Kindergarten

So, the time finally came in my life for me to send my firstborn to Kindergarten. I was having mixed emotions about it, but I was actually really excited for Taylor. She couldn't wait to start. So, on Wed, we walked her to school and to her classroom. We had already met her teacher, so she was ready! I was doing fine until she gave me a big hug and told me she loved me. The tears came and I got out of there fast,so she wouldn't see me. When I came out of the classroom, a few of my friends from the neighborhood were there too and I got a hug. Some of them were crying too, so we all felt better. I cried the whole way home (5 minute walk) and then for about an hour and I was fine. I can see her playground from our back window, so I try to sneak a peak at her at recess. She loves her teacher and class, I just can't believe that she is there!! These are some pics of her first day, Ellie starts preschool next week, so I will be sure to let you know how that goes. She is really excited too, she wears her backpack when we walk Taylor to school, so cute!! On a side note, I just wanted to let my Grandpa George know that I ran at least 10 miles last night. A friend and I are training for a half marathon, which I am pretty sure I will do. Anyway, I am pretty sore today, but glad I did it. Enjoy the pictures.

Noah

Since he was left out of the last two posts I wanted to put some cute pics of just Noah. He is sick today, well he has been sick for a while and now he has a fever, so I am taking him to the doctor. I hope he feels better soon! He is doing some funny things lately, like standing up in the middle of the room. He doesn't pull himself up on furniture, he just stands up by himself. He can't stand for very long, but he thinks it is so funny. He also has started eating everything, he really won't eat baby food any more. Enjoy some pics of the cutest little baby boy around!

Utah County Fair

Even though the fair last year was really awful, we decided to go again this year. I have to say it was much more enjoyable this time. Mostly because it wasn't 100 degrees and I wasn't 100 months pregnant. The kids loved the animals and the tractors. We had so much fun, and the best part was, everything was free!! And it is only 5 minutes from the house so when the kids were done, we were home quickly! Maybe we will make it a tradition to go every year.

Fairies

I will be playing catch up on my posts because our computer is dying. I finally decided to use the laptop to update. So here is what we have been up to in the last week. Sorry for all the pictures!
Last Saturday Taylor went to a fairy birthday party and came home with a whole fairy outfit. Her friend McKenna has an amazing mom that made one outfit for all of the girls! Our girls have loved it and take turns wearing the fairy wings. SO CUTE!

Camera phone

So, I bet your wondering why I didn't post any pictures from our Vegas trip, okay maybe your not, well, it is because I forgot my camera! Yes, I forgot to pack the camera, bummer, but, Justin's camera phone caught a little bit of the action.
Awww, this is Justin and I in front of the Belagio hotel's fountain show, very romantic, right?

Justin in front of a crocodile at the rainbow cafe. It was the last day and we were just wasting time in the hotel.

Me pretending to eat the cornish game hen that came with our dinner at the tournament of kings show. They don't give you any utensils!

Me and my fruity drink by one of the pools at our hotel. I still didn't get a tan!

Justin in front of the strip, this was the walk way from our hotel to the New York, New York.

Rub a dub dub

Cutest kids in the tub! This morning Noah looked so cute during his bath that I had to take some pictures. I can't believe how grown up he is getting. He loves his bath, his favorite thing is to get me as wet as he can.



So, your probably wondering what this photo is in here for. I just wanted to mention my new hobby. Getting food for really cheap or free. I used to think the fact that I watched Ghost Hunters was the nerdiest thing about me, but I think couponing comes in pretty close. A while ago I started getting a newspaper and printing coupons online and stuff, well I have gotten pretty darn good at it, if I do say so myself. I really wanted to do it so I could bulk up our food storage a little. So most of the stuff in the picture I got for under a dollar each. A lot of it I got for free. You can't beat free. My freezer is packed full of good deals too, we are going to buy another one so we can fit everything. Sadly, it gives me a little high to go to the store and see how much I can save.

Here is my little Jos, who hates having her picture taken. She jumped in the bath with Noah this morning and wouldn't let me take a decent picture of her, oh well. She is still a cutie pie!
