Fall Pictures

I love taking pictures. My kids have so many. We took the kids out over the weekend and got some pictures of them. Aren't they adorable. There are to many to post so I just posted my top favorite of each of them. The group shot was a little difficult to get everyone to look at me at the same time.

Goodbye Jack

Yesterday was a long and awful day. Yesterday at around 11 am I found our black lab Jack dead. He looked like he was sleeping and I tried yelling at him and he didn't respond. So I walked out there and found him dead. Ella had a really bad day, he was her dog. I have deceided that we aren't getting anymore dogs for a long time or maybe never again. Jedd wasn't home for all this, so he didn't find out about it until later that evening. When he got home he put Jack in is resting place. We aren't sure what happened. He was a healthy dog, atleast we thouht. It looked as if he went to sleep and never woke up. We will miss you Jack.

Someone didn't love them...

Someone didn't loves us. I found these 2 puppies in my garage yesterday morning around 9am. I have no idea where they came from. They stayed all day and wouldn't leave. They acted like they had always lived here. So I started calling around to see if anyone had lost some dogs. I called all my neighbors and anyone I could think of that might have dogs, no such luck. I believe now that someone dropped them off at my house. I don't think they are lost. So since I already have one dog and don't need 2 others I put them on KSL today. I have had 2 calls and one is coming up tonight to look at them. They are so cute but I just don't have room or time for more animals. In my ad I clearly said"free to a GOOD home. It is so said that people do things like this.

End of the summer cookout. The girls love to have cookouts in the backyard. This will be the last one for the season. Becca is always the one who gets the most dirty.
Sticky mess!
Messy Face! A little bit of ketchup, red juice and marshmallow.
It's more fun to play with than to eat it!
Ella enjoying the tramp before it gets to cold.

What a cutie.
Beccas 1st day of dance practice was a few weeks ago. She was very excited and she loves it. She is always dancing whenever music comes on .
Kurt 4 months old. He turned 4 months old on Sept 9th. He had his 4 month appt on the 16th and he weighed 18lbs 12oz (95%) and was 26 1/2 tall (90%). He is a healthy boy. He is so much fun and a very happy baby. Favorites and little things- he has a favorite blankie, is loving the rice cereal, loves to play with his binky taking it in and out. always trying to grab things, cries around strangers, already. Doesn't like tummy time all that much, talking baby babble and laughing a lot, loves his sisters. He is just so much fun.

Becca loves to help me whenever I get the windex and paper towels out. The other day she took it upon herself to clean the windows with Kurts baby wipes.

I just wanted to post these cute pictures of Kurt. They grow up so fast. He loves the rice cereal and aren't Kurt and his Uncle Josh cuties and best of all the TOUGH BABY picture. Watch out!

PRESCHOOL, IT'S HERE

The last couple of weeks have been really busy. We have been hurrying to finish the family room in the basement for my preschool. Jedd left it until the last minute so we have spent every spare moment to get it done in time. Last year it wasn't finished and I told him that I really needed it done for this year. Well today was the big day and I survived. I was a little nervous. Things ran really smooth. I have 8 kids in preschool this year. It's just the right number. One half of the basement is the learning area and the other half is the play area. I think it turned out pretty good. Becca couldn't wait for (her) preschool to start. The daily agenda will include free time, learning time, circle time, story time, arts and crafts, music time, and snack time. Preschool is on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9-12
