William's First Day of Preschool

Today was William's first day at preschool.  He was excited to go and see what kind of fun they would have.

He likes his teach, Ms. Amy, and all the fun toys that they have in the classroom.

(That's his "cheese" face!)

Last few weeks of fun

Two weekends ago our friends Stephanie, Eli, Corbin, and Zane came to visit us.  We had lots of fun going to Lagoon.  The boys rode on almost everything.

The boys also had a sleep over campout on the couch.  This was William's first sleepover.

After everyone left on Sunday we had a quiet day at home. The kids spent a good amount playing in the sandbox.

Weekend Open House

We had an open house this weekend so that everyone could come and see our new place.  While everything was still clean I got some pictures.

William's Pictures

A while back Grandma Rhonda gave William his very own kids digital camera.  Every so often he fills the memory chip in it and brings it to me to download the pictures.  Here are the highlights from the last few months.

Stuff on the kitchen counter.  (I think he got a shot of a UFO here, because I have no idea what the dark thing in the window is.)

Daddy "jumping" Lilly.  She was jealous of William.

These are pictures of Lilly's room at Grandma and Grandpa's house.  William was supposed to be taking a nap, but obviously he wasn't sleepy.

Weekend Slip-n-Slide

We had a fun weekend.  On Saturday we took the kids to the aquarium.  Of course it wasn't until we were already there that I realized that my camera was broken.  So, I didn't get any pictures of them.  Bummer...

After the aquarium we went to mom and dad's house to celebrate Paul's birthday.  William decided that we had to wear birthday hats.  Mom kept trying to get Lilly to stand still wearing her hat long enough so that she could get a picture.  It wasn't working to well.

When dinner was done grandpa set up the slip-n-slide for the kids.  They loved it.

On Sunday we took the kids up to the mountains.  We headed up to the Snowbird ski resort.  It was beautiful weather and so nice to get up above the city for a bit.  William wanted to have a ride on the bungee jump/trampolines so I got him a ticket.  Since my camera was broken I couldn't get any good shots, but we had William's camera.  Once I find the cord I will upload those shots.  We also rode the tram up to the top of the mountain.  The view was great.

Kids Being Kids

What happens when you buy a new couch with a lot of pillows and cushions on it? 

The kids use it to build a tent, and then pile everything up to jump on it.

Family Photos and Fathers Day

Each year on Mother's Day our church offers family photos.  Yesterday at our Father's Day picnic they had the pictures ready for everyone to take home.

Here's the best of our shots.



It's so hard to get both kids to smile at the same time.  Or at least not make silly faces.  :-)

We had a good weekend.  Paul and I managed to get most of the boxes unpacked at the new house and we had a visit from Liz and Dale Trongale.  We're hoping to have everything settled and ready for next weekend so that we can have the family over for a bar-b-que and to watch the fireworks during West Fest.  They set up the carnival on the other side of the park from our house so we should have a pretty good view from our side.
