Ali's First day of Preschool and Dance

Ali would call Thursday a "Big Day." She had her first day of Preschool and Dance. Preschool was a little bit challenging. She was so excited to go. We walked down to her teachers house and her and her friend Kaysha rode their bikes. We got there and all was well, then about an hour and a half into class the teacher calls me at home and tells me that Ali is having a hard time. When Ali gets on the phone she says to me that she thought I was going to be there and she started to ball. Needless to say, I was ready to go and pick her up, but the teacher told me to leave her there to stick it out or the next time would be just as bad. So when I got there to pick her up she told me that she was okay because Kaysha held her hand.


Ali is very proud of her Princess backpack.

"Give Me A Bite"

This is Emily's new funny face that she makes when she is eating and wants a bite of something. We bust up laughing every time she does it because she is so serious about it and continues to keep doing it. Hopefully it lasts, and is not just a phase because we love it.

This is Emily finally mad at me because I was not feeding her, I just kept taking pictures of her.

Our So-Called Vacation!

We were supposed to be in St. George last week, but we decided to stay home and go boating, swimming, and work on our yard. We had lots of fun, not much rest and now crabby kids.

Emily loves it when Ali blows bubbles in her face.

Matt Wakeboarding for the first time this year. Better late than never I guess.


It took Emily awhile to get used to the water. We would put her back in the boat and she would just freak out to get down. So we let her cry it out this time, and then she had a blast. It is sad that the water is not as warm anymore.

More Good Times Boating

We got to go boating again last Monday and Tuesday, it was such a great time. The weather was perfect, and so were the girls. It is so nice that they just sleep the whole time we are gone. When Ali wakes up and we are loading the boat up to go home she always says "Nan's I had the best time boating with you today." Even though all she did was sleep.

Picture day a Bust!

We took all the girls to Target to attempt getting their pictures taken together. Ali, Abby and Kate all did great, but Emily and Ellie thought that it was terrifying. They would just scream when we tried to put them in the room to get a picture with them all.

So here are some pictures of Emily with Ali once we got her home and calmed down.

Pool Party!

Ali had so much fun swimming with the girls at the pool, Kate was a little jumping maniac, they would jump over, and over, and over.




This picture cracks me up, it so looks like Abby is going under, but she is just swimming over to the steps.

Fun at Lagoon with the Heieie's

Last week we had so much fun with Kelly, Ryan, Abby, Kate, Danielle and Ellie. We got to do lots of fun things, one of the highligts was going to Lagoon. The girls go on the water slides over and over, I think they could really be fine doing it all day.






Rattlesnake Rapids was a total hit. All of the girls loved it, and we got drenched.






Emily is a maniac at Lagoon a Beach, she loves to go down the waterslides with us.
