funny

While doing Lily's hair today she asked me why one of our friends didn't have a baby like we do. I told her that their family was done having kids. She then told me, "You should have 5 more kids mom". I said "really." She said "Yeah, it would be funny!" I told her it would be funny, because I would end up on the funny farm.

Labor Day Weekend

Patrick, Lily, Garrett, Dan, Tobler, Reuben, Sivai and Austin at the Iron County parade, longest parade I've EVER been too. The kids loved every second of it.
Lily and Annabelle playing.

Most of us in front of the Cedar 2nd and 8th building for Amelia's blessing.

Playing charades

Fresh basil, mozzarrella and tomato sauce
"The Pizza Cart" Patrick wants to build one of his own. It's run by some friends from our old ward in Cedar City. If you're ever going through Cedar on a Friday or Saturday stop by for some awesome wood grilled pizza. They're parked in front of Ace hardware on main.


We headed down to Cedar City over Labor Day for Amelia's blessing. We decided to bless her in the Patricks parent's ward, the ward he grew up in, so that most of his family would be able to attend and see her for the first time. It was a great vacation for our family filled with great times with cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents.

1st Day



School started today, Kindergarten for Austin and 2nd grade homeschooling for Sivai. We decided Sivai needed a year at home and I'm doing the K12 program with him. It's great to have the resources and the support from some of my friends that home school. Two questions into his day Sivai announced, "Boy, this 2nd grade stuff is hard!" I thought he did great considering the K12 program is more advanced than our local schools.
Austin wanted to ride the bus his first school and off he went. He had a fun time but tomorrow he is insisting that I follow the bus and help him get to his classroom so he doesn't get lost again. I'm sure I just don't remember but it seems like he is much more calm about school than Sivai was. It's great to have him learning and growing.
