Hayli, Our new Cousin

On September 2nd Hayli was born (daughter of Caitlin & Jared, Jason's sister and brother-in-law) We stopped by to meet Hayli on our way home from West Valley. Everyone got a turn holding Hayli. Some more time then others. Mikele was a little bit of a baby hog and Kassie had to settle for a doll which made me a little less nervous. Congrats to the new parents!!

Mikele & Preschool

Mikele started preschool on Tuesday, September 2nd. She was very very excited!!!! The first day she did great. I dropped her off and she went right into the classroom and started playing.


One of the great things about her preschool is that they have a really good reading program that the kids work through at their own pace. Mikele has been very excited about this because she really wants to learn to read. When I picked Mikele up, one of the teachers said that Mikele had asked her, "when are we going to learn to read?"


Kassie did not do so well. She cried!


So now that we are about to finish the second week of school, you would think the novelty would wear off just a little. Oh no! Mikele was ready with her back pack on by 9:30 this morning! (Preschool doesn't start until 12:00)

My friend had this on her blog so I thought I would try it out. It was kind of fun!

You Belong in 1986

Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.

What Year Do You Belong In?

Beautiful Hair!

So we were trying to get ready to leave for Mikele's Preschool Back to School Night and Brock and Mikele were doing Kassie's hair. It was a butterfly extravaganza! They used every butterfly clip we had (there were quite a few) on her hair. Don't worry we told everyone who noticed her hair that I was experimenting with a new look on Kassie.

Brock is Published!

I could not be a prouder parent. Last May a friend of ours that does illustrations for the "Friend," the LDS magazine for children, asked if Brock would like to pose for an illustration that he was doing. Of course I agreed and the illustration has been published in the September 2008 Friend on page 7. You will be able to view the "Friend" by clicking here. The illustration goes along with a poem called "My Special Time." So tell me what you think. Does it look like him?

p.s. I am sure Brock will autograph your copy.
