Preschool

Today was Adelyn's first day of preschool. She loved it! I open her car door and she runs right in. So much for tears. She has been waiting for this moment all summer long. I hope her excitement to learns lasts throughout her life.

Random Folk Family Pictures

The other day I went through the pictures on my moms camera. Some of pictures made me laugh, and I had to post a few for memories sake.

The following pictures are taken in Rexburg, at Lindsay and Devin's apartment. We all met there after Lindsay got in her car accident.

The next set of pictures are from Katie and Alex's apartment in Logan. The girls had fun swimming in the pool.

Back in Salt Lake, my mom took a pictures of Adelyn in front of the temple. I though it was cute.

And this next picture made me laugh. My mom and Lindsay stayed at my house and babysat my kids while Scott and I were able to go celebrate his graduation. Everyone is sitting in front of a movie with popcorn. Gotta love it!

Four

I can't believe my little girl just turned four! We were in Washington during her birthday, so she got to celebrate it twice. On the day of her birthday, she woke up and promptly asked me what she gets to do now that she is four. I guess I look a little puzzled and she continued to ask if she gets a new primary class, and if she can now go under the water by herself. Such a big girl. We love her to pieces.

Riding the Horses

One of Adelyn's favorite things to do while at Nana's is to ride the horse. She likes to help groom, feed, lead, walk, and trot the horse. She got pretty good at getting the horse to speed up, slow down, and turn. It was pretty cute.

Fun in Washington

While in Washington, we got to do a lot of fun things. The girls had a blast playing in the new playhouse, jumping on the trampoline, going jeeping with poppi, playing with the dogs, making a mess out of sand, walking up the creek, swinging on the swings, and having campfires on the deck. We miss it already.

Swinging, screaming "this is the best day ever!" (from the movie Tangled)

 

In Nana's Garden...

In Nana's garden, you will find...
...dirty little girls sprouting amongst the vegetables... raspberries... blueberries...and some anxious girls who love to eat fresh berries and peas right out of the bucket.

 

Time with Aunt Kayla

Adelyn got to spend some time doing special activities with Aunt Kayla. They got to go to the dollar movie and see Charlotte's Web, paint nails, and play dress up.

 

Adelyn loves her Auntie Kayla! Thanks for the fun!

Lost Lake

While in Washington there were only a handful of nice days. On one of those days my parents and I packed up the girls and took a hike to Lost Lake. This is one of my favorite places on earth. We used to hike in and camp there often while growing up. We hardly ever saw another soul and would play to our hearts content making rafts from drift wood, going on hikes, exploring the woods, and eating lots of great (camping) food. I love the seclusion and peace there. It is beautiful. Ahhh.

Not always happy... I thought it was funny

On the way back to the car we took a short detour to Quinn Lake. Although we never camp at this lake, I love it because of the color of the water. This picture does not really do it justice.

 

Quinn Lake

There is some beautiful places in Washington (that you would never see in the Utah desert). I miss it.
