Off to the Theater

Rickie bought everyone tickets to go see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Hale Theater. It was amazing! Funny, moving, interesting, and of course, incredible acting and singing...just the perfect Saturday activity to do together..Nothing beats professional theater - it's magic

Feeding the Ducks

Most of my favorite pictures are of these two together.

I hope they always stay this close to each other.

My Baby Starts Kindergarten

Saying goodbye to Grandma

Feeling spiffy in his new army backpack

Just had to check if the sink "worked for real"...Asher was so excitedto start school! He needed time to adjust...couldn't handle me leaving for a couple days...and then He needed me for about an hour the next couple of days...until he was finally ok to have me give him a hug goodbye at his desk each day. He is thriving at school. I love to see him come out of his shell and make so many friends. He is a good, obedient student, who likes to follow the rules but have a good, silly time doing it :)

Keely Starts 3rd Grade

Keely had the most amazing teacher this year - I was

so excited - her little class also had the cutest, nicest kids..

best year ever until we had to move :(

Keely was so fed up with the boring uniforms that she didn't

want to get a matching backpack and luchbox this year - her only allowed form

of expression :)

New Bikes

The kids are getting so big that they both needed new

bikes this year

I think they rode them almost everyday until we left Utah

Best Summer Ever!

I just spent an hour writing up this post and then it deleted itself for no reason...I will write again later...

BATTLE WOUND

OK, battle wound might be stretching it a bit....but it is the first injury I have had to take one of my kids to the ER for. He and his best bud Caleb decided it would be a brilliant idea to climb up the oversized shelves in their neighbors closet during playgroup...well, the top shelf decided to fight back when pulled on and came crashing down, landing it's corner right on Asher's head..luckily his hat softened the blow and the cut didn't go deeper than the soft tissue :)

once we were actually in the hospital he was very brave and didn't cry once while his nurse injected 10 min. worth of litocain into the cut and gave him 5 staples (which he thought was awesome cause he is 5!), afterward I bought him lunch in the cafeteria while we waited for Justin to pick us up...quite the eventful day and probably a permanent scar to remember it by :)
