Movies at the Capital

Kylie and Bailey were invited to a Real Soccer game with the Barons so we took the boys to see Frozen on the lawn of the capital building in Salt Lake. While we were waiting for the movie to start, we toured the building. It was fun to see everything. It's a beautiful building.

Utes Opening Game

Dad got three tickets from work to the Utes Opening Football Game. He's been rotating taking each of the kids and it was Kylie's turn to go with him. He also took Uncle Scott. They had a great time and I think we have a new Utes Super Fan!

Jaxon's Big Haircut

Jaxon got a big hair cut before school started. The hairstylist chopped it. All his cute curls were gone but he LOVES it. He looks so grown up and happy. He's such a handsome little guy.

First Day of School

Today was the first day back to school. Kade started 2nd grade and still has two teachers. He's doing the dual immersion program and loves it. Kylie and Bailey are in the 5th grade and this year were put in separate classes. Bailey got the teacher she wanted and Kylie got the friend she wanted. Jaxon had kindergarten testing this week then starts school next week. Its going to be a great year! 

Kade's 8th Bday Glow Party

For Kade's birthday party, we thought it would be fun to do a glow in the dark party.  We bought different

Invites

Cub Scouts First Derby

Kade has been so excited to go to cub scouts and their first activity was a rocket launch derby. He was pretty proud of his and then it went so high it disappeared over the houses. The leaders told him it was the highest they had ever seen.

Paul Helped him make it.

It was awesome!

Happy 8th Birthday

Its great to be eight. For Kade's 8th birthday, mom had to go back to work but before she left, Kade got breakfast in bed: eggs, bacon and toast. Chey took him with his siblings to see Planes at the theater and then Dairy Queen Blizzards. That night, Kade chose dinner at Chili's. Then we came home for presents.

Jaxon starts Soccer

Somebody started soccer today and even got his favorite number, nine. In his world, everything is in nines: nine hundred, minty-nine, nine million, etc. Five year olds learning soccer is one of the funniest/cutest things ever.

Ogden Temple Open House

This afternoon we went with Grandma & Grandpa to the Ogden Temple Open House 💜 

Hiking Mt. Timp

Today bailey and Paul hiked Mt. Timpanogos together. It's 16 miles round trip and took them a little under 10 hours to complete. There was hail during some parts and the top was freezing. I'm pretty proud of my tough 11 year old for accomplishing this. She's definitely tougher than me and most people I know.
