Fun Friday Field Trip #1

 In the efforts of not going crazy living in this small town, I set up some Fun Friday Field Trips with the other moms with little ones still at home. This field trip we went to the castle park, then Barnes and Noble for story time, then Olive Garden for lunch. We had a great time!

Semi-pro Photographer

 They love playing with my camera. These are some of the shots I found on my memory card. Funny kids! Then, they broke my camera...so there will be no more of these photos to be seen (unless they steal my camera).

Mess Maker and Happy Helper

 Guess who is who?

My Crazy Baby

 Just waiting for Kendall to get out of dance class and Keaters just can't sit still and sit quietly in his car seat...so, let's just climb on the dashboard. This kid is hilarious!

New Outdoor Play Structures

 Daddy bought the kids these fabulous (used) structures for our backyard. They absolutely love them...especially Keaton. I'm just not sure he knows how unstable he is on them! Hours 'o fun!

Kaden's Little Preschool

 Every time I drop Kendall off for preschool, Kaden always asks to go to his 'little preschool'. The elementary school has a free preschool program for kids ages 0-5 funded by the Tobacco taxes. I don't love going but Kaden does so we go occasionally. 

Little Boy's Manhood Surgery

 These sweet little boys both underwent surgery on the same day to fix the same thing. For some crazy reason, they both had skin bridges on their 'peanuts' (as Kaden calls it) from their circumcisions. I have been worried about Kaden's since birth, but all 3 pediatrician told me not to worry about it that over time, it would just become detached.. From my view, that skin looked a little too thick to just come apart. Then Keaton came along and had the same thing, so I ask for a referral to a pediatric surgeon in Sacramento to check it out. Sure enough...he said to do it ad that there was no way it would undue itself.

So...we did it and there is no sign that there was anything wrong with them to begin with!

As a mother, wasn't it my responsibility? LOL!

100 Dresses Activity

 So, one of the many reasons I've been so busy lately is because of my calling at church. I have been the 2nd counselor in our Relief Society Presidency for the past 18 months. The requires me to plan lots of fun activities. This most recent one we did with 2 other wards in our area. I wish I took more pictures but this is all I got. The evening consisted of dinner, collecting donated dresses, a synopsis of the book written by Elenore Estes. Then, we concluded the evening with a fabulous fashion show (put on by our YW) through the decades, dessert, and a little video of a used dress that got to the hands of a little girl in Africa.

It was a fabulous entertaining evening!

First day of preschool

 Kendall loved her preschool and loves her teacher. For her first year, I decided to split the 2-days with my friend, Tara and her daughter, Ava. I don't think Kendall need to go to preschool, it's just a little something for her to do that she loves. So, she goes on Monday's from 8:30-12:30. Her teacher, April, is super awesome!

Her very first day
