First Day of Preschool

Jack started preschool this week. He is going to the same preschool that Dallin and Thomas attended and I know that he will have a great experience and love going there just like they did.

On his first day, I pulled up and he said "Thanks for the ride mom." He was ready to march right in and get started - no worries in the world. When I picked him up the first thing he said to me was "Hi mom. I had fun!" It looks like he's off to a good start.

2 months

I just had to share these pictures of my adorable baby who is now two months old. We love him to pieces and feel so blessed to have him in our family.

First Day of School

Dallin and Thomas started school last week. Dallin is now a big first grader and Thomas leaves me everyday for Kindergarten. (Weren't they just babies yesterday? How did this happen?!?)

They both have nice teachers and are loving school so far. I'm sure another great year is ahead.

Tad's quilt

I started a quilt for Tad months ago, but before I even got finished piecing it, Jack was completely attached, so I decided to save it and finish it for him later and make a different one for the new little guy. I finally finished it yesterday. The piecing went really quickly, but it took me forever to get up the motivation to get it basted, quilted and bound. I quilted it in straight lines from top to bottom on my machine and I am really pleased with how it turned out. I think it is a cute little quilt for a baby boy.

This is the front.

And this is the back.

Deja vu

I was in the kitchen the other day with Jack and had a deja vu moment, so I had to snap this picture. This reminded me of a scene a few years ago that also prompted a Kodak moment.

I guess some things never change.

Swimming Lessons

Dallin, Thomas, and Jack all just finished a session of swimming lessons. All of them did really well and passed their levels. They loved being able to go swimming every day for two weeks and they had really nice teachers.

The boys before their last day of lessons.

Jack in the pool.

Thomas came over to say "hi."

Dallin's teacher was really good and he had a blast with Dallin. Dallin was a little daredevil and his teacher could throw him around and help him do all sorts of tricks. Needless to say, Dallin LOVED it!!!!! Here he is getting thrown up for a swan dive.

This was the big finish. A bit more of a belly flop than a dive, but he still came up smiling!!

It was a good couple of weeks.

Introducing . . .

Our new little Tad. It is hard to believe it has been almost six weeks since this sweet little miracle came to live with our family.

Couldn't you just eat him up?!?!

This was taken the day he turned one month old.

The "Starting Five". This is it - - there will be no bench!!!

Well, unless someone wanted to give us a little girl. We would probably take one of those.
