She crawls!! Ty and Bingo

Back 2 Skool

YEA! House gets cleaned and STAYS cleaned!!!
Kids were all so excited to go to school this year, I have all 4 at Earhart. Jaxson's kindergarten teacher moved to 5th grade so he is with Ms. McLaughlin again, Grace in 4th grade with Ms. Mog, Bella got Grace's old teacher Mrs. Freund and Brock goes to pre-k in the afternoons with Ms. Luna and Ms. Jessica and carpools with his bestie Sara Bull!

BYU blue!

Amyarie, Mindy and DA made the kids these darling BYU pj's! The kids LOVE them! Thanks Gills! We love and miss you!

Tylie first meal

She has not been great with food so far, she gags a lot and after this first meal she threw up several times. I thought it was just coincidence but the next two times I fed her this oatmeal she has thrown it up again, we are thinking maybe an allergy?? Peas, carrots, brown rice and sweat potatoes...either gags or spits them out! Uh-0h, is this one gonna give me trouble? I hope so :)
(don't be fooled by the happy face, she is always smiling..she really hated it)

For some strange reason it had to be...he guided me to TENNESSEE

But I am still thirsty.....

Fun last trip for the summer with our family! We accompanied Derek on a water summit training. Lots of driving...lots of hotels...lots of swimming...lots of sight seeing..lots of fun!




and then there was the drive...



Knoxville was a actually a pretty city, we walked around the downtown area by our hotel and...
climbed up the sun sphere and played in the water fountains,
went to the art museum

and rode on the city trolley.
Funny story, the trolley seemed like a great place to ride around for awhile while Derek was in his class and get out of the hot sun. The bus driver warned us when we got on, to sit down the whole time Well, Grace decided to change seats at a stop and Brock followed after her when the bus was moving...he stopped in the middle of the road and turned around with EVERY ONE watching and warned us that if we got up out of our seats one more time...he would let us off at the next stop..now we are at least 15 miles from our hotel...The kids, INCLUDING BROCK, sat sooo still, at one point, someone came to sit in the back by us and Jaxson was so scared to move (between the bus driver and my glares of whichever one got us kicked off this trolley in the middle of no where would pay!) that he slid his body under the bar to make room next to him!! Ha Ha!! I told the kids this worked so well to keep them quiet and still that I was going to ask the Bishop to make this same announcement in the chapel!
