Friday morning...

Ashlyn woke up and said she had a loose tooth!  Sure enough it was wiggly!  I figured it would be awhile before it fell out.  The boy's always took awhile.  Saturday morning Ashlyn wanted a nectarine so she went on her way eating it.  We were having a yard sale that morning so Chaz and I were in and out of the house.  She comes back a few minutes later and says to me, "Mom, I knew I shouldn't eat on this side of my mouth!  I took a bite and now my tooth is really loose!"  So I took a look at it and it was pretty loose!  So she went back to eating her nectarine.  And I went back to yard sale-ing.  She comes running out a few minutes later..."MOM! I took another bite and it was almost out so I yanked it out!"  LOL!  It was too funny! I told her, "You are so brave! I can't believe you pulled that out!"  She was so happy! And so excited the tooth fairy would finally be coming to visit her!

End of Summer Primary Activity...

I completely forgot to blog about this...
Our ward had a Primary Get Wet Activity for the end of the summer.  The kids had a lot of fun! They had water balloon fights, sponge relays and water gun games.

But the most exciting part of the day...they brought in a Fire Truck!  The kids LOVED it!  They sprayed the kids down! It was such a blast!

First day of school!

"All right, we're excited! First day of school, and here we go. We're ready to learn to get some knowledge." Marlin ~ Finding Nemo

Yesterday was the first day of school...I was dreading this day all summer! LOL!  I love the break...although I wish the long break was in the fall or spring, when it is cool enough to get out and enjoy yourself without dying of heat exhaustion!  Never the less I love being able to sleep in and not worry about homework and trips to and from school and lunches to be packed and kids to get ready...I like a laid back life! :)

Then school starts and I realize...I really don't like that laid back life. LOL!  I like that we get up early and have some order in the day!I like that the kids our out of the house and not here at home...bored out their minds, mad because he won't play with me and she hit me and she made a mess in my room!  :/

This year was Ashlyn's first year of school! She started Kindergarten and was so excited to go!  It is definitely different having a girl to get ready in the morning! She wants her hair curled and wants to look pretty!  :)

Sage had a hard time today...yesterday we went with Ashlyn to the playground...they all played and had a great time.  Then we went into the classroom for a little bit. I guess Sage thought that was the way every day would go.  So when we just dropped everyone off this morning she was NOT happy that she didn't get to go too.  I'm sure she will get used to it pretty quick though.

Here they are on their first day of school!  Even Sage had her backpacked filled up with all her favorite toys!  One of the parents at school said to me...She's not going to school is she?! I said no...they said Ok! I thought she looked way to small!  The same thing happened when Seth went into Kindergarten with Ashlyn.

Ashlyn has waited so long to get to go to school and see her friend Morgan everyday!
Morgan is in 1st grade. 

All of Seth's friends were so excited to see him!

Bunny ears for everyone!

Sage loves the teeter-totter!

Waiting for her friend...

Ready to go in!

Hugs and Bubbles...



Ashlyn complained of a tummy ache, I think it was just nerves because she stayed the whole time.

Corbin is now on the "Big Kid" side of the school... :O
So he ran off and I didn't get any pics of him with his friends.

Catching up...post 3 of many...

Ooops...I forgot to add in the Movie under the Stars!
On June 19th I took the kids to the Civic Center grounds where all summer they played movies out on a big screen! It was good fun! The movie was Horton Hears a Who!
Before the movie they had activities and fun for the kids.  It was nice cool evening and the weather was perfect!  Sorry for the picture overload...I have a hard time not posting all of them! LOL! And this is not all of them HAHA!
