Grandkid Pics

My mom has wanted me to take pictures of her grandkids for quite some time and I finally did. I was procrastinating because I knew it wouldn't be pleasant and Oh was I right. Everything would have gone really smoothly if not for the one grandson. Tate was flipping out the whole time. I could not get him in any pictures with the girls. He was tired, hungry, and just wanted to play on the toys. Afterward we went to eat and Tate layed on the floor kicking and screaming until our food got there. At that point I had just completely given up and that is the precise reason we don't have family pics. Well here are a few of the pics. Notice how I got alot with Tate all by himself.

Kennedy's First Week of School

Well Kennedy is extremely excited to be back at school. She loves to learn and thinks her new class is great and since it changed my commute from 20 minutes to 2 minutes I think it is pretty great too. She asked me if it was alright if she went to school everyday and I informed her that preschool is only two days a week and she will have to wait until kindergarten to go everyday. There are eleven kids in her class and I believe that they all will go to South Weber Elementary so it is good that she will know a few kids ahead of time. Not that I think she will have a hard time making friends. She is our little social butterfly so I know she'll be fine. Here are a few moments from her first week.

Tia kept wanting to get in all the pictures with Kennedy. She always wants to do whatever her big sis Kitty is.
On Thursday Kennedy had show and tell and she decided to bring the countdown to Disneyworld chain. We made it together and she couldn't wait to show everyone how close it was until she went. She is pretty excited if you can't tell and if you were wondering it's down to 4 more days now. Woohoo!


Thursday we had Lauren and Maggie over to play and have lunch before preschool. The girls had alot of fun and were so cute together. I decided I just had to get a snapshot of them together.

Happy Birthday Scott & Sydney...Happy Birthday To You

My brother Scott and his wife Sydney share the same birthday so my mom decided to throw them a surprise birthday party at Cherry Hill except it wasn't much of a surprise because my mom left the evidence on the computer and Scott was the next to use the computer. Oh well good intentions right. Well it was alot of fun and my kids absolutely loved it. Kennedy kept asking when we could come again and we hadn't even left. My mom sure knows how to throw a bash. She even got a pinata which Ben of course broke before anyone could take a swing at it. Go Ben! Well since he broke it, we decided that his punishment should be holding the pinata while everyone swung. Seems fitting right. I said all in all it was a success. I mean we only lost Tate once so that a great feat right there. Here are some of the great pics.
