Back to School

She said she couldn't smile because of the sun in her eyes, so this is the best we could do for a smile. Let alone it was taking up too much time and we could be on our way to school. Geez Mom!
Today Kimberlen went to First Grade! She was so excited to get to go to school all day long. It started last night with her being worried that she was not going to get 12 hours of sleep if she had to get up at 7 and it was 8 when she went to bed. Of course it all worked out just fine. She was quite the chatter box while we were trying to get her ready, I think it was the anticipation. I finally had to tell her that if she didn't stop talking and asking so many questions she would never be able to finish her cereal and would be late for school. That shut her right up. While we were doing hair and the rest of the morning she kept singing "Today is my first day of first grade" it was too cute.

This is her teacher in the background talking to one another mom. And Kimberlen doing her usual thing and watching other people instead of paying attention to the task at hand.

Water Time

Here we are at the Oquirrh Park Aquatic Center in Kearns. This is right next to the Olympic Skate Oval. We only went for a couple hours but had a very fun time. If you have never been here, you must go. It was a lot of fun and we will definitely be going again. We went with Karri and her boys Taylor and Connor. Kimberlen gets along with them really well and Maycee just adores them.

Just THREE Years!

Yes I can't believe it, three years ago today Eric and I said "I DO". Wow to think all we have and have not done since then. He was saying this morning that he could of sworn that it was four years. I does seem that we have been together forever. I guess since we have so many similarities it just turns out that way. Some of those are.....1. The same Zodiac sign, we are both Aquarius with our Birthdays just 2 days apart, Feb 5th and 7th. 2. Our Social Security Numbers are only different by the third and last three digits. 3. We have both stayed true to our BFF'S that we have both had since the First Grade. 4. We have both had our Left feet operated on. 5. Our middle names come from our Great Grandparents. 6. We would like to say we are both baseball/softball pros (actually we just both played in High School). The list could go on and on, but you get the idea Right?

I just want to say how much I love you honey and I am so grateful for everything you do for me and the girls too! I can't wait to see what is to come in the future years! I added our wedding song to my playlist this morning too, Making Memories of Us by Keith Urban and we still stand true to that.

LOVE YOU BABE!

HOME FOR SALE

It's official. We put our home on the market last night. We have a sign in our front yard and everything. So if any one out there knows of someone that would like our home let them know and if you know of a great home you think we might love let me know about it. However it needs to be between South Jordan and Kaysville. I know it's a big area. Hopefully we will have some time to look for one but you never know this place could sell quickly. I will be sad to leave this is such a great neighborhood and the Elem. school is on the top of the list for the district and the back yard is so spacious and nice....I could go on and on I am sure. But it will be nice to have something newer with not so many water leaks! Lol!

Another Leak!

So yesterday afternoon as Kimberlen and I were doing laundry down stairs I noticed that the carpet in the corner felt wet and I could hear water running. When Eric got home we decided that it was our main waterline from the street to our house that was leaking.

Our good friend and plumber BJ stopped by on his way home from work and this is what we ended up with. A BIG MESS! He did a great job as to not be too messy but what can you expect with dirt and water.
The hole they dug ended up being 3-4 feet deep and all muddy. They were out there until 9 o'clock fixing the leak. I did make him a steak dinner, but nothing can repay him for all the work he did to save us from a bigger disaster.
And yes this is not the first time this has leaked. Last time we were out of town and we had to tear out the carpet and part of the wall and repaint and the whole nine yards. At least this time we caught it early. Now we just need to fill the hole back in with dirt.

School Shopping

We decided to go school shopping for Kimberlen at the South Town Mall and this was the highlight of the trip. My Mom, Desiree' and Hudson came out to go shopping with us for a new First Grade Wardrobe. Yes Kimberlen is going to First Grade this year and I can't wait. Now I know how my mom felt when we would bug her all summer long. You would have thought that summer vacation lasted 3 years at our house and she is ready to go back. I am ready for her to go all day and gain her independence. But still, the Carousel took the cake. Maycee was too cute on it, I could hear her yelling on the other side as I waited to take her picture. And then Kimberlen took pictures of the babies in their strollers which turned out pretty cute.

We had quite the day of shopping and by the end my Mom was MAXXXED out. It wasn't Hudson's best day so he was being a monster!

BBQ

Last night we went to some friends of my Mom and Dad's, Larry and Joyce. They live clear down in Syracuse almost to the Lake. We had a nice dutch oven dinner and lots of laughs. Desiree' brought her bounce house for the kids and Maycee loved it. Also, the highlight of the night was the sandbox for the kids. Needless to say they were dirty and tired by the time we left. Thanks for the fun!

Ummmm Cheerios

Look I can do it all by myself....well sort of. This is her best attempt at eating her breakfast by herself. It is still kind of hard for her to get the Cheerios to stay on the spoon. It sure is a lot slipperier than other foods.







I just love the milk on her forehead and running down her chin. Oh, and the stream pouring out of the bowl as she tips it! Gotta luv it when they try.

Don't eat the CHALK

I hope chalk doesn't hurt, because Maycee ate her fair share. I guess this is what happens when the girls are out with Dad while he washes his truck and I am in making dinner!!
