First day of preschool

Brady started preschool on tuesday and he absolutely loves IT!!! He was so excited all morning and it was torture waiting for 1230 to roll around. I had to work so I missed, i know bad mom. Thank goodness for my fabulous sisters. They save me on a regular basis and I am so so grateful. Amy stayed with the little girls. While YaYa drove him to school. THey were 15 minutes early, I know that would have never happened if I was driving. No one was there yet not even the teacher, The teacher came and he was the first kid there so he got first picks at which seat he wanted. That made him feel special. They painted in paint clothes. He painted a self portrait. Traced his hand and wrote his stats, 49 pounds and 46 inches. He is the tallest kid to attend his preschool, by 3 inches. He is only four. He is a big boy. I asked him about his day and he was so excited about everything. He said, "mom there is 4 boys and 4 girls, they are all nice and my friends. Except for the blue guy he is mean" Translated the little boy wearing blue tshirt. He is starting mature alot and does so good at church also. Hopefully this will help him even more at learning to be a big boy! I will post some pics when I get them:)

TImpanogas Cave

For Ella's birthday we hiked up to Timpanogas Cave! I love it there. I wish it didn't take so long to get there I would like to hike up and down that once a week. It is a workout. We got seperated from part of our group so I stayed behind. Once I found the lost party, we only had 30 minutes to get to the top. Its pretty insane. I felt like I was going good, good pace I was thinking I have to almost be half way. Then I noticed the little marker telling me I was 1/4 of the way. I did do it in a bout 25 minutes and I was walking as fast as could before it was considered running. Thank goodness for my long legs. I found the rest of my group and we were there on time.

There is my mom and nick(ella on shoulders) just a short way before cave. They dont let you take the little ones in, in backpacks!

Brady man was such a tough guy. He did it all by himself and did not complain a bit. I was so proud of him.

finished with the cave. You gotta sign the book so they know you were there.

The birthday girl in the cave. She wanted to be on her own, but you got to watch them close with all those rocks everywhere. They want to climb and lean on them.AHHH

There is Amy and baby kaison. He is 2 months old now. He was a very good boy. Not many kids can say that they went to timp that young. We were happy they could come.

Here is my mom in the cave. looking fabulous as ever. We were so happy grandma came on our little adventure.

Charlee in the cave. She hiked down with 3 backpacks gave my shoulders a rest. No I am not a mean mom she wanted too. She is always watchin out for me.

There is a tired daddy and one pooped birthday girl. She slept the whole way down and on the drive home. Power napping to finish her birthday festivities:)

All done, what a fun hike and the cave is so cool. I love things like that because it reminds you of the beauty all around you. Its crazy all the beautiful places we have close by and we dont take the oppurtunity to explore. I hope to take time, more often to enjoy the beauty all around us!
