Cheer Camp

Timpview Cheer Camp. It was so cold this year. The girls did the Orem High cheer camp this year as well but it was much more pleasant. The Orem High camp was in September and the girls loved it. They were totally getting into the cheers and did a great half time. Paige kept kicking her leg in the air and was really moving. Then we did the Timpview camp and because it was so cold they literally just stood there. Sailor at half time didn't do one part of her dance. We will know for next year to make sure we stick to the earlier ones that are warmer.

First Day of School

Paige is in 1st grade and is gone all day. She loves here teacher and her friends. She especially loves to have school lunch. She is so smart and in such great kid. Sailor is in preschool and is doing the reading program and I am so surprised at how well she is reading. It is just clicking with her. She loves her teacher Mrs. Mulliner. Mrs. Mulliner is my very favorite of any teachers my kids have had in any kind of school. She really is the best and is so motivating to my kids. I hope she is still working when Cashy is in preschool.

Random Summer Pictures

Since I have been the worst blogger and so much time has passed I thought for my own records I would post some summer shots. They are not in any order which I hate that blogger does that but ohh well it's faster then doing each picture individually. So here are some randoms of us in St George at the Facers house for 4th of July. We swam our hearts out and went and saw Annie at Tuacahn. Jalynn feed us the most amazing food all weekend. Thanks to Mykelle and Riley for having us come with them and A BIG THANKS to the Facers for letting us stay in their beautiful house. What a great family. We just love them! There are also pictures of when my in-laws came home from their mission at the airport. It was so great to see them for a little bit before they had to head back. We miss them so much and my kids are dying to have their sleepover with grandma and have her do manicures, pedicures and read stories. She promised them that when she left again and I am still hearing about it. Their is a picture of Cash dressed as a girl that I found on my camera. I guess when the babysitter was here they thought that would be funny. Such a cute Boy/Girl! Also some pictures of BYU summer camp. The girls had so much fun learning there. Paige studied all summer about butterflies, and Sailor about recycling. They also did a music camp and learned all about composers and instruments. We had such a great summer and I am missing the warm weather and the tan so much!

Cash's 1st Birthday!

So a whole year has gone by and I cannot believe it. It seems like just yesterday Cash was born. It was so fun to plan a little birthday party with 7 other babies. It was fun to have all the babies the same age so they were all at the same level. We did a farm themed party at the park. I had my friend Amy bring her little dog Phoebe to play with. Then we played in the pool with the balls. My favorite part was when they all painted with pudding on place mats. Cash was a superstar. He really got into it. It was funny to see the different personalities of the babies. Some were more reserved and didn't get into it as much, but for the most part every baby went to town with their pudding. Since they were all dirty we let them dig into his cake. Again Cash was the star of the show. It's so funny because my girls were both more careful about getting dirty on there first birthdays. Not Cashy! I was a proud mama! Thanks to everyone for coming and spending the day with us.

Just to remember as his mom: Cash is just starting to stand up by himself with out holding onto anything. He says mama (which means nu-ma for food), ball, dada, wo-wo (when he sees a dog), ba-bye, uh-oh, he shakes his head no, claps, plays peek-a-boo. I'm trying to get him to drink cows milk, so I'm doing half formula, half milk. His birthday was the last time I nursed him. I'm so sad about it. He is a great sleeper now. He gets so excited to go to bed and snuggle his blue barefoot dreams blanket. There is a square in the middle of the blanket that I think is made out of silk and he loves to bite on it. He seriously is the fastest crawler in the world. He has figured out how to turn around and then stand up in his highchair. So now I have to really strap him in. He loves to pull the drawers open and pull everything out as fast as he can. He will watch me to see if I see him, and then if I start to go to stop him he will just pull faster before I get to him. I can see a little bit of the boy destructive personality everyone has been telling me about. I love that he is SO boy. He is just so chunky! He weighs 23 pounds. I love having a boy, it is so much fun to buy boy stuff. I can't wait to see what he is like in a year from now. I'm just so in love!

Sailor turns FOUR!

What a birthday we had!  My little monkey is four now, and we had quite the celebration for her.  I told her that she could pick any birthday she wanted (theme) and originally it was Hello Kitty. For months she talked about it.  Then the week before we got one of those "Birthday Celebration" magazines and she saw a Hawaiian themed party in there and she was sold. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do it, but it seemed to all come together.  We rented a big jump house and had little swimming pools. Everything was set up and looked so great.  The party started at 4:00 and by 4:40 the rain started to fall.  Seriously, of all days?  The whole week was beautiful weather and of course so was Saturday.  But Friday, her birthday, it's the one day that it rains. So my luck! So we all huddled in under the tent and were able to eat and sing Happy Birthday.  It was kinda cozy and fun.  The kids ate under the picnic tables and the adults stayed under the tent (thank-you Claudia).  It seemed to be clearing a little so I went in to make the pina coladas, and of course my mom comes in ten minutes later and says that it is raining hard and the wind is blowing.  So they started taking all the decorations down and moved the party in the garage to open presents. Oh well, it will be a party to remember.  I think the kids had a blast.  Luckily they didn't care about the rain.  P.S. I have a great source for cakes.  Sailors cake was so cute, yummy and cheap ($28)!
