First day of Preschool.

Tuesday was Hailey's first day of Preschool. Hailey did really good, she walked right in and sat down, she was so excited. Mom, on the another hand, got a little emotional but held it together pretty well. Dylan cried, he really missed his big sister. Today was her second day. She really wanted to take her "Bunny Bear" to school with her but I told her he needed to stay here with mom and I would babysit him. Her reply was," Mom, he really likes to play with the blocks but he may need some help, and he also really loves puzzles". She is so much like her mom it cracks me up.

Dylan was so bored without her. When her carpool pulled into the driveway to bring her home he was screaming with excitement. He couldn't wait to get out the door to greet her.

Taken one last hit off her "Bunny Bear" before she had to go.

Reunion time

Here are some pictures that I took while at a reunion in Preston, Idaho.

For my Birthday this year my husband bought me a DSLR camera. So, I have been practicing alot this month. Here is some pictures of our second camping trip this year.

Dylan just chillin out.

Hailey was so excited that she an Grandpa had caught a fish until it came out of the water. When it came out of the water it was of course flapping all around, like fish out of water do, and Hailey freaked out and didn't want anything to do with it after that.

Camping...Camping...Camping

This is a few pictures of our camping trip in July, yes I said July, sorry it has taken me a while to get to these pictures. I love camping. Okay, maybe not love, but I really do enjoy it as long as there are warm showers and running toilets. When I was younger my family went camping every summer for a week. So, I decided it was time for the kids to have the whole camping experience. My parents have a trailer so we went with them, but just my luck the kids wanted to sleep in the tent (of course !!). We stayed at this campground near Echo Reservoir in Coleville. This place is a pretty nice campground, it has all the requirements and then some. I think the kids loved the fishing pond more than anything. It was the highlight of the day when they got to go fishing with Grandpa. Here are just a few pictures.


A true girl can't forget her purse, especially when you go fishing.

Hailey and Dylan loved finding rocks and throwing them in the lake. Every night @ 8pm this guy would bring some fish food and the kids got to throw in some fish food and watch the fish go crazy.

Dylan really enjoying the whole camping experience.

Darren doing a little fishing. He looks like a natural.

Grandma W. would be so proud !

It's no secret that I love to make bread, we'll it looks like someone else does to. My kids just love to help, maybe a little too much sometimes. Dylan not only likes to roll the dough but he really loves the raw dough (Yuck !)
