Family Pictures: August 2010: Rock Loft

Yes, we got our Family Pictures taken about a week ago. A friend from High School took them for us, and she did a FANTASTIC Job! Thanks Brooke! They turned out really well and it was a fun evening. We had them taken up in Fruit Heights at the Rock Loft...(If any of you know where that is and familiar with Fruit Heights). I grew up there Right on Green Rd. We live next to my grandparents and aunt and uncle...(of course my parents still live there). The Rock Loft has some cool old stuff up there and tall weeds....it really is a fun Place. If you have never been there, you should go there, because inside the store is a Boutique with Fun and Cute stuff!! Fruit Heights is a fun Place!! Here are some pictures:

1st Grader and Last year of Preschool!

I can't believe I have a 1st grader. Blake is already loving school. He has a really nice teacher who is young and makes fun learning. he has a lot of his friends that were in Kindergarten with him in his 1st Grade Class. He loves eating school lunch and home lunch and loves having 3 recesses and loves being at school all day!! It is such a joy for Annie to be at home with only 2 girls!! I can actually get things done!!! Blake is doing really well and has fun. It wasn't a bit real adjustment for him. He does well when he has stuff to do and keeps busy. He is a person who needs to keep busy or he does get bored. He is writing well and reading well also. He is very bright and smart and makes friends of all ages easily. We love you Blake! Have a fun year in school!! (Pictures will come!) Forgot to take some on the 1st day. Marissa will also be in PreSchool this year. We have a couple of kids her age that we will be doing it with. All the moms will trade off every week. there will be 3 girls and 3 boys! It will be so much fun and Marissa can't wait. We will begin after Labor Day!

24th of July

This year for the 24th of July, we took the kids along with My SIL and her kids and went down to SL, to look around. We had a tour of the Conf. Cntr. and the Lion House and walked around Temple Square and ate lunch down there at the mall. It was a fun day and kids really had fun seeing all the attractions and learning about the culture and where we came from. It was a fun filled day with lots of pictures involved.

Swimming Lessons 2010

This year I signed Blake and Marissa up for Swimming Lessons. Blake had tons of fun in swimming as usual and Marissa never did want to go because she had a boy teacher and she wanted a girl teacher, so we ended up getting our money back for her and we will try again next year! Blake is becoming a great swimmer. He can swim under water.....he is not afraid and does great at it. A couple of weeks ago we were at my aunts house and she has a swimming pool and Blake was jumping off her diving board without a life jacket on and swimming to the side. My dad and sister were impressed of how well he would do that! He is really catching on great!! I hope to continually keep him swimming! He loves the water and to be independent. I just hope that Marissa will like to do it and become good as well. Jaci on the other hand......loves the water and is like a fish! Next year I am going to definitely put her in swimming! She is going to be my little fishy in the water!! She is not afraid at all!!

Blake's Fun Summer Act.

Blake loves to keep busy. He loves going Hiking, Fishing, being with my dad or his dad or grandpa craig. Here are some fun act. that Blake has done with his Grandpa Brian. Hiking up Bear's Canyon and fishing and also sitting in the Helicopter from the 4th of July. He is such an outgoing kid and loves to be doing everything he can. He just recently got a BB gun from his Grandpa Craig and bought some Bullets from the Money that he got from his Birthday. He shoots it up at Grandpa Brian's house with his dad around. I can tell he is going to be just like his dad and have many guns and go fishing and hunting!! What can I say.....he is his father's child!! A cute and handsome one too!!

Bear Lake

A couple of Saturday's ago we went up to Bear Lake with Tony's Sisters Family and kids. It was a little overcast that day and to me it was a little chilly. The water was clear and blue and beautiful. There were a lot of people still up there. The kids had a Blast. Playing in the sand, walking out to as far as we could.... and it was pretty far. Having lunch, eating pizza up there and best of all.....Having a Bear Lake Raspberry Shake. It was so much fun, we are going to go up there again this weekend!!

Cute Kids Pictures @ home!

I Bought Blake a Church Outfit and He looks so grown up in it and looked like a little man! he is so handsome! he likes his hair buzzed. What he really wants done to his hair is to look like Calton and Graeme...*the recessing hair line that they both have!! SO we just buzz his hair instead! Here are some fun Pictures that we took one Sunday Morning! Jaci was being a peel so we didn't get her in any of the Pictures!

Ducks!

We also went to Tony's work the other week (because he needed me to bring him something), so I took some Bread with me and we fed the Ducks. We had fun and the kids were a little scared and Jaci got snipped at, but we had fun! Here are some pictures to share!
