Nick's 1st day of Preschool!

Today was Nick's first day of Preschool!
It's called Busy Bee Preschool.
A lady in our ward here teaches at her home, so it's a perfect fit for us.
He was sooo excited to go, he was anxious all day to get to school.
Getting him to wear anything but basketball shorts and football shirts is a huge challenge, but he was willing to do me a favor and wear something a little nicer for his first day! :)
We (me) kind of forgot what time Preschool started today, so he was 30 minutes late to his first day, but he didn't seem to mind.
We are so proud of Nick! He's growing up so fast and is such a blessing in our lives. He makes me know that I'm a good Mom. His hugs and kisses make me so grateful!
We LOVE YOU Nick!




Jack Jack Turns 10 Months Old!


Jack is now 10 months old! He is one fun little guy!

He has played around with the idea of going from the "army crawl" to the real thing! But still prefers the army crawl.

He pulls himself up to things.

Has now gotten the nickname of "Jack Jack".

Is getting totally sick of baby food. He prefers big boy food! It wont be long before we no longer buy baby food....sad but kind of exciting since it's expensive and most of it goes in the trash.

He is learning baby sign language. We are working on the signs for "more", "all done" and "food".

Still loves to clap.

And continues to love his Mommy more than anyone else- this is the one thing I hope he never grows out of!

We love you Jack Jack!

Boys in the Tub

*Warning: Boys barely covering their "goods". Skip this post if you might be offended!

These 3 boys make me sooo happy!
Sunday was a special day where they all decided to take a bath together.
Had to capture it on film!
Aren't they cute! :)

The Wheels on the Bus!

Sophia loves riding the bus!
Here she is today, with her bus necklace on that she has to wear to and from school. I guess it's a good way of keeping track of the kiddies!
This is yesterday when we picked Sophia up from the bus stop. See how happy she is? She loves school and loves the bus! We have one amazing little girl here!

Kindergarten Days!

I really can't beleive that I am writing this post...Sophia started Kindergarten this week! She is getting way to big, independent, smart, confident and pretty, way too fast! Here in Arizona Kindergarten is ALL DAY, and they ride a bus to school. She was SOOO excited about the bus. I told her I would take her and pick her up, and she wanted nothing to do with. Its all about the bus for Sophia, she thinks is the coolest! Though is kind of scares me to put her in school, having her gone basically all day, and letting her ride the bus, it makes me proud to know that she LOVES it! I'm glad she had the confidence to do all this. She knows we love her and that we know she can do anything she sets her mind too! I guess I should be proud! :)
Here are some pictures of her first day of school!






Scentsy Convention Intensity 2010

It's that time of year again, Scentsy Convention! This year it was in Denver, Colorado.
Of course it was amazing, lots of fun, friends, new friends, team spirit, giveaways, and exciting news! It's always so fun to get together with team members and to meet new ones! If you missed my play-by-play on Facebook, here are a few of the pictures that I took from the big event!
Give-away bags! These were the grab bags I gave to all my Scentsy group members that came to convention, 32 bags in all! They were filled with lots of treats and goodies to help them get through the next few days!

Our First Visitors!

We were lucky to have our first visitor to our new place a few weeks ago, yeah, I'm totally behind on my blogging! My mom, dad, cousin Laurie, and her little girl Isabelle, came to stay with us. It works out great. We still had our Honda up in Utah, so we needed someone to drive it to Arizona for us. My Mom and Dad were up for the adventure! Then I also needed someone to watch Sophia and Nick while I went to my Scentsy convention (with Jack in tow), in Denver. So my cousin was able to stay longer and watch them for me with I was gone. It was so great having everyone come and see us so soon!

Sophia showing us where we BBQ almost every night!

Swimming with Grandma! Grandma was in heaven, and so were the kids!


Out to eat! Jack enjoying a cracker!

It's HOT HOT HOT!

Here we are now in HOT HOT HOT Arizona! We have been here for about 3 weeks, and so far we love it! The kids are in love with their new backyard. With pool, playset and plenty of sidewalks to ride their bikes on, what more could kids ask for? It has been hot, but so much better than cold (in my opinion)! Here are a couple shots of our backyard- where we spend most of our days!
