Happy Birthday Drey Bud!

Dreyson turned 4 this week! We had lots of fun celebrating all week. He loves Angry Birds and requested an Angry Birds cake (And it had to be the blue bird, of course.)

He told me for weeks before his birthday that he really wanted "one of those things like Robin Hood has" a bow and arrow. (Now that he knows the name of it, he calls it a "Bolden Arrow")

My mom, sister, and I took him and a few cousins to Chuck E Cheese.

We ended the day by eating dinner with Dad and going to Arctic Circle to get his very own shake. He had a great birthday and was totally spoiled! We love our Drey bud!

Look at him go!

Dreyson learned how to ride his bike without training wheels a couple of weeks ago. He just decided one day that he was going to do it, and he took off. He thinks he is pretty cool now! He asks multiple times a day if we can go outside so he can ride his bike. Good job buddy!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from our ladybug, Spider-man, and mummy.

Fall Fun

My sister, Kim, is a school teacher. When she is "off track", we try to get together to take my kids to do some fun things. Not only do my kids LOVE her (all the grand kids do), but its nice to have some extra help with my 3 kiddos when going somewhere. We decided to venture out to Wheeler Farm one day while she was off. My mom came along too. It was a really nice day and we had a fun time.

Brooke was content to sit in her stroller for most of the time

We played in the tree house

Went on a wagon ride

Fed the ducks

Climbed the big tree

We had a picnic and let the kids play at the park afterwards.

We have also been to the pumpkin patch a couple of times. Kevin's mom took all the grand kids on the night of the priesthood session. I forgot my camera that day. So these are from when my mom took her grand kids.

Preschool

Here is Dreyson on his first day of preschool. He loves it and wishes he could go to school everyday like Jena.

First day of Kindergarten

Jena started Kindergarten in August. She was so ready to go to school and could hardly wait. Jena loves learning. She loves trying to read and sound out words. She loves to color, cut, glue, draw, tape, write, etc. School is perfect for her. She absolutely loves it and she loves her teacher too. The only part about sending her to school was letting her ride the bus. It sounds silly to me because I rode the bus all growing up, but it was really hard to let my little 5 year old get on that bus and hope that she makes it there and home OK. Fortunately, we have an awesome school and principal, who rode the bus with the kindergartners the whole first week to make sure everyone made it.

Luckily, she has a couple of friends in her class from our ward

Summer Recap

I know....just call me the world's worst blogger. I just can't seem to keep up with everything right now. Lets see if I can get caught up on the blog. Here's a quick recap of our summer.

The boys mowed the lawn

This one goes with the picture below. We had a "camp-out" at my in-laws" house. It was a blast!! I really had a lot of fun. We all came over and had dinner and then watched an awesome firework show. ( I think it was the weekend of the 24th of July) Then we all set up our tents and slept outside. In the morning we had breakfast. My in-laws rented this giant slip'n'slide. It was awesome! Unfortunately, this is the only picture I got of someone going down it. Dreyson loved it!

We had a fun 24th at my parents (or this might have been the 4th....)

Fun with sparklers

My kids and I had a fun day at Lagoon with Aunt Kim, Aunt Teresa and her kids. We had a blast. My kids loved everything. They especially loved the bigger rides, like Bombora and the Bat.

We enjoyed the parades

And riding bikes....

And giving each other a ride on the tricycle.
