Our baby goes to PRESCHOOL!

My baby started PRESCHOOL today! I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He was so excited to go. We had to get some pictures with his backpack and his excited face! He did great. He walked right into class and says, "hi my name's Caleb" and he went and put his backpack away and said, "mom you can leave now"! He was so brave to go without his mommy. Needless to say I was not as brave to go without my buddy!

Yes, his backpack really is this big! I think we could fit him in it and I could carry him to school!

The last picture of me and my buddy before he left for school!

I can't believe Caleb is already going to school. He has a love of learning and is so excited. I think it will be really good for him to make new friends and learn new things. Once I get used to the schedule I think it will be good for me too! I love you little schpooba and I am excited for you to go to school!

Thanksgiving point.....again

We ventured to Thanksgiving Point again this week and went to the Garden's. It was a great time! The weather was perfect and the kids loved just walking around and getting some fresh air. I spent most of the time being frustrated that the kids would not "pose" for a good picture. They had their own plans in mind and they did not involve the camera. I was still able to get some cute ones.

Cambree walked most of the time and by the end she was so "pooped" out that she just plopped right down for a rest!

August Fun

We had a lot of FUN this past month!

On a really hot day we went and played in the sprinklers and had a great time!

This was some serious nap hair. We kinda think she looks like a "Who"

We have really been into painting this week. It is quite a project to get all cleaned when we are done, but it is great entertainment!

Just some fun times!

I almost peed my pants this morning! Caleb came out of his room wearing only his underwear and Cambree's winter hat! He started dancing around doing a little jig singing: "it's almost Christmas time, it's almost Christmas time!" WHAT? This kid is totally nuts, I know something is wrong with him if he doesn't make me laugh everyday by the things he does or says!

It was Lindon Days this past week and we thought it would be a fun adventure to go to the rodeo. We got there and it started pouring rain. We took cover under a 2ft little hangover under a building. After the rain stopped we waited for them to grade the arena and then they got started...just in time for it to pour down again! So we watched one rodeo event from the car. Caleb still says he had so much fun. (All we did was get sopping wet!) It was still a fun adventure

So this month it is $2 Tuesdays at Thanksgiving point and we took the kids to the Dinosaur museum last week. They had a blast. I love cheap, fun entertainment. We went with Me-ma and Uncle Landon which always makes it really fun too!

Diggin in the sand and water! Caleb told me-ma that he needed to go home to get his shovel!

She screamed when she had to get out of the sand. She was having a blast. Dad, on the other hand.....

So a typical day at our house involves getting into the cupboards and playing with the Tupperware and the pots and pans. They mostly end up as hats and noisy toys to bang together. This literally happens EVERYDAY!

So, this daily activity totally frustrates Brandon and I. So the other day we were so frustrated from telling the kids to get out of the cupboards and they were not listening. Brandon says, "well, if you can't beat em, join em!" and he gets a bowl and puts it on and they all danced around the house! Do you see the NUTS that I live with?!!? Never a dull moment

Madrigal Reunion

Last night I had a Madrigal Reunion at our house. It was SO fun to see everyone again after 7 years. We had a pretty good turnout, I was very impressed. We sang songs, watched our old video we made and reminisced! Thanks for coming everyone! Let's not wait another 7 years.

American Idol Auditions

We went to the American Idol auditions this week. It was CRAZY! We arrived at 5am. It was a very long day. So many people were there. We met some really fun people who were excellent singers. We actually got to be in the opening sequence for the Salt Lake auditions. So watch for us when the show airs in January.We got to see Ryan Seacrest!! so cool!

Brandon's reaction to see Ryan Seacrest!

Here he goes to try out!

The audition process was lame. They put up these little curtains and at each table 4 people would go up and sing their song. Then they would either say no to all 4 people or they would choose 1. Well in Brandon's group there was a girl who had been professionally singing for years now. She has been in a group with an agent and record deals and everything. So they were so stuck on her that they didn't even really listen to anyone else in the group. So Idol is a no-go, we will have to make our millions by winning the lottery i guess!

Even though he didn't make it we still had a good time!

24th of July

For the 24th of July we did a little firework show before we went to bed. Cambree wasn't to thrilled but Caleb thought it was the coolest thing in the world! We all wore matching shirts for the day. Caleb wants every day to be a firework day.
