Pre-School

Today was Keza's first day of preschool. She enjoyed it but keeps asking when 'nastics' is starting.
So I am going to try and register her for gymnastics this week. Our little family is growing up!

Yesterday was Chandlers first day of First Grade! He was up at 6:20 am up in my face saying "Mom! Wake up I am going to be late for school!" He has a teacher who has only been teaching for a couple of years and she seems nice. He had a good first day. (He did come home and teach Keza how to hold down all of your fingers but one!--He got a talkin to for that one:0) and now Kent is dead set that he will not be attending public school next year. I guess we will see.) Life just seems to keep passing us by!

Summer Magic

Wow this summer has flown. School is in less than a week and I have mixed emotions. I hate the freedom that school takes away from our family time, but enjoy the freedom that school gives to me!
I have been busy lately working on a home that we picked up in Rigby. It has been a learning project but somewhat stressful. I have also decided that working from home is not all it is cracked up to be. I have had a hard time balancing family life and work. It is too tempting to stop working to do laundry or dishes and hard to not remember something I need to do and go do it even when it is not my "scheduled" work time--but we are working through it and hopefully school will help us more with our schedule.

Family! Family! Family!

Well, July is over and it was definitely our month for family! Adam and Natalie blessed Mckayla Dawn Baker at the beginning of the month. Ryan came home from his mission in Peru and Jodi came home from Germany in the middle of the month. Last but not least we had our Dance family camp out at Loristica!
We had so much fun spending time with both families. We have played hard, now it is time to get back to work!!

First are our pictures of our Bike ride to the top of Black Mountain the weekend Ryan talked in Church. There are also some pictures of the annual candy drop at the Freedom ball park.
I also posted pictures of our camping trip to Loristica. We had a blast and won the award for having the dirtiest children when we left! Kent has such a great family and I love spending time with them! I will also post pictures of the Swingin Tree, a family favorite when we are camping!
