Kindergarten... here I come.

In holding with tradition, Sunday night Jamie got his School Blessing and was then presented with his new school clothes.

He is quite the performer, Jason will have to figure out how to upload the videos. It was quite the show.

This is his "Mikey" Ninja Turtle shirt.

Despicable Me Minions shirt that says, "I am just here to annoy you!"

Jamie loves to tease his sister so this fits perfectly.

Despicable Me Minion shirt, "It wasn't me!"

Thomas the Tank. Doesn't he look good in orange?

Planes shirt. This is the outfit he choose to wear for his first day of Kindergarten.

Not to be out done by her brother, B decided to strip and wear new clothes as well. She put on Jamie's shorts and his dark shirt Minion shirt. Then she started strutting her stuff as well. 

Jamie had a very good start to this school year. I was able to take him on his first day. He was so proud to be able to walk me straight to his class and show it off. 

His teacher's name is Mrs. Woods and he had a very good day.

Camping

We went camping again this year-same spot. Richfield

 Miss B still loves the slides.

 Jamie's even better on the tires.

 Miss B liked short rides but screamed all the way home on the long one.

 Jamie had no fear.

 He also got creative on the slides this year.

 We rented these awesome bikes- So fun. I had a blast on them.

We took a picture of B like this last year. She's gotten so big!

Snow Canyon

Snow Canyon is beautiful. Full of sand dunes, trails, and fun.

Jamie loved the sand. He's been itching to go back.

Climbing trails was fun too.

 

We did the Pioneer trail. All the names behind the boys were written by Pioneers coming through to settle Southern Utah. This part was steep so just the boys went up.

We found lots of little nooks and crannies.

Oh, She's mine

Yep, this girl is mine. This is what we find when peek in on her after bedtime or during nap time. 

 Brionney with books, 

... books...

...and more books.

My kinda girl.

Summer time

We are enjoying our new backyard. We go swimming at least once a week. 

Jamie loves to run through sprinklers as well. It means he has the yard to himself because Brionney freaks out when they are on. 

He loves to hold his breath under the water. He is proud to show anyone who will stop to look.

Once the sprinklers are off, B is right out there with him. She's not afraid to get wet out there but put her in the tub and it's WWII again to get her wet.

Ivins

Well, it must be home because B's already started her rampage. Nail polish all over her and the new kitchen chairs. Daddy discovered her and you can see how happy he is. I couldn't stop laughing. Came right off the chair Jason had to work a bit harder to get it off B, himself, and the tub.

 

This was not so funny. I had spent over an hour cleaning both bathrooms. They needed a good deep scrub. Then I jumped in the shower. B comes in to me not 10 minutes later with bright blue on her shirt. I called to get Dad up and take care of it. This is what he found. 

 Jamie's toothpaste all over the sink...

 ... and the toilet...

...and the counter. I was so mad I couldn't even speak to the girl. Daddy made her clean it up- yeah. Then he wiped it all down to make sure- the man really does love me.

Playing

I guess we played dress-up. Jamie is the Daddy or a cowboy.

Miss B here must be ... What wears a cowboy hat and flip-flops while holding a bottle of Bubbles?

Grandpa had some stumps pulled up. Jamie loved playing in the hole. He was fun to watch. From the house you'd only see the top of his head bobbing up and down now and then.

He wanted to dive into the hole. Lucky for him, he landed feet first with his arms in the air.

TaDa! He was covered head to toe every night. He had dirt in places I had never seen before. He thought it was so awesome to slide down the side on the hole "just like the slides at the park." Not really but he convinced his sister it was so.

We are still here...

Jamie has graduated from Preschool. He is starting Kindergarten this Fall- and he's SO excited.

This is Jamie with his teacher Mrs. Crosby.

In celebration of Summer, we hit the lake. FREEZING!!! It had not had a chance to warm yet. 

But we still took full advantage of the water. 

This is Mom and Jamie... yes he is floating all by himself... yes he was freakin' out a bit.

Grandpa lost his hat as we sped around the lake. Jason was the hero and went in after it.

It was quite the site.

Ever the cheerleader, Hanna cheered him on. Go Jason!!!

Happy Birthday Jamie!!!

Jamie is 5!!!

 If you can notice he is not excited at all.
He got lots of new cars and a cool track along with Legos of course.

And for a super surprise- he got a ride on a helicopter with Dad.

He was stoked. When he realized what was going to happen his eyes got huge and he broke out with a grin.

He had a blast.

Happy Birthday Buddy!!!

Easter

We had a fun Easter with lots of cousins in town.

We had a massive Easter egg hunt with everyone. Uncle Jason was to keeper of the door until we were all ready.

Everyone was lined up and antsy to get outside...

Happy Easter!!!
