Kindergarten Kid!!

Today was the first day of kindergarten-

I lost the battle of the shirts and Karden ended up wearing this..


He had to remember to take his "brag bag"

and backpack(don't ask me why he is holding a weapon)


When I dropped Karden off here..


We (okay maybe just me) loved finding his cubby and coat hook and making a birthday candle for the wall...


We found his seat and that is when he broke my heart...


"Mom, stop taking pictures!! I'm supposed to put stickers on my Kindergarten hat, Are you going to leave yet?!"

So all the way home I did this... (yes, I'm crying)


I am now drinking this...


and watching this...

Come on 11:15!!


Someone tell me this gets easier-Please.


UPDATE:
I just picked Karden up from school. I asked him how do you like school his reply "Its a good kindergarten, rule #1 is to listen, and I'm all sweaty!!"

I'm a slow learner!!!

So last year I posted about NEVER going to Thanksgiving Point on $2.00 Tuesdays again!! Well being the extremely slow learner that I am I went again!!! Yikes!!

My friend Jaycie and I decided to make a day of it and go check things out. I told her about my experience last year and we decided to be there when it opened at 10:00 am. We pulled into the parking lot at 10:04. The dinosaur museum looked liked this...

The far corner you see of the museum is not even the entrance!! The line wraps around the building before going inside.

We decided to skip the museum and check out farm country- We unloaded the kids and looked and the peacocks,
pigs, sheep,
horses, and got a kiss from a goat The kids had fun on the pony ride and playing in the jail.
before we decided we were farmed out!! When we were leaving Farm country the line to get into Farm Country looked like this...


Holy Crap!! Does nobody work!! Or are so cheap that we put ourselves though that?

We were officially "Done" and decided to bag it for a little shopping and lunch!!


Mark my words-Next year if I go I will go on a day and pay full price. ( Yeah- I know you have heard all this before) :)

Cabin Fever

We had the chance to get away for a weekend to a cabin up by Kamas.
It was fun to get away from the normal chores and just hang out for a while, I even stayed in my Pjs all day. We ended up getting rained out for most of the time we were there! So are entertainment looked like this for the adults,
and this for the kids!!
We ended up just sitting around visiting, playing games, watching movies and watching the kids run wild!! We did get a little sunshine, just enough time for a walk
a bbq, and a little time to take in the amazing view!!

Another Wild Weekend!!

The weekend started off with a fun night at The Scera pool in Orem for my work party. It was really fun and wowzer my new job spares no expense in pulling off the little shindig. We had comedians, bounce houses, awesome food, and lets not forget the whole pool for ourselves.
The kids had a great time but no pictures- I thought I would spare your eyesight and not post swimming suit pictures. :)

Saturday was our annual trip to the Kids Fair at Wheeler Farm. (random piece of trivia, Last year the kids fair was my very first post on this here blog) But anyways the kids had a great time and the money spent goes to charity which is great. Karden remembered that last year there were star wars guys so this year he spent 10 minutes studying which star wars shirt he was going to wear for the occasion. They were a huge hit for Karden
but not so much with Gavin.
We spent almost 4 hours there playing games,getting faces painted with a butterfly and a dinosaur,,
being pampered
and playing on the jumpers.
The weather was perfect-minus the 10 minute downpour- and we had a fun time.

Saturday night my awesome bro-in-law was able to get us ticket to Cirque De Soleil at the E center.
It was Crazy,funny and amazing all at the same time!! If you ever get a chance to go- Go!! We had free tickets which made it all the better but I would pay the 63.00 dollars to see it again in a minute!!

Sunday was my nephew Gavin's 2 year old birthday party-
We had fun bbq at Ambers house. Gavin enjoyed opening all his presents
Whitley enjoyed thinking she was the boss of him.
We all enjoyed Having cake and ice cream (hungry Germ?)
and visiting while all the kids had fun with the bounce house.


It was a fun but busy weekend. But I wouldn't have wanted to be anywere else!
