Almost a month later

Dallin

Soccer is going well. He had his first Jog-A-Thon a couple weeks ago. He was very excited that Troy and Garbiella (HSM) and Hannah Montana were there. (Obviously not the real characters). His first school pictures were taken last week and I can only imagine how they are going to turn out! He is a funny kid that does what he wants. I checked on him last night and he was wearing an authentic russian hat (the kind that you can tie the ear pieces up or pull them down to cover your ears and neck) that my parents got him on their European cruise, in bed. Dead alseep. When I took it off of him, it was drenched!! At least I know it will keep him warm in the winter.  

Kailee

Where do I begin with her???? She loves gymnastics and practices on my couch. Preschool is still going well and haven't had to convince her to go...yet. What else, oh yes, she got hit by a car and fell into a pool. Luckily, not in the same day. Those are longer stories, so they will have to be later posted or actually told in person. She is fine and healthy. No hospital visits, just stories to tell.

Tylie

Thank goodness for a good baby. She is finally walking, which is really weird. She is still very small and doesn't look like she should be walking.  Last Thursday, tubes were put into her ears and she had an adenoidectomy. She is an amazing little girl! We thought for sure we were going to be spending the night, but we were able to come home the same day. She is also my little entertainer. My mom came up (to help me out since we had no idea whether or not we were staying overnight) and Tylie kept her laughing. The little girl can pull the best faces. 

Accidents Happen

The past couple days have left marks that show accidents do happen. The other day, I put Tylie in her high chair. When I went to get her tray to "lock" her in, she stood up and fell head first onto the floor. When I picked her up, all I saw was a red mark on her forehead and nose. The next morning, she had a big scab on the tip of her nose. The picture of Ty was taken 3 days after, so you can imagine how big it was (sorry about the milk dribbling out, it was 10:30pm and we were trying to get her back to sleep). 

Then last night, we had some friends over and while we were walking them out, Kailee burst into blooding murder screaming. Gus brought her in and yelled for me to take her. Her lip was bleeding and she wouldn't calm down. The story she told me was that she hit Dallin's head while playing hide and seek. From Dallin and his little friend, her head bounced of his stomach (abs of steel?????) and her face hit the rock pillar outside. Needless to say, I was pretty nervous to check the inside of her lip. Luckily, her tooth didn't cut through, but her gum is bruised. The pictures are pretty sad. It doesn't even look like Kailee. She is totally fine now. As I am posting this, she is racing her stick pony with her little friend against Dallin and his buddy. Amazing how fast kids recuperate!!

After School Activities

Dallin loves soccer. He loves to run, kick things, and go crazy, so what other sport is better for a 5 year old boy? His team is a bunch of boys from our ward and most are his little buddies. They all have fun playing together. Kailee was obsessed with Olympic Gymnastics this summer. She would sit there and watch them do everything. When her first day came to go to her gymnastics class, she thought that I was taking her to Beijing.  Funny how little minds think. She was really good at the balance beam. I was quite surprised how easily it came to her. Even when she was told to hop along it, she had perfect stance and balance! Here are a few pictures of the kiddos doing what they love.
