Preschool

My little Leila is off to preschool and so thrilled!  I don't think she really understood what was going on to be honest.  We missed the open house so she had never met her teachers and was too little to remember when Kenya was going there.  As I was taking her pictures out front a bus drove by and she said "Oh no!  That's my bus!"  That morning she was running to get her "kackpack" on when the older kids were heading to school "I'm going to school!"  She was a little confused but excited and went into Miss Lisa's without hesitation.











She is going with her cousins Scarlett and Emmie. 




Now I get this little cutie all to myself for a couple hours a couple days a week.  We're both excited about that!

Snowbird

Our summer stay at Snowbird did not disappoint.  We love it up there!  The only disappointing thing was that Mark wasn't able to be up very much because of work and the kids were in school this year so we weren't able to stay the full time either.  We enjoyed what we could though, it was just our family and Cami's family which was nice to have a little more room to spread out since we both have four kids now.

We did the activities one afternoon.  Kenya mastered the rock wall, she touched the top of all three sides.



Some swim time at the pool, Leila cracks me up.  She just did those number ones all on her own.  She did learn some cheers for Charlie's football game so we recorded her doing "We are, Eagles!!"  




When we went back for some more that night was when she climbed all three sides.  She did it in Luke's shoes that were two sizes too big!









Exhausted after a fun filled day of play.

Cami and I hiked to the peak one morning with Cora.  She was an angel, didn't make a peep, just slept and took in the saints.











It was the first weekend of Oktoberfest so we went out one night to do the Alpine Slide and other rides, just as everyone was about to get on their rides it started pooring rain.  We made a mad dash back to the Kinderhaus and stopped at the Inn for some hot chocolate first.








These coolers provided hours of entertainment.


These two were the only ones left at the pool one day, Kaia was cute to play with Leila.
