enjoyed a beautiful Sunday evening!

Dear Daddy,

Thank you for being my Soccer Coach. I have been watching you and Dallin play for the past three years and now it is my turn to have you for a Coach. I love running really fast with you. And the best is trying to jump up really high and give you a high5. You are a fun Daddy! THANK YOU for making our own soccer field in our backyard, you work so hard!!!!

LOVE, PENNY

Dallin, Penny, & Allison

MR. D. has been busy with School :) HE LOVES IT! He loves eating lunch at school, i put Dr. Seuss notes in his lunch with a little treat and he comes home smiling telling me he made sure to read my love note for him :) He comes home from school happy and ready to play with his school friends and sisters. Being at school all day is perfect for D., the more he is entertained the better.

We have had a lot of butterflies in our backyard and this picture below is of Dallin being so gentle with a butterfly he caught.

Our Sweet P. has learned to ride her bike without training wheels. She decided to ride her bike without training wheels on Saturday and it only took her a few falls/tries to figure it out. She learned quickly but not without a wound to show for it. Her last ride on the road she was going to fast and looked behind to see where i was at and she lost control and fell onto a curb and hit her forehead (yes, she was wearing a helmet.) Anyhoo, she is very proud of her new accomplishment.
She has also started PRE-SCHOOL with her best friend :) They both were so excited!!!!!!!!!!

And tonight these two girls start playing SOCCER :)

Also, I love doing Penny's hair, this was her hair style on Sunday, little girls with braids, flowers and bows in there hair are so CUTE, i cherish the sweet moments of this little girl and her cuteness!!!

And our little SUNSHINE is wanting to do everything like her big siblings and is going thru a phase of getting frustated if she can't jump off the couch like they can, so much to learn and DISCOVER!!!! She has also been sick with a cold and has been very demanding :) so that's why i haven't blogged for a week! As long as this little girl is in the middle of all the fun, she is as happy as can be! :)

Day 2

Dallin came home yesterday with a BIG grin on his face and is still smiling this morning! The first few days of a new school year are always so exciting!!

This is a Mr. D this morning on his way out the door to the bus!

(my little man is growing up way to fast!!!!!!!!!)

Back to School :)

Yesterday i had Dallin look at a back to school recipe book (FROM MA♥KEY) to pick out what kind of lunches he wanted me to make for him.

The picture below is a copy of the list he wrote of what he wanted for the next three days.

*savory ham tortilla wraps *a delicious vanilla fruit salad *Tossed chicken salad w/ mandarin oranges and almonds

I was a Proud Mom of his GREAT CHOICES :)

(thank you Ma♥Key for the book)

i am looking forward to 3:30 today to hear how his first day of 1st grade went. He was so excited to start school and this year his School got there own elementary building, which is fantastic!
The bilingual program is growing fast and doing great!!

Camping

we went to McCall this weekend for a camping adventure

the kids loved HIKING, it was a beautiful area!
they had fun playing in the dirt making a garden/playground for the ANTS, it was very clever what they designed, making a campfire, roasting marshmallows, being silly in the tent.
And for us as PARENTS
it was a lot of work with three little kids!

We're back from Washington

we had a wonderful summer vacation

with Ma♥Key & Poppa, my sisters and cousins!!!!!!
