Purple Day!!

This kid has been excited to dress up for purple day ever since school started. They've done a different color each day and she's been wearing a little bit of each color. But for purple she went ALL out. Because she had the "perfect outfit stuff"

The bus skipped our bus stop so I had to give her a ride to school. It drove right past us, instead of turning at the park to pick us up it just drove right on down the street out of the neighborhood! Hopefully he remembers the new stop tomorrow.

What's Your Wi-Fi Password?

We went to my parent's house today and Julia was SO excited to wear her new shirt.

A couple weeks ago when we were up there the first thing Julia said to my dad when she hopped out of the car was, "What's your wi-fi password?" And my dad just thought that was hilarious. So when I saw this shirt a couple days later I scooped it up and saved it for our next trip to Grandpa's house. She loves their little joke :)

Church coloring

Kayla is in that oh so fun phase where she isn't old enough for nursery and is way too independent to sit in class with me. But let's be honest, my kids hit that age around 9 months when they learn to walk and can't be bothered with sitting still longer than zero minutes.

But today, she colored. And not just dump the crayons on the floor and rip the paper. Actually colored. And it was adorable.

First Day of Kindergarten!!

Look how excited this girl is to be going to Kindergarten!

And the bus stop is at the park this year so it's double exciting!

(It was at a vacant, dirt lot last year- boring)

And she's off!! Didn't even look back!

But she has a bunch of friends on that bus with her so I don't blame her.

Home again- I think it's safe to say she had an exciting first day.

Love this kid!

More Birthday Fun

I love how she's cheering for herself when she literally didn't blow out a single candle :) Jude and Kayla blew out the ones on the sides ha!

Daddy gave her a second try. See the look on Jude's face? Guess what he was thinking. . .

A pink nightgown! And a pink mickey mouse shirt!

This kid loves pink :)

Happy Birthday Talia!

The birthday girl!!! I can't believe she's already 3!

She absolutely LOVED her new scooter (she didn't call it a scooter though, she called it her birthday) and got right on it and started riding with no trouble.

She's a natural!

Jude and Lydia didn't care about the scooter, they just wanted to eat doughnuts :)

Daddy always gets doughnuts when we have a birthday and the kids love it of course. So much chocolate. . .

And just because she's cute: Kayla insists on using a fork for everything now and it's hilarious :)

Beautiful

Lydia is getting really into hair-styling. She has plenty of sisters to practice on! Today Talia was the willing participant and they both thought the creation was so beautiful! I especially love the hair-clip earrings of course.

This baby turns 3 tomorrow!!

Waterpark!

My friend, Amy, invited us out to La Verkin to join them at this day of fun the parks department was putting on. It was a BLAST! They had big water slides and SO many bubbles and a dunk tank that Lydia did about 30 times. Jude tried the dunk tank a couple times too, and Julia tried it once but struggled swimming back to the surface so she only did it once. They even had the fire truck come out and spray everyone with water. Talia got a little freaked out and I had to go into the spray to save her a bit and got totally soaked, but it was all good. I just wish I had been a smart mom and brought snacks, we could have stayed another two hours if everyone wasn't starving ha!
