Bryce's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Bryce has survived 7 full days of Kindergarten! I have a few pictures from Backpack Night and a few pictures from the first day of school. We are so proud of our shy little boy. He seems to like school and actually tells us quite a bit about his day. He says that his favorite parts of the day are riding the school bus and Music class. He teaches Blaine the different games they play in P.E. and he is very excited to check out books from the library. Here's to a great school year!

       Of course Blaine wanted a first day of school picture too!

                                            Mommy's first day of school too!

Bryce's 5th Birthday Party!

We had Bryce's family birthday party on Sunday, August 13th at 3:00 at our house. It was a gorgeous day and it was so nice to be together to celebrate our little farmer. He wanted a Harvest Party (surprise, surprise) and we had so much fun decorating his cake!

Ali Kay was passed around quite a bit during the party but she sat with Great Grandpa Ed for the longest time!

7 Months Old!

Ali Kay turned 7 months old on Sunday! She is just the sweetest little thing! She can sit up on her own and get up on all fours and rock back and forth. She loves eating her baby food and her current favorites are sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, and applesauce. She takes 2 naps a day and sleep from 7pm to 6:30 am. She is adored by her brothers and we just can't get enough of our sweet little Ali Kay!

Swanson Girls

August 1st was my last day babysitting the Swanson girls. I will be teaching Kindergarten in Williamsfield starting tomorrow! I have been so lucky to be able to stay home with my three babies for the last three years. Although I will miss them terribly, I am so looking forward to getting back into teaching. I have had Bianca since she was 10 months old, and both Karina and Susana since they were 6 weeks old. We will sure miss those little girls and Blaine will especially miss playing with them.

State Fair

We decided to spend the day at the State Fair on Bryce's birthday this year since it was on a Friday and our last day of Summer Break. Hannah and Dane were showing pigs that day too so it worked out perfectly! Ali got to spend the day with Nannie instead of being stuck in a stroller all day. The boys had so much fun.

 Having fun in Conservation World. The boys love to see the "big fish" every year.

 TSC had a fun kid's tent this year where the boys had fun doing different farm activities

 
 He was so excited to get there! Here he is showing off his "little tractor" purchases he made using his birthday money. He waits all year to pick out the things he doesn't have yet.

 Blaine and mommy were so excited to eat mini donuts when we got there. Not sure how many he ate, but he was sure shoving them in pretty fast!

Bible School

Both boys had so much fun at Vacation Bible School this year at our church during the last week of July. Last year they had a hard time staying in their group because they only wanted to be with mommy, but this year they did so good going with their class and singing and dancing to all the songs. It was so cute to watch them! The theme this year was "Christmas in July."
