Where does the time go?

I cannot believe September is almost over. Today is the first day of Fall- hooray! I LOVE summer, but I love how the leaves change colors in the fall and the days are a little cooler. Last week we had our very first show and tell at the preschool. The kids loved it! Kadee decided to take a Willow Tree Angel that her grandma Debbie got her for her birthday and Connor decided to take a Lego house he built and his Optimus Prime Transformer that he built the house for. They had so much fun showing off their special things and seem to really enjoy being in mommy's preschool. Connor refused to let me take his picture with his show and tell, so all I got was a picture of Kadee. I swear I tried! Kadee loves dance and was even making up a dance in the grocery store the other day. Connor loves tumbling, he is awesome at doing flips off the balance beams.














This weekend I had a Remicade and doctor's appt. so the kids and I met my grandparents in Provo and spent the weekend at their house. My grandparents are such amazing people. They meet me every eight weeks in Provo and entertain my kids for atleast 2 hours while I receive my treatment. They usually take them to lunch or to the store or play with them in the parking lot. I just really appreciate that they are willing to help me out like that. After my remicade I am super tired, so we went back to my grandparents house and I took a nap while the kids played with grandma. They love to get out grandma's toys and use their imagination. We then went to dinner at my Uncle DR's house and the kids jumped on the tramp with their dog, Duke (yes, they have taught their dog to jump on the tramp)! The next day we met my brother's for lunch, went shopping, and then went to an old West park that my friend Heather found a couple months ago. For those of you who live in Price, it is a lot like the Dino Mine Adventure Park but bigger and a lot busier! The kids loved playing on the train, in the stables, and going down the big slides. My grandparents then took us to dinner at IHOP.

Sunday we headed home to see Rory's elk!!! We are so excited for him! He has been putting in for this hunt for 14 years (or something like that). He got to go hunting with his dad and brothers and had a really good time. He only has 5 weeks left of the POST academy, we are counting down! Congrats on your bull babe, we are so proud of you!

Our First Day of School

So Tuesday, Sept. 1 Connor, Kadee, and I started preschool! I started teaching for the first time and Connor and Kadee started their school year. Kadee is in my morning class and has done really well. She has a friend, Sally, and loves to work on our "projects." Connor likes it to, but he is much more social. His cousin Cole is in my afternoon class and those two can get pretty wild! But in all honesty they have been totally great. I couldn't ask for a better group of kids to have for my first year. Our first week we learned all about the letter A, the number 1, and our theme was All About Me. The kids are such great examples of how to live life. They are almost always happy and excited to be there. I'm sure I will have many challenges this first year, but so far I am enjoying the ride!
