Summer Comes to an End

-

Dustin officially starts his new contract year with the school district tomorrow. Summer is over and now we have to get back to our regular schedule. The kids have enjoyed having Daddy home during the day and it has been nice for me to use him as a baby-sitter when I had to go to meetings for Church or Visiting Teaching. We'll miss him during the day.

Rebekah got a new Disney Princesses backpack and sleeping bag. She LOVES them. She sleeps in her sleeping bag at nap time and all night long. She has taken to loading up all her "babies" in the backpack and carries it around the house until she finds a new victim to play "babies" with her for a while. She cracks me up!

Loyd is trying to move anywhere and fast. He is practicing pulling his knees under himself into a crawling position. It won't be long before that boy is zooming across my floor and climbing my book cases. Help! He also got his first taste of baby food peas and green beans this week. He tolerated the peas reasonably well and decided he rather liked the green beans. We'll hold off on any fruit until he is nice and use to all the veggies. :)

Loyd loves to be in on the action when big sister is playing. She is usually pretty good to share her toys and lets him join in the fun.


Rebekah just found out she was going to get some Gold Fish crackers. Yum, her favorite!


I think this little gal is just cute! Thanks Grandma C. for the adorable tennis dress!


Loyd is contemplating his next move. He must decide which toy he will slobber on next.


Yum! This boy loves food!

We were so sorry to have missed you at the wedding. But you're sure are keeping yourself busy. Sorry to hear that the summer has ended. Hope that Dustin loves his new job.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
