Papa Clint's Big Big Truck

Papa Clint sure gets picked on by these kids!

Grandpa made a special trip over so he could take Will over to see his big big truck that Will has talked about constantly lately.  Will was so excited and couldn't wait to go see it again!

This just made me laugh!

Will was in heaven!

Will wouldn't leave Grandpa's side :)

Will loved every minute, thanks Papa Clint!

The Demolition Derby

Gammy Bev was nice enough to spend her evening cuddling baby Emmie so we could take Will to the Demolition Derby.  Will was very excited and its always so nice to have some one on one time with just him!

East Idaho State Fair

One memory I love from growing up is going to the East Idaho State Fair.  It was always a lot of fun and so this year we decided to take the kids to IF for the weekend and have some fun.  First we were able to watch Tyler's football game and he was so into to it which made it a lot of fun!  He is very intense and such a little athlete :).

Will's First Day of Preschool

Today was such an exciting day for our little Will and I just cant believe he is big enough to be going to school already!  Will has been excited for months now about starting school and after orientation last week he was so ready. I enrolled Will in Oak Glen Preschool ran by 'Miss Char' and I am so excited to have Will in her preschool. I really like how she runs her preschool more like a Montessori and think Will is going to have a great year!  Plus Will thinks its pretty cool we get to drive up in the mountains by the temple for school.  We even got to see a deer at orientation!

Trying to get Will to cooperate for the traditional first day of school pics: 

Finally :)

On the drive up Will was just so excited and wouldn't put his 'pack pack' (aka backpack :) down!

As soon as we get in the drop off line we unbuckle and wait our turn:

At about this point Will was getting a little apprehensive:

But as soon as it was his turn and he saw Miss Char he jumped right out and ran to 'hold the rope' just like he was supposed to!

And a final little wave :)

Oh man it was so cute!  I wasn't expecting to tear up at all but as I drove down the hill I was seriously at the verge :).  He is such a good kid and always keeps me laughing and I am so lucky to be his Mommy.  It seems weird that he is old enough to be in school and it was definitely weird to spend a couple hours alone at home with just Emmie.  I couldn't stop thinking about him and hoping things were going well. 

When it was time to pick Will up it was seriously so adorable seeing all the little kids lined up and 'holding the rope'.  They are seriously so tiny!  As soon as Will saw us in line he got so excited to see us and it seriously melted my heart!  You can't really see but in the pic he is telling all his friends his Mom's here and waving at us:

On the drive home Emmie was super angry and screaming the whole time so Will wasn't too interested in trying to talk over her to tell me about his day.  We had a snack and I kept asking him about his day and he kept ignoring me and would only reply that he rode a bike at school.  Ha ha so funny!  So I sat down to nurse Emmie and he climbed on the ottoman and in about 5 minutes completely crashed!

He was so tired from his first day of school and it was pretty cute to see him all tuckered out from such a hard days work!  When he woke up he was in a much more talkative mood and told me more about school and how much fun he had.  I am so proud of my little guy!

Out with the Old

I think they are finally done for!

I'm super excited for my new front loading red set coming soon!

hello miss bright eyes

Right now Emmie has Daddy's adorable dimples and Mommy's bright blue eyes........

we're hoping this cute little girlie keeps both!

Swiss Days

Since Mike couldn't find anyone to take his class on Sunday we are stuck home this weekend for Labor Day. When we woke up this morning and I asked Mike what he wanted to do I was surprised when he suggested heading to Heber for Swiss Days. I was super excited since Mike hate's all things fair like so we got ready and headed on our way. The kids were great on the ride but about half way to Heber Will spilled his apple juice all over himself and my new Jeep :(. Oh well it had to get broke in somehow right?! We got to Heber just in time for lunch and decided to stop at the Dairy Keen since it has a model train that circles the the restaurant and train tables to play with and train cars you can eat in. Pretty sweet! Will was in heaven :)

As we were getting ready to leave Will had another spill and this time ended up with chocolate milk all over himself!  He seriously never has this many spills!  Since this time he was sopping wet from head to toe we decided to try and find him some new clothes.  So we stopped at three different local stores and finally ended up finding him a stylin new outfit from the Family Dollar, ha ha awesome right!  Well by the time we finally made it to Swiss Days Mike was shall we say less than thrilled:

Will loves bouncy houses and slides and was so excited to get to play on them!

He is such a mad man and always finds something crazy to do to scare me :)

We ended the day by testing out the new Jeep and took it off road through the mountains on our way back around to Salt Lake.  We are loving our sweet new car and cant wait for all the fun adventures and memories to come!  It was such a perfect end to a crazy but fun day :)  I love my little family so much.
