Swing Set Fun

So we got this swing set from our old bishop who was selling it on our ward Trading Post. We figured we will be here for a while and it would be great. So we got it before summer started and it was so stinkin' hot we didn't use it much. Now that it is starting to cool we are using it a ton now. We wanted to stain it so it would be weather proof. That was the project last week. It got half done. The boys worked hard.

First day of School

After much consideration, prayer, and thought we decided to wait a year before putting Zach into Kindergarten because he missed the deadline in age. He is so bright and his preschool teacher told me he was so ready but I kept looking towards high school and I wanted him to be older and more mature when he gets to tackle those challenges. Plus I really want to pick what school I put him in next year. He will definitely keep me on my toes this year his teacher said she was having him do first grade work. YIKES! The first day she gave everyone a packet full of edible rocks, a puzzle and a magic ball which he insisted we would go straight home and throw it in the tub. Here is his special magic trick. :-) IT was a towel how cool is that.

Bubble Gum

My mom got the kids a bubble gum dispenser at Chuck E cheese. Hmmm.... I had to hide it after a week. They still get some bubblegum but now they are not as obsessed. :-) I remember the 2nd day we had it, Tyler figured out how to take the top off and in the process the thing tipped over and gum balls went everywhere. Much to Tyler's delight, it was a free for all and his hands moved so fast shoving the pieces in his mouth before I could get to him. I wish I had a good picture of that. I hope my dentist doesn't see this. LOL. :-P

This is how we pray?????

Bow our heads and cover our eyes? Hmmm someday he will figure it out....this was a whole week adventure.....I still don't know if he has figured it out....

Hiding Place

Tyler's favorite place to rest in is none other then....drum roll please my closet. Looks cozy huh?

Oh the Belly Button.........

My children are addicted to their belly button....when they are hurt finger goes in the belly button.....tired.... belly button....... drinking.....belly button....sleeping belly button..... They have been like this since they were born. Zach doesn't do it as much anymore. But when he sleeps he does. I guess it is better than thumb sucking....

SOCCER SEASON STARTS!!!!!!

I was so excited that soccer season finally was started. Zach has been wanting to play forever. He loves to kick the ball around.

Here are some of the pictures. First, there was the line up. Learning the throw in.
