Back to School Fashion Show

Strike a pose!!

With the kids heading back to school, we have been busy buying school clothes. The kids love to put on a fashion show for the family. My sisters and I used to do the same thing when we were young. We would go shopping with the grandparents and they would want to see us in their clothes. The kids take this pretty seriously.

First Day of School!!

Well summer is officially ending. Keaton headed back to preschool today. He was super excited and frankly, so was I. Not that I won't miss him dearly for those two hours but I know it is so good for him. He does such fun things and he learns a lot. Since starting preschool last year, he is doing much better socially. I can leave him for a short time and he now knows he will be fine. He is becoming more independent. Also, he will continue with his speech therapy. After his tongue surgery in Feb, we are starting to see some imrovements with his speech. He loves his teachers and his classmates. He will turn five in a couple of weeks so next year he'll be ready for kindergarten.

Baptism Day

The whole family

Anders cleans up nicely! What a sweetheart.

Anders' 8th Birthday!!

Anders turned 8 years old on August 14. He was so happy. He got the Heelys he's been wanting and various Indiana Jones guys. He especially liked the gift from Dylan. He had gathered up some of his prized toys and wrapped them up for him.

If you got to the end...you are now IT!

We've been trying to get some family time and excercise in at the same time so Kyle takes Alyssa on the bike and I push Keaton in the jogging stroller. Of course, she has to wear Anders' football helmet for safety and cuteness!

We were headed out the door so I told all the kids to go potty. Alyssa went running in the bathroom and lifted up her dress. She tries to 'go' like Keaton does and she gets pretty frusterated that it doesn't work.
