Happy 5th birthday Lincoln

For Lincoln's Bday we went to the new park by the Butterfly park and had pizza.
Todd had fun shopping for Lincoln at Bass Pro Shop and got him a cool suction dart gun. Lincoln totally LOVES it.

Balloonapalooza

So have all you in Las Vegas heard about Balloonapalooza? We thought we'd check it out this year. Lamo. It's free to get in, just 5$ for parking, and we parked across the street for free so that was sweet. I'm not into spending 4$ dollars for a carnival ride so we walked around a little, and I guess maybe because it was windy that's why I didn't see any hot air balloons-- anyway we took them to the 99 cent store instead and it was fun. Then had rootbeer floats at home (except I really thought we had rootbeer but didn't so we just had ice cream). Anna is just fun to take pictures of.

Quote from Lincoln "I like tripping Dallin"

Quote of the day from Kaylee: "When can we get a maid for my room?"Anna falls asleep on the couch alot. She was all sweaty, and there's a bead of sweat hanging off her nose.

Love those big brown eyes

The kids love to get a hold of the camera and I'll find surprise pictures from them.

Anna loves her preschool class. She wanted to bring a lunch with her just like Kaylee does.
Lincoln also really likes preschool. Almost as much as playing Sorry with mommy, baseball with daddy, and watching tv.
It's exciting for me to see how Kaylee is reading and learning. She has an elective class called Young Scientists.

My trip to CT and school's here

Kaylee looks so grown up in this picture. She's loving 1st grade.I went to visit my sister Wendy, her husband Adrian and their new baby Scarlett in Conneticut. Mom, Dad, Amy and Kevin came too. We went to the beach, to tour a mansion in Newport, RI and on an adventure in New York. The baby blessing on Sunday was wonderful. We totally got lost in Central Park. We were so tired and had to keep asking people how to get back to 73rd E where we parked. Dad asked a guy who was digging for food in the dumpster which we thought was funny. We didn't bring Dallin's stroller so we were carrying him alot. He was good though and finally fell asleep. Kaylee thought it was amazing that I was in the same place as Giselle in Enchanted.
This is how I find Anna most afternoons.

31

So I turned 31 and got my hair highlighted. It's fun. I'm so thankful for my family.

Today Cafe Rio opens about 8 minutes from our house. I told the kids if they're good today we can go, but you know even if they're little stinkers we'll still go.

Dallin is so adorable to watch walk

More fun Yakima stuff

Dallin took his first steps in yakima, and now at almost 15 months he's finally walking!

At grandma's house Anna told me there was a fly upstairs so she got the fly swatter down by herself, went back upstairs and then came down with a fly on it. Wow!
We enjoyed a day at the Yakima Family Fun Center miniature golfing.
Anna turned 3. Todd got her these fake earings that lasted long enough for a picture.
