New Bookshelves!

I saw an idea on the internet a while ago, and wanted my handy hubby to do it for me, so he did!

These bookshelves are made of rain gutters! I love having the cover of the book show and now the kids can get their books down without emptying the entire book shelf! Thanks Steve!

Pumpkin Patch

I took my preschool class to the Day Farms Pumpkin Patch. I have to say I was pretty worried about the weather because it had been raining and the forecast said it would likely continue to rain. I really think it was an answer to prayer, because it turned out to be a beautiful, warm, blue sky day. My kids wanted nothing to do with taking pictures, but we all chose our pumpkins and had fun on the hay ride. I got a BIG pumpkin and Kaitlyn chose a little, green pumpkin.

Michael 24 months

Michael's size at 2 years old:
Height: 33 inches
Weight: 23 lbs. 9 oz.

Michael is 2 years old!!

My cute little boy is 2 today! Michael is so much fun. He has a happy disposition. He rarely cries when he falls down, but he has the saddest cry when his daddy leaves for work. His laugh is contagious and will make anyone smile! He loves to spot airplanes in the sky, loves to play outside, and is such a blessing to our family!

Zoo Day!

Grammy wanted to take Michael to the zoo for his birthday so we met her, Lori, Brookly, and Savannah and had a great time. There were hardly any people there and we got to see the baby elephant, baby giraffe, and baby tiger! We also got to ride the carousel and the train. Thanks Mom--we loved it!!

A Fall Day in the Mountains

Steve's parents were camping up at Jordanelle, so we decided to go spend the day with them. The leaves were gorgeous driving up Parley's Canyon. We enjoyed throwing rocks into the reservoir for quite a while. It was a photo opportunity as three generations were skipping rocks and reminded me of the poem Steve wrote for his dad a few years ago called "The Unthrown Stone".

9.9.09 First Day of Preschool!

Today was our first day of preschool! Kaitlyn went with me last year to preschool, but this officially marks her first day of being 3 and going to preschool. The kids in my class are really cute this year, I'll just need a nap when I get home :)!! After preschool when Steve got home from work he asked Kaitlyn if she likes her teacher. She just looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "It's Mom!" So I hope she likes me! Anyway, I can tell that she's 3 now. She's one of the best kids in the class now that she's already done it for a year and knows the routine.
