Beautiful Fall Day at the Park, and others!

The last couple of weeks have been so nice, that Ali and Emily want to live at the park. Everyday when we pick Lex up from the bus stop we have to stop at the park and play.

The fire pole is Ali's favorite this week.

Ali and one of her best buds Lex. Lex is a boy that I babysit.

Ali is getting pretty good at her bike. She has finally figured out how to do the brakes and make herself stop. For the longest time she would just put her feet on the ground and slide to a stop. It should be interesting when we try and remove the training wheels.

Ali all ready for school today, but school was cancelled because the teachers little girl was sick.

Ali at the Gateway the other night. She loved the fog that came out of the fountain.

Emily thought that I was so rude because I would not let her out of the stroller.

Emily screaming for her food. The poor girl loves to eat, and she thinks that she has to feed herself now all the time. It gets pretty messy around meal time.

The Fire Station

Today Ali's preschool class went to our neighborhood fire station. The girls thought that it was absolutely fabulous.

Emily thought it was great getting to run around the fire station.

Ali's whole class, she is really distressed some days that there are only two girls in her class.

Emily thought that the lights on the Fire Engine were awesome.

Emily loves the Olive Garden

Over the weekend we went to The Olive Garden. We had now idea that Emily would love it as much as she did. We were amazed because she kept shoveling in the salad,

and the alfredo,

and gave us crusty's when we would distract her from eating.

Crazy Tink!

Tinkerbell is so funny lately, she will go outside and lay on top of the doghouse and sun bathe. It is so funny because we can totally see her through the living room window. The girls love to watch her outside, and laugh at her.

Emily's Favorite Hiding Spots

Lately Emily loves to hide in crazy places. Here are a couple of her favorites.

Yes, this is the fridge. She manages to open it and stand on the inside of the fridge and close the door on her. When I tell her to get out she just stares at me with her huge puppy dog eyes.

My attempt at being crafty!

So, my new favorite store is Heartland Paper in Bountiful. I was in there a couple weeks ago, yes it is few and far between that I get to go into stores like this, but I told Matt that I was going once a month by myself to enjoy it. Anyway, they had this cute idea for a chore chart, or whatever you want to call it. The lady in the store said that she would put one together for me. I said great and ordered it on up. When I got there to pick it up it was in a thousand pieces. I had to put the whole thing together, and now here we are three weeks later and it is done.

Random Pictures

Ali ready to go to school last Thursday.

Emily is always playing on the stairs. She likes to stand by the railing and look through the bars. This picture cracks me up because it looks like she has a mop of hair on her head.

Ali and I at Lagoon.

Matt and our friend Mike on the Music Express, I love it because you can't even see that the two girls Ali and Kira are in the seat next to them. They look a little special.

Kangaroo Zoo!

This morning we went to the Kangaroo Zoo with Ian and Cailin. They are kids that I babysit. Ali and Ian had so much fun running around, they were both dripping wet with sweat by the time that we left. It was so nice because it wore Ali out so bad, she was just fine about leaving.

Emiy would climb up the slide, and then go down backwards on her stomach every time.

Emily had a hard time keeping her balance in the bounce houses. She had a blast, she would fall down on her face and then get back up laughing and go fall again.

Random Pictures from the last couple of Weeks!

Emily playing in our new backyard for the first time after we got the grass down. We are using a tarp as a makeshift cement pad. Hopefully that will be done next weekend.

Playing peek-a-boo in the dog house.

Emily loves to play with the strainer. She likes to wear it as a hat.

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.
