, raised them, trained them and enjoyed them much of his 81 years.

2. He loves my Grandma a lot, and takes care of her daily. A few weeks ago when we went to their house to see them, he was getting her dinner and making sure she took her medication. It just showed me how much her really does love her. 

3. He was recently inducted into the Utah Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. I thought that was pretty cool!

4. He calls his Sister every morning at 7:00 to check on her. 

5. He enjoys and loves my children. I really see his eyes light up when we stop by his home. He likes to know what they have been doing and how Santa Clara is. 

I love my Grandpa and am thankful for his hard work and dedication to his Family. 

Addie's 3 Month Pictures

I just looked at The Sweet Life blog and Bradi has posted a few of Addie's 3 month pictures. I have to say Katie and Bradi did an awesome job. I love all of the pictures but this one is my favorite. It is totally Addie from the way she holds her mouth to her little fingers! If you want to see more click here The Sweet Life Photography.  I have to brag a little... don't you think my daughter is the cutest thing!!! Well if you don't, I sure do!  ;o)  

 We went to her 4 month doctors appointment yesterday, she weights in at a whopping 12 lbs 10 oz and is 24 inches long. She had to have shots too. Today she has had a little fever, but she is a trooper. She really hasn't even been that whiney about it. I can't believe she is all ready 4 months old. I am going to be posting a few pictures Gavin took of her eating her first bowl of rice cereal, I don't know if she even swallowed any of it! It was pretty funny. Anyway, I love you lots and lots my little Ads! 

First Day of School

Yesterday was the first day of school! Landon got to go to his kindergarten classroom, meet his teacher, find his seat and complete a treasure hunt! He was really excited. Parents were asked to come with their child, so Gavin and I went. Gavin remembered the classrooms from back when he went to elementary school. Landon is really excited for today because he gets to play on the playground and learn!  I am a little nervous, but I know he will do great. 

Preston started preschool on Monday. He loves school. I think he appreciates going to school a little bit more because for 2 long years he has had to sit in the car while we would drop Landon off. He always would want to get out and go so bad. Now that it is finally his turn he is thrilled! 

He came home singing songs and explaining everything he had learned. I am so grateful he loves preschool, lets just hope he likes High School this much :)  

Addie Update

Our little Addie has been accomplishing big things lately. 

She can now roll over from her back to her belly. I took this picture after she had rolled over and fell asleep on Tuesday afternoon. 

Then on Thursday afternoon she decided to start using her toes to suck on! I cracked up, she kept it there for quite awhile. This little girl loves to suck on things, her fingers, thumb, your arm and now her toes! Quite the girl!!
