Sweet Bo

Bo is just about the sweetest thing ever.  He is growing up so quickly.

Kindergarten!

I just can't believe it.  It has begun and it will not stop from here on out.  SCHOOL!  Kya has been waiting to go to the "big school" for a really long time!  She is in half day morning kindergarten, and she loves it!

What Did We Do This Summer?

Well I wish we had more pictures to show for our summer but this is pretty much what we did a few days a week.  And yes Bo would fall asleep inside the pool 80% of the time.  The kids are to the point that the can SWIM and I am so proud of them.  They love jumping off the diving board, swimming across the pool, and pretty much anything else!

Sea World

Baden is such a sweetheart, he really loves dressed up characters he ran right up to the otter and gave him a huge hug and then just kept hugging him again and again.  

The shows are amazing that they are able to train such big creatures!  The whales were awesome.

About half way through the day we ran into the Fullmers, it was really fun to bump into them.  While we were chatting with them a little boy ran up from far away and started to talk to us.  There was no one around and we were concerned that he was lost, he didn't seem to mind.  Then after a while he was off running around again.  It was really strange yet really funny.  Later we did see him running around again, and then spanked a women on the bum, she had no reaction so we were guessing it was his mom.

Oh how Kya LOVED the starfish, this was her favorite part we stayed and looked at every single starfish and picked up every one that we could reach, and then some that I almost fell in trying to reach.  Kya would have been happy if we stayed another hour or two just looking at the starfish.  She would have named them all and asked if she could keep them all if we would have stayed any longer.

Since we stayed longer than we had originally thought we were able to catch the Cirque Sol La show.  So glad we did it was pretty amazing.

Lemonade Stand

My kids have been begging for months, yes MONTHS to do a lemonade stand.  I told them that it was too hot and when it cooled down.  Well it was supposed to be "cooler" but it was pretty darn hot out.  But it was too late for backing out; we had made the signs and made the lemonade and muffins so we set out every thing to have the best (and cutest) lemonade stand.  And let me tell you we didn't just make koolaid, this was legit, fresh squeezed and real strawberries.  We even put the muffins in paper bags with a "Thank you so much" card stapled to it.  I will admit I did do most of the work but the kids had fun, and helped a bit.  We stayed about an hour and sold out so I would say we did pretty good.  Maybe next time we will find some shade.

About 10 minutes in Baden said, "I'm done with this!"  He spent most of his time in the shade drinking lemonade but Kya was having fun jumping up and down waving at people as they drove by yelling, "Lemonade stand, lemonade stand!"  She is so very cute!

Girls Camp 2012

Here are a few gems from camp.  I had a ton of fun with all of the girls and I'm so sad to have been released from my YW calling.  There was lots of laughing and highs.  I love each one of the YW.  One of the nights this was built, it was pretty awesome.  

One of the nights this is how we went to dinner.  The leaders and first years got makeovers, I think we all look amazing!

Preston did great with the kids yet Bo didn't eat well and had a hard time while I was gone.  Poor guy was a bit dehydrated after 4 days.  There are just some things that a man can't do!
