GREAT 2 B 8

I can't believe my girl is eight years old...it's gonna be a big year!
I love that Kylie is beautiful inside and out.  She is very compassionate and empathetic. She is my best helper at home.  She is great at writing stories too!

School Days

I must say I was sad to see summer end, but if it has to at least we got some new clothes to make us feel better.


 Don't you love the poses?


 Tessa is starting kindergarten this year. She goes in the morning and gets to ride the bus!


 Kylie is going into 3rd grade.  She is excited to begin at a new school.



 Mallory is coming to preschool with mom...how lucky am I?

 We had to get one with dad. This year my first day of preschool was the same day as the girls first day...insert STRESS here. Luckily Dad played Mr. Mom getting everywhere they needed to be and attending kindergarten orientation :)

A Visit from Grandma



We love it when our Grandma visits...especially after our birthdays :)








A Puppy Paw-ty

Tessa wanted a Puppy Party for her 5th birthday.
We put on some doggy ears and makeup and the girls made collars complete with their own "doggy names."
Then we played "Doggy, Doggy Where's your Bone?"
Next it was a doggy pinata.














We ended with some canine cuisine...puppy chow in bowls, and some dog cake.

Get a Clue!

Kylie turned eight in August and we celebrated early with a Nancy Drew Mystery party.  We invited some of our "old" friends from Woods Cross and some "new" friends from North Salt Lake.
We started the party by making sleuth notebooks with matching pens.
Then we went to open presents only to find a note telling us that one of the presents was MISSING and it was up to the super sleuths to solve the "Mystery of the Missing Birthday Present."
The girls got on a disguise (sunglasses and finger mustache tatoos) then grabbed a sleuth tool fromt he bag.
The clues were all around the house and the tools helped us with the clues. For example one tool has a mirror because a clue was written backwards, another tool was a code to decode a coded message, still another was tape to put together a ripped picture.
The girls had a great time running from one clue to another (I wish I had gotten more pictures of it...but the girls were in a hurry...they had a MYSTERY TO SOLVE!)
The final clue led to the mailbox where Kylie found the gift and cute pink and zebra watch.
Then it was time to open presents.  My mom and I had to laugh because almost every gift was something to MAKE. I joked that I hoped a major blizzard would hit so we could actually finish everything.
We ended the day with an ice cream cake and pizza :)
