Pre-school

Lake Almanor

We enjoyed 2 wonderful days this weekend at Lake Almanor celebrating Sue and Steve's 40th wedding anniversary!! Congrats on 40 years, a long and loving marriage is a great reason to celebrate! We had good entertainment, tons of food, and great company. Kylie loved swimming in the lake and playing with Thomas and Tyler. I always enjoy swimming and sunshine, and just getting out of town was fabulous. Matt was forced to play golf, poor guy.










Adorable bats sleeping in the fold of the patio umbrella!

Kylie's New Adventure

Kylie started pre-school last week. She loves going to school. Kylie was thrilled to get to pick out a folder and a backpack - both featuring Disney princesses (as if there was even another option).
She was a little reserved the first day, but warmed up quickly. She never shed a tear and says good-bye every morning and that she will miss me. How cute!


Kylie's first day of pre-school.


2nd day of school with new backpack.

Ella - 4 months

Ella has mastered rolling from her back to her stomach. She likes to buzz her lips together while drooling and spit everywhere. Ella is still full of big smiles and seems very happy.

Swimming

Ella is not sure she wants to swim today.


Ella and my cousin Jordan!

Kylie LOVES the water. She would swim all day, everyday. She is practicing how to swim on her own, we are getting close...if only she could breathe underwater.

Ella

Ella is almost 4 months. I love her big, gummy smiles. She opens her mouth so wide, almost like she is going to bite you. Her smiles make our day! Don't let these pictures fool you, she can cry real big too. She certainly knows what she likes and will let you know. Ella loves movement and wants to be moving or bounced a lot. She also likes to be held facing out so she can see everyone. Just these last 2 days she has started rolling to her side, it seems like she is about to roll over, but has not yet.

Bumbo Seat

This was Ella's first day in her Bumbo chair. I think she likes it!

Ella is 3 months old already! She smiles alot and likes to "talk".

Fourth of July

Happy Fourth of July!! I love patriotic holidays. Our day started out just right (we thought) with a parade down Main St. in Park City. Kylie and I were very excited, Ella was asleep, and Matt was a little less thrilled (he does not like parades). This time Matt was right, the parade was a bit of a let down. So, we left early, beat the traffic, and were off to better things. Like Chic-fil-a!! Oh yum, who does not LOVE Chic-fil-a? Then we headed to the Freeman family reunion in Provo Canyon. Our holiday ended with The Stadium of Fire in Provo!! Try not to be jealous, but we did see the Jonas Brothers. Pretty exciting if you are a girl under the age of 15! They were screaming like crazy. I actually had no idea what they sang until that night, they did have some catchy, cute songs. The best part was when they sang Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" and told all the parents to show their kids they've still got it. Jason, Jessica, Matt, and I belted it out - we showed those teeny boppers!

Vacation in Park City, UT

Well...I made a nice slide show of our family vacation, but the slideshow website would rather post photos of a different family with Spanish subtitles. So, until that is resolved here are many tiny photos. We did have a GREAT time on our trip!!
