California Trip Day 2: DISNEYLAND

We had a great day at Disneyland.  It is really hard to get through everything in one dayl, but we did our best.  The kids thought it was awesome so that is all that matters!!  Kennedy loves Mickey and Minnie Mouse right now so she was excited to see them in real life.  Even Dallin still thinks the Characters are real.

California Vacation Day 1: NEWPORT BEACH

We left Friday morning and drove straight into Newport Beach. We had a fun filled afternoon. The kids love the beach. They played and played in the sand and water. Both kids swam in the cold water. I however refrained from swimming and stayed behind with Camden.

Dallin says he looks like "The Sandman" from Spiderman.

They loved trying to build a sand castle. More just like mounds really, its a good thing kids have good imaginations.

Camden's Baby Blessing

Camden's baby blessing was over Labor Day weekend. We had such a good time. A lot of our family came down from Salt Lake. It was so great to have them there. It was such a special day. When I was pregnant with Camden, I got an overwhelming feeling that Camden was a special person and that was reitterated in his blessing from Garrett. I am so thankful for such supportive family and friends that were this us that day whether in person or in thought.

I made a cake and we sang Happy Birthday to the September birthdays in the family. Lisa's is the 25th, Tim's was the 7th and Dani's is the 20th.

The kids were so good the whole day. They entertained themselves while the adults talked by dressing up in Dallin's pirate costume.

The weekends events wore some people out.

On Saturday we had a BBQ and swimming!

1st Day of School

Dallin started Kindergarten this year. I knew it would be an emotional day for me and it was. I am so happy for him though, because he needs school. He gets so bored if he is not constantly entertained and then he will start bugging Kennedy. I was sad to let him go. He is my buddy always there wherever I go, and my helper when I need him. He loves school!! He loves his teacher and everything about school. He does not even want to go to California next week because he does not want to miss school.

I had tears flowing taking pictures through the fence. He said good bye and did not even look back.

In a way it is the beginning of the end. It just seems that time will go by faster and life will get crazier with kids in school.

This is Kennedy's second day of "Class" (as she calls it) There is a few friends of mine with kids all about the same age that talked me into doing a preschool for the kids one day a week. I originally thought Kennedy was too young, but she absolutely loves it and talks about it all the time. She can't wait to go to Class.

She loves using "Lawmy's or Dallin's" pack-pack. It is bigger than she is.
