a good chuckle

We went up to PC this weekend and during our Sunday dinner meal Easton decides to tell everyone... "I am big enough I can go pee-pee standing up!" He is extremely proud of himself.

Of course, he had to say it when it was a quiet moment, so no one could miss it.

Thanks, Easton, for the good chuckle.

primary

We had our Primary program yesterday in church and even though my children are not old enough to be up on the stand, I felt my heart surge with pride listening to the children say their memorized (or not-so-memorized) part and sing the songs. I don't know how it all sounded out in the congregation (I was sitting on the stand helping), but from where I was, it sounded wonderful. Even when the kids are more shouting than singing, it was so sweet.

and a big thanks to the family helping my poor husband with our two kids. I guess they both freaked out when I walked up front and the family behind Parker asked if they could help and took Keagan and the mom and the teenage daughter let her play with their makeup. She was in heaven. :)

another random fact....

Did you know....

ketchup can be used as a moisturizer.
yet again, thank you, Keagie, for another random fact.

the sandbox

We love getting free stuff, especially when it is a cool sandbox.

It is even fun when there is no sand in it yet.

But so much better when there is sand.

Easton squealed when he saw that Daddy had bought some sand for it today.

Keagan likes to dump it all over herself....

hmmm...where did it go?

So pretty.

My future heart breaker.

I am dreading to see what the bathtub looks like tonight....

preschool

This sweet boy had his first day of preschool today. I have been so excited for him (and me) all summer, but I admit after dropping him off and driving with Keagan to the store, the car was too quiet and I got a little emotional.He did great. I think he was a little nervous, but he was being so brave. I took him in and we found Katelyn, a friend's little girl, and he found some toys. I said goodbye and started leaving. As I was walking out the door with Keagan, he came running up the stairs and said, "I need to say goodbye to you Mom." He then gave me a hug and a kiss to Keagan and we left. No tears on either end. Good, right?

His cool backpack.

At Miss Stephanie's with a toy.

When I picked him up he was excited to show me his "magic" apple. We got home before we opened up the backpack, but his apple is a cutout of an apple that they got to scrape with sticks and the colors showed up after he scraped it. He thought that was so cool.

I can't believe he is in preschool, but I am excited for him to make some new friends and learn new things. Let's hope the rest of the year goes as smoothly as today!
