First Day of 1st Grade

 Ash was not quite ready to give up his summer and head back to school this year.  He is doing a spanish immersion program where half of his day is in spanish only.  I think he was nervous that he wouldn't have the same friends in his class.
 He fell the day before and got a lightening shaped scratch on his nose - he thought that was so cool - I've created a monster fan of Harry Potter.

He had to have a pic of his new lunch box, and a goofy one too (ps we've worked out his outfits, loosening of the tucked in shirt, ankle socks with shorts etc. cute boy)

Fishing the Snake River

 Aaron's annual trip with buddy Nate Warner.

Thanks Nate!!!

Pioneer Day Parade

We had fun at the Ogden Pioneer Days parade.  The kids loved hanging out with cousins. RJ was so excited to see the princesses!  She ran up to her and gave her a huge hug - too cute.

Mutton Bustin'

We've talked about having Ashton do mutton bustin' since he was 2!  Lucky we decided to go for it this year because he was only 1 pound under the limit... he was pretty nervous about the whole thing.  It was really fun to watch even if his ride was a bit short:

Happy 4th of July!

 

We loved the Huntsville parade this morning - it was quaint and the kids got tons of candy!

Family Time

Reagan Janin is 3!

 

 

Our baby girl turned 3! She is such a spit fire, and the spunk in our lives. She bounces and dances everywhere she goes. She loves to boss her brothers and keep everyone on track. She's a little diva, loves pink, puffy dresses and pretties BUT with get down and dirty, wrestle, run with the boys and won't take guff. She is stubborn and knows her mind! She's a total daddy's girl and adores him. She can't get enough of princesses (because Colten tells her she is one every day) and so it was no surprise that she wanted a princess theme for her birthday.

Eating dinner and showing off that she's 3.

Super animated opening presents.








These are the princess barbies Gram got her and of course she loved them!

Enjoying everyone singing and making her wish.

The Bees

We took the kids down to a Bees game in Salt Lake. They were mostly excited about getting popcorn! I loved it though. There is something about baseball that takes me back to childhood. To summers at the park and a family favorite Field of Dreams!

Colten's 4

Our little man turned 4 this year.  Time has gone by so quickly!  He is my joy.  He's always looking out for everyone else.  He wants everyone to be happy.  He loves to tinker and build, and wants to know how everything works in his own quiet way.  He tells his sister and I that we are "pretty princesses" on a daily basis.  His little cheeks glow when he's excited about something.  He has a bit of a stammer when he's trying to tell a story that is so cute.  He can't wait to go to preschool and has been practicing his letters.  We love him so much!

 For Colten's 4th birthday he wanted a Dragon and Knight theme - all so he could "kill" a pinata dragon!  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the slaying.  We had cousins over to celebrate with lunch and cake.  Colten was so excited and had so much fun.

For Colten's big suprise we got him a bike with training wheels. His reaction was priceless!
