Circus fun!!

We have some awesome friends that gave us tickets to go to the circus. Jackson and Blake really loved it.

The boys now only want to play that they are in the circus.

Blake's first day of preschool

Blake is so excited to be in school again. He really loves all the friends he has in his class.

Firehouse visit

State Fair

We went to the State Fair last week. We had a lot of fun. The pictures are all out of order but I don't care enough to fix them. My brother Wayne came with us. We were watching a comedic juggler and he came out in the audience and picked Wayne to come up and help him. It was pretty funny.
The juggler also picked Blake to help him. He kept dropping his pins and telling Blake to pick them up.

There was a very cute children's section. It taught the kids about farming and how things make it to the store. Here are some random pictures from that. Hayden collecting eggs.

Blake and his friend Bradlee shearing a sheep.

Hayden picking some vegtables.

Blake planting seeds.

The little tractor bike was stinkin' cute.

Blake picking some fruit.

Blake and Bradlee-best of buddies.

Hayden kept saying that this was his tractor.

Hayden loved the goats.

1st Grade

Jackson is now in 1st grade. We were very ready for the school year to begin. I was more nervous this year than I was last year. Jackson loves his teacher and going to school all day.

The boys were hugging each other all morning. Blake and Hayden do miss Jackson. They get very excited when he gets off the bus everyday.

Jackson and a few of his best friends.

Church History Museum

We took the kids to the Church History Museum. They really enjoyed seeing all the things from pioneer times. They especially loved the children's section of the museum.

Summer 2011

I have been horrible at taking pictures this summer. I either have forgot to bring my camera or brought my camera but was too busy wrangling kids to take pictures. We had a fun summer but are ready for school to start. Jackson will start 1st grade and Blake will be in preschool. That will leave 4 hours for Hayden and me to bond. It will be great to go grocery shopping with only one child. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it! Here are a few pictures at This is the Place. The boys had a blast.

Last day of Kindergarten

Jackson had a little year-end program for his last day in Kindergarten. I can't believe how big he is getting.

Fun at the zoo

We went to the opening day of the dinosaurs at the zoo. There was lots of fun stuff to do. Jackson is working hard at the dinosaur dig.

The zoo had a dinosaur puppet. The boys thought it was really cool until it's nose touched Hayden on the nose. He freaked out and Chris had to hold him until the show was over.

We had to take the classic Hogle Zoo pictures.

The boys had a lot of fun looking at all the dinosaurs.

They ask every day if they can go see them again.

Red Butte Garden

We went to Red Butte Garden for Arbor day. The kids had tons of fun. We would have stayed all day if I was prepared with lunch. Here are just a bunch of random pictures.
