So I thought this was kind of funny about Bee. The other day when she got home from school I asked her who she played with at recess. She told me she plays with Carlos and she can't remember the other boys names. I asked her if she played with any girls and she told me no she just likes to play with boys because they are hotter than girls.

Something funny about Harley: The other day the kids were playing outside. I went out to check on them to see something wasn't quite right. Harley was running from the neighbors house like she was hiding. There is just a middle aged couple (old to my kids) that lives there. I asked her what she was doing and she told me that she was ringing the old mans door bell and running so that he would open the door and think that it was a ghost. The funny thing is she was hiding behind a willow tree where he could totally see her. He told her she wasn't very sneaky. I don't think he saw the humor in it.

Olive's big mess

So after the party was all over and cleaned up I could hear Olive in the kitchen. For some reason I knew exactly what she was up to. So I went in there and sure enough, a big mess all over my clean kitchen. I thought I would take some pictures of her cute little purple mess before I cleaned it up anyway.

Olive's party.

Today we had Olive's birthday party. Grandma Nettsy and Papa Ike came up and went to church with us and then stayed for the party. Tiffany, Alan, and Tandra came to the party also. Tuff gave a talk in primary so it was really fun for them to be able to come and watch him give his talk. She got some new dolls for her doll house from Grandma and Grandpa and a baby doll from Aunt Tiff and Uncle Alan. She was really excited about blowing the candles out on her cake. She definately loved her birthday!!!

We Love Our Bows!!!!

I thought my girls looked so cute today so I had to take a picture of them with their cute bows!!!

First Day Of School

School started on Monday the 25th, Olive's birthday. Tuff is in second grade! I can't believe how big he is getting. I put him in a special class that has 1st - 3rd grades in it. I think it will be good and hopefully next year Tuff and Bee will be in the same class. Bee is starting kindergarten. I was a little sad to send them off but I was tougher than I thought that I would be. I was so proud of myself. I blinked back my tears when I took Bee to kindergarten and I didn't even cry at all. Oh yeah, and Bee didn't cry either. My kids are independent little things these days. Even Olive went to nursery all by herself on Sunday. Only the last ten minutes but she made it...huge improvement!!

The zipper on Bee's first backpack broke on the first day of school so we took it back and got her a new one. We were very lucky to find another Hannah Montana backpack or Hannah Tanna as Olive calls her.

Olive Is 2!!!!

Olive turned two on Monday the 25th. She was so excited for her birthday. She woke up in the morning and opened all of her birthday presents. She got some new little dolls for her doll house and clothes and a Dora jacket and Dora blankie. I wished that I had gotten a picture of her cute face when she opened her blankie but I missed it. I made her some birthday cupcakes but she fell asleep before she got to eat them, her birthday party isn't until Sunday. So she will have to wait until Sunday to blow out her birthday candles. So lucky Olive she gets 2 birthdays.

Last Days Of Summer Vacation

So we spent our last week of summer vacation in St. George. The last day Tuff got this great idea to put the hose out on the driveway and make a slip n slide. They played just on the sidewalk and had such a fun day. They ended up with concrete burns all over their feet but they had a great time anyway.

Bee kissed a goat...and she liked it!!

My kids are always singing that terrible song I kissed a girl and I liked it. I don't allow them to sing it but it does get stuck in their head and mine so I took this picture and we decided to change the song to "Bee kissed a goat and she liked it."

WASHINGTON TRIP

We got to take a small trip to Washington. We spent only Saturday there. Jason had to work so me and the kids spent the day at this really cool park next to the Columbia River. It was a huge park and there was also a water park. We thought that the Columbia River was so cool. It was huge with great big bridges that cross it. I got lost looking for the park and ended up driving over one of the big bridges. I do not like to drive on bridges for some reason. I was screaming cause I was so scared. It was a huge bridge!!! We spent a long time throwing rocks in the river and looking for craw dads. We never did find any except for the little pinchers that fell off. It was fun just to sit there and watch all the boats go by.

Washington Trip-At The Water Park

The Water Park was so fun. They have a water park kind of like this in St. George too. But I think the kids liked this one a little better. They were cold when they were done though. They definately are not cold when they are done in St. George. Harley and Olive kept trying to drink the water.

Washington Trip- At the playground

We went to this 12,000 square foot play ground. Which was cool but I wasn't sure if I liked it. I was so worried because it was hard to keep an eye on all of my kids at once. But they had a fun time playing in the sand and Olive loved the slide. I was so happy I captured that big smile on her face when she got to the bottom.

Ririe Dam

One afternoon Jason was able to slip away from work for a few hours for some fun in the sun at Ririe Dam. It was so fun to swim in the lake. We had a barbeque and just played in the water. On the way back to the car Harley and Olive got to take a ride on the cooler.

Washington Trip-The train

There is this little train that takes you around the park in Washington so we took a ride on it. It was kind of fun.

Want a peanut?

Olive is the most helpful little girl. She always has to make sure that everyone has a drink. Jason never goes without a diet coke weather he wants one or not. And she is always happy to help. She says I'll get it. At the family reunion she walked around with this jar of peanuts and asked everyone if they want a peanut.
