Dawson is three

Dawson had a cars party on September 18 2010. I made cars bean bags to play a game. They rolled cars in paint and make a picture and got their faces painted as different cars. He was so happy. He ate pizza for dinner and had a cars cake for dessert. He got so many wonderful gifts. I love parties but this year it has been a bit stressful so I actually bought the cake and didn't make it which was hard for me. Happy birthday big boy!

Thanksgiving point gardens with the Burnhams

In September we went to the thanksgiving Point gardens with our friends the Burnhams. The kids had a blast. I only got two pictures of them rolling down a big hill and my battery died but they all tried it. What fun memories we have.

Abigale's first day of school

Abigale started Kindergarten on September 1 and I couldn't believe it. This came so fast. She was so excited so that helped me but I still cried. Her teacher is new and her name is Mrs. Lee. I can't believe my daughter is in elementary school.

1st attemp - Big boy bed

Can I just say that I am so happy to be blogging again and that one of my favorite things is PICTURES! Toward the end of august I decided to lug the fire truck bed upstairs and get it set up for Dawson because he was soon to be three. I spend hours getting it all ready for him and he was quite excited. I was excited but had this pit in my stomach because that means my baby is gone. I actually felt sick and wished I didn't do it. I got him in bed and said goodnight. After an hour of calling me and being so sad i said, "Do you want to sleep in your crib?" and he did. I was so relieved because I was not ready for this. I got out the drill and proceeded to tear the bed apart and haul it down to the storage room. We will try again in a few months.

First day of school

Ethan and Gavin started school on August 25 2010. Ethan started 5th grade and Gavin started 2nd grade. they were both so excited and looked so cute in my yard by my flowers. Ethan is in A.L.L., which is the accelerated class and Gavin has Mr. Rindlisbaucher. Dawson was wishing that he could go to school so I took a picture of him with his backpack too. It makes me sad because hw is so ready to go to school and I want him to stay with me FOREVER!!!

Rainy August day

East Canyon

Every year we take a trip to East Canyon with grandma and papa. The kids love it so much. They get to swim, ride 4 wheelers, do mini golf, and play on the play ground. Dawson was so into mini golf and wanted to do it all day. He would hit the ball once and then pick it up and run to the hole and drop it in. It was so cute. Ethan loved swimming and had Aaron throw him and ball that he jumped for. What great memories.

Salem pond

We went to Salem in August, to visit Heather and her kids and go feed the ducks. They all loved it. Gavin was so sweet with Dawson, always wanting to be with him and to help him. We love our cousins.
