So BEHIND

I am so behind on this thing, that I am almost to the point of just DELETING IT ALL! But I won't yet and I will try. Its sad when you haven't even blogged about the last day of kindergarten for your daughter and she is starting FIRST GRADE in the morning. You know you are behind for sure.

None the less I am going to make this a marathon of a post and put some stuff from all of this summer and what not, so I am sorry if it is so LONG and BORING.  Just leave a comment, and maybe I will get better at this blog stuff.

ELISE
Elise finished of Kindergarten and had a great time with Ms. Lambson, who was amazing. They had a graduation program and she still sings the song she learned. She made some fun friends in Kindergarten and I am hoping First grade is as wonderful. She also lost her two bottom teeth at the end of the year. Crazy at how fast it all goes.
Here is the missing tooth picture, I had to use all my Mom courage that day and pull it out, we were both in tears. I hate pulling teeth!

This summer Elise also learned to ride her bike with out training wheels. She loved to do this all the time, and anytime there was some one at our house she asked if they wanted to see her. Brycen and Elise put on many endless hours of Talent Shows for Nathan and I.  Elise loves her bike for sure, and has gotten quite good with all the practise.

BRYCEN
Finished preschool and had a great time with a fun class of BOYS! I don't know how Ms. Sarah did it, she was amazing though.  We loved seeing all the fun projects Brycen came home with and all he learned. One day I got him to school a little late and he didn't want me to walk him downstairs so I stood at the top of the stairs as he went in, I heard the door open and all these little boys scream out BRYCEN, I loved it and just had to laugh.



Brycen also had a birthday and turned 5.  Brycen loves anything MARIO so we had a huge Mario party with about 10 of his little friends, I had a blast getting all together and planning it all. The only down fall was that the cake fell over minutes before the party.  The boys didn't mind and it was easy to scoop up and serve when you didn't care what it looked like.  Here are some fun photos on it all:

The cutest Baby Luigi EVER....

Brycen also got a scooter for his birthday which he preformed his many talent shows on with Elise.

KAYLA
Our littlest Beans just seemed to keep growing and keeping us entertained and on our toes. She loves her Grandpa Miller and loves to be carried around by him.
She finally started getting some bottom teeth at about 9 months, her favorite teething item has been a golf ball luckily we have almost 7 THOUSAND of them. (Which is what her Dad and Grandpa have been doing this summer)....




Kayla has also gotten in on the being outside and being on at least a Tricycle, and enjoying the summer weather.


 We also got to spend some time with family around the 4th of July my grandparents had their 60th wedding anniversary.  We had a good time just spending time eating and visiting with relatives. 

 We also got to spend sometime shooting and enjoying being in Tremonton that weekend, and having Tess and Kelly stay with us which is always fun.

For the 24th of July we got to have our annual King Benjamin Night with Nathan's family. It always includes wonderful food, lots of cousins running around together, and great memories.  Nathan's Dad has done a wonderful job of keeping the tradition going since having lost Nathan's mom.  I know she is proud and so pleased with all of his efforts that he has continued the great legacy they built together. I don't know how I didn't manage to get one photo that weekend, probably because I was just having to much fun.  We know its one thing to always look forward to. 

As for me I have just tried to keep up with it all, and enjoy the adventure. Hopefully I can embrace this Back to School thing as well...

Now hopefully I will stay a bit more up to date. I still need to post about Island Park, but hey at least that happened this MONTH!
