Mason is really excited every week for school. How could you not be happy to go to Mrs. Tate's. He got his first homework packet, he could hardly wait to get started. Hopefully that will carry on throughout the years. He was most excited about the daddy skeleton he made today. He made a very anatomically correct boy skeleton. I love kids and their attention to details. Man I am going to be sad when Mason goes away to school all day. He is my best buddy, I hate that he is growing up so fast.

Lacie's 7th Birthday

Make a Smilebox slideshow

I can not believe our little tink is already 7. I love seeing her grow up, but am so sad it happens before I can even blink. Lacie is such a joy to have in our family. She is spunky but so sweet. We love you Lacie!

Toothfairy note

So Lacie wrote a cute letter to the tooth fairy of her requests when she took her tooth. She made sure the tooth was extra clean, brushing it so the toothfairy would do the things she asked. The tooth fairy was pretty nice, leaving her hand prints. Boy does Cynthia the tooth fairy write small. I remember getting my own letter from Cynthia when I was young. I love moments like these, and for being a mom!!

NUMB!!!

So today Lacie had to go get a cavity filled. She was a trooper not even crying with the shots in her mouth. She was so funny about how her mouth felt after she was done. She asked if she would be able to eat next week. I told her it would only be a few hours of numbness. This is the smile when she found out she didn't have to starve. She is my bottomless pit when it comes to food. I wish I had her metabolism.

Can you spank grandpa's?

Well this is what Morgan came home with after her weekend away with her grandparents. Three hermit crabs!! I must say Morgan was so excited to have a pet, so she had to make sure their was one for everyone. Bless her heart. I am not a huge pet person, so my kids are pretty deprived in that area. I have to say I get a little grossed out by our new crawling family members. Papa is going to have to come and clean the tank out, since it was his bright idea. I love my parents and am so glad they will do ANYTHING to please their babies.

Mason's first day of preschool

Mason was so excited to start at Mrs. Tate's again this year. He really enjoys going to school and being with his friends. He likes that their are other boys in the class. He was so funny about wanting to wear his new dinosaur shirt. He has been saving this shirt for today.

Back to school

Well we are back to school for the new year. THe girls are really excited to start a new grade, even though it has only been 2 weeks since they were in school. They really enjoy their new teachers. I love to see how much they have grown year to year. One thing I always love is Marc giving them a fathers blessing at the beginning of the school year. That is something I hope my kids will always treasure, because I never had that growing up. I am so grateful my kids will grow up with the priesthood in their home, and for a wonderful man who honors his priesthood.
