Happy Birthday SIS

Ok so it was my sisters birthday on September 13th and she turned 23 and i must say she has still got it! She can still kick that leg way over her head even in killer heels!! LOVE U ATTY!!!

Peach Days

Well I am proud to say that after two years of missing Dave run into the finish line in the peach days 10K this year WE MADE IT!! Wahooo we were able to see Dave run in this year he made it in 51 mins and 46 seconds!! He did AWESOME! I think he was a born runner. He did not train at all for the race he just ran the saturday before and said ok i can do it. He is amazing. This year my parents also ran in it and they did great! I was very impressed! I know that I could never run a 10K because i am weak sauce!

PRESCHOOL

The day has finally come for Jaxton he has waited for what seems like forever to go to preschool. When he was two he kept asking when he could go to preschool like his big sister and i told him then he was three he could go. So the day he turned three he said "ok mom I am three i can go to preschool". Then we had to explain that it preschool starts in September which was a long time. But he survived and he is finally at preschool and he feels like a big kid! He loves it there and has so much to talk about when he comes home. Dave picked him up from preschool on his very first day and took him to get some icecream and now he thinks that is what we do go to prechool and then get icecream.

Swiss Days

It's that time of year when we get our walking shoes on, wake up before the sun and head on up to Midway for Swiss Days. We have been going to Swiss Days for many years and this is the first year that I have woke up at 4:45 a.m. to drive down to my parents then up to Midway. If you ask my husband he would tell you that I am crazy but he just does not know how much fun we have. The pictures says it all. There were a lot of great booths with wonderful crafts and of course the scones. I would just go for the scones and the jam it is amazing! We had a blast and the best part was we did not buy to much just the usual wrapping paper!

First Day of School

The always great first day of school Picture

Waiting for the bus

Still waiting for the bus

All aboard

Here is Maddison on the bus she is the one hiding from her mom who is totally embarrassing her by taking a ton of pictures

Getting off the bus heading to the classroom.

I was planning on taking Maddison for her first day but when she found out her friends were riding the bus it was all over she wanted to ride the bus so when her dad got home we drove her to the bus stop and then she got on the bus and Dave and i headed to the school so we could walk her to her class. She got off the bus and I went to take her hand so we could walk her to her class and she told me to get away, don't hold her hand she was going to class by herself. Well she sure let me have it and she was off. I blinked and she was in her class backpack was on the chair and she was on the carpet. I was brave until I walk outside and then I started to cry. It is a huge day when your five year old is little miss independent and whats nothing to do with you. I thought that was going to be in the teenage years. It just happened a little to soon. Overall it was a great first day for Maddison and starting this huge new step.... Kindergarten!

What does my dad do?

Last Saturday ATK had a family day where you could go and see a few areas on plant. So we loaded up the car and went out to Daves work to see what he does. We were able to see a moon rock, some rocks that had been turned into glass after a static test, a rocket booster that is going to be tested sometime in September, and we saw the control center where they hang out during a static test. I am not sure who was more excited the kids or Dave to see the behind the scenes he was like a little kid in a candy store. It was a great day and fun to see what they do at Dads work!

Just keep Swimming......

Its that time of year again where we lather up and send the kids of to swim lessons. Day one had me a little worried Jaxton refused to get into the pool and would have nothing to do with going to his class so the next day we did a little bribing. Yes I know it is not the best thing to do but when you are desperate hey then it does not seem so bad. So a Perry Ice and to build a fort over his bed was the deal and needless to say it worked. Day two he jummped right in and from then on he was a fish. Maddison did great too and it took her a few times before she would put her face into the water but after swimming at the Lindon Pool with grandma the next week at swim lessons she was under the water swimming like a fish! They did great this year at the Brigham pool.
