Fishing

Last weekend we went to the Valleyfest. It had lots of fun activities for the kids. But the highlight was fishing. I am pretty sure the stocked that pond up cause every kid caught one. But how excited were they to catch a fish and in record time too! It is the best way to go fishing for sure :)

Preschool for Aiden

This is one excited kid. Doesn't he look so handsome. I can't believe he is growing up so fast. He was so proud of himself cause he didn't even cry :) He has problems with leaving me so for school I just drop him off and it seems like it works for us. He told me he was a little sad but didn't cry and then got happy cause he was having so much fun. And today was his second day and he said he wasn't even sad at all cause he knew he would have fun. Thank you Ms Rita and Ms Kara for making this a good experience for my little buddy.

Happy Birthday Aiden #4!!

This year Aiden wanted a Iron Man party. So of course my mom made a killer banner that everyone loved and that looks awesome in his super hero room.

All the kids had to do 5 different tests to become Iron Man. First was the long jump:
The disc throw:
20 meter dash:
Dead lifts:
Accuracy with the dart throw
I then handed out diplomas and arc receptors and masks. Then we opened presents and had cake. Sorry there are no pictures I am now using Spencer's computer and I haven't figured it all out yet. So I seem to lose pictures!

After he said that he had so much fun and it was the best birthday ever! It is the least I could do for the best kid ever. Love you buddy!

Wake boarding

Some of our friends invited us to go boating with them. The dads all got off early and heading out. The rest of us came after the kids got out of school. Spencer hasn't been boating for years. He did really good and had tons of fun.

This is him wake surfing:

And bum boating?
At the end we all jumped on for a ride. Emma, Haylee, and Maddon

When we stopped to change boarders the big kids jumped in the lake and swam around.
Mason looks happy now but when the boat started he did not like it.
It was Aiden's birthday so we had cupcakes on the beach. And later opened the presents from the grandparents and us.

Slip and Slide

After school on the first day they neighborhood had a slip and slide party and this was one huge slip and slide.

Aiden would only go on it with me. Soon I had Mason join in and we went down a ton of times. What a great way to end the summer.

First Day of School...for Emma

Emma was super excited and nervous to start 1st grade at our new school Chester Elementary! I was excited for her to be able to walk everyday.

These are all out of order.

Anyway, standing in line after the bell rang to go into class.

This is the group that all walks to and from school together. How fun!!
Emma's first day of first grade. So cute!
This is her at meet the teacher the day before.

Discovery Park

We found a super fun park that we all had a blast playing at.

There was a rock climbing wall...

Super fun spinning chairs...
Swings...
A rock slide...

And so much more. We will be going to this park often.

Handsome Boys

Aren't they just the mot handsome boys ever? I love these two. They are such good buddies already!

10 months and crawling!

Mason is 10 months!! He started crawling about two weeks ago and now he is unstoppable! I had a video to post but for some reason it is not loading. I will try again but no promises

He loves hanging out with his brother and sister. And he already knows all about super heroes! (Don't you love our new huge TV?)
He can pull himself up on to almost anything. ANd he loves the enter way, looking out the window, looking downstairs, and playing with the door stop. It makes a really cool noise :)
He loves all toys especially the ones his brother and sister are playing with. No toy is safe when this guy is around. He is so cute and so happy.
