1st Day of School 2009

Today Tyler and Alexa went to school! Alexa was very excited to go to 1st grade and to go all day long. Tyler was excited to see his friends and have a "boy" teacher this year. I only have two kids at home all day now....this will be a breeze!!

Tyler's 8th Birthday Pary!!!

For Tyler's 8th Birthday we invited four friends over to come celebrate. Tyler's actual birthday isn't until the 26th. We went to the Washington City Pool, in St. George area, and wanted to spend the day. We had the party from 11 am to 5:30 pm. The boys wanted to keep it going, but we had plans later that night to play kickball with a bunch of families for family night. We started out with lunch at our house, opened the presents, and ate cake and ice cream. We then journeyed to St. George. I rented a movie for them to watch in the van. The boys got a long so well. I think they had fun. Dallin, Isaac, Tyler, Trent, & Trey
My cake is a race track from the number 8. Unfortunately, it fell apart in transporting it to the foiled pan, I then tried to piece it back together. This is what I was left with. Oh, well. I tried.

This is Tyler flying out of the water slide...I was a little delayed in the picture taking.

The boys hanging out in the current pool.

Nate with the girls in the current pool. They had just as much fun as the boys.

This is the little kids area. It only has 8 inches of water.

Playing with my Awesome Friend Katie for the Weekend

These are our Awesome Friends the Cline's!! They came from Sacramento to Salt Lake to see us for the weekend. It was so much fun. We went to the Hogle Zoo, went bowling, went to the movies, hung out, and planned crafts. We were going to actually make the crafts, but ran out of time. They are Great Friends. We love you guys. Katie, Dallin, Madelyn, Ava, & Jesse

Happy 1st Birthday JACEY !!!

Happy Birthday Jacey..My Baby!! We love you.

This Nate putting the cake on Jacey's head. It is a family tradition on my side of the family. After the birthday kid has eaten their cake we finish the cake eating off with the dumping of it on their heads. It is so much fun. My Dad would be proud.

We have a lot more pictures of all the family who came to have cake and icecream with us. I just wanted to show off our darling little one year old! I can't believe my Baby is 1 year old now!

Las Vegas Trip

We got to see my really good friend from high school while we were there! Her husband breeds turtles. My kids thought that was so cool! We also went to the Mandalay Bay Aquarium. We took some fun pictures.

The Girls being Girls

The girls had fun when I put in the old school curlers in their hair. They ran to show Grandma Graf how they looked like her. Grandma Graf got a good laugh too! Too Cute!

Swimming Lessons

As you can see, Tyler is not affraid of the high dive! Great job on the cannon ball, Ty!

Alexa did a great job this year in her lessons. She wasn't the least bit afraid of putting her head in the water.
