Garrett & Alex

Alex

Garrett

Garrett & Alex started 2nd grade on Monday. They were so excited for school to start. They have been placed into a 2nd/3rd grade split class. They have 3rd graders in there class and will be learning on an advanced level. They are very excited to be in a class with 3rd graders. They have Mrs Markham and they are already loving her.

Stake Lagoon Day!!



Rachel took the boys and went to Lagoon with a couple of our neighbors. Michael and their husbands were gone to Youth Confrence. So it was a Mom and Kids day at Lagoon! We had an eventful day: Alex got stung by a bee in the eyelid, Alex and his friend Daxton took off and got lost from the rest of us. Those are just a couple of things that happened but all in all it was a fun day!! (sorry not very many pics my camera died)

The Kay Aquatic Center



During the summer the kids and their friends were HOT so they wanted to run through the sprinklers and play in the pool. This is what they came up with. They had 3 pools and 2 slides and they turned the trampoline into a splash pad by putting the sprinkler under it. They had so much fun!!

Dinosaur Park!!



During the summer we had a family party at the Dinosaur Park. We were celebrating Michael's Uncle Scotts 60th Birthday. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed playing with our cousins. Uncle Scott had some friends that cooked us all an awesome dutch oven dinner. We love the Dinosaur Park!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEX!!!



Jex turned 4 on June 16. He has grown up so much and is doing so well. He loves the movie "Cars" so he picked out the cupcake cake and of course that is what he picked. He had a fun time at his party and thank you to everyone that came and celebrated his birthday with us.

Bees Game






Over the summer we went to a Bees Baseball Game with Rachels sister and her kids. The kids had a great time. It started to rain after the first inning so they covered the field and we waited for the rain to stop so they could play again. It was a lot of fun, we wished we could have gone more during the summer but with Rachel working nights it is kind of hard.

First Grade Luau




Garrett and Alex had a Luau at school on Friday. They had each kid bring some type of fruit and they had mothers come and cut up all the fruit and serve it to them on plates. They set up the room like they were eating on the ground sitting indian style. They had made grass skirts and lais and fire sticks. It was so much fun. They had also made volcanos which they set off later in the day. They taught them a dance and they performed that. It was very well done. We are very sad to see the school year end. Mrs. Baer has been an Awesome teacher and has truely been a fun teacher for the twins. They are very good readers and we have her to thank for that.
