Addi's 1st day of Preschool

I can't believe it Addi is old enough to go to Preschool!! She was so excited yesterday morning.... she was ready a half hour early! Here are some pictures of her 1st day!

I think Addi's back pack is as big as she is!

Mason is ready too... He found a sucker in the dirt
If only I can keep her this excited the rest of her school career!

Bear Lake

This last weekend we went to Bear Lake with my family. We had a great time spending time with our family. We played at the beach, road on Miles's boat, played a lot with the cousins and had a lot of good food to eat! Thanks to Mom and Dad to makin' it possible to spend time together as a family! Spending time together is what a family reunion is all about!

The best part of the beach is you can stay in your PJ's and eat chips all day

Yummy!! Red Vines are the best thing I have ever had!

I am not going to say much as I am sitting here crying... thinking of how blest we are to have Addi and Mason in our lives!! I wanted to share some photos of Mason of where he came from and where he is now.

Marsh Lake

This last weekend we went to Marsh Lake in the Uintahs.... we went with Trent and Karryn and their family and with Jeremy's parents and Garret. We had a great time! On Thursday we headed up in the morning and stopped in Mountain View for a bite to eat. At Marsh Lake we set up camp and relaxed for a while. We then decided to go for a 4-wheeler ride; so we headed off down the road and then decided to take off on a trail. Soon Mason was asleep, Garret didn't want to ride on the 4-wheeler anymore so he hopped in the Ranger and soon Addi wanted in the Ranger too.

After the ride we came back to camp and made dinner, we roasted hotdogs. I don't usually like hotdogs but they always seem to taste better when roasted over a fire. After dinner we headed down to the lake to do a little fishing. It was so pretty and calm and watching the sunset was awesome.

After fishing we roasted marshmallows and hit the sack. The next day we woke up a little chilly and so Jeremy tried to start the furnace and (to make a long story short) there was a propane leak in the regulator and so Jeremy spent more than half the day running down to Mountain View and then Evanston to get parts to fix the trailor. So while Jeremy was taking care of this we stayed around camp and relaxed, the kids rode bikes and we even tried a little fishing while Jeremy and Trent were gone. Jaycee was to only one to catch a fish and all the kids were so excited to touch it. When the trailor was all fixed we went back out and did some more fishing... I even tried it a little (with Addi's help to real in the line) we didn't even get a nibble. I spent most of my time untangling my line and picking the moss off my hook.

We had another unsuccessful fishing trip and headed back to make tinfoil dinners. Jeremy made the fire plenty big and we let it die down a bit before putting our dinners on. Well it was still way hot and our dinners got a little crispy, but we still ate them and they were OK. We also made peach cobler and that was delicous! We sat around the camp fire, roasted marshmallows, did some star gazing and just relaxed the rest of the evening. The next day we rode our 4-wheelers out to a bridge that Jeremy had built for work. The kids enjoyed playing in the water and jumping all over the rocks trying not to fall in. We cruised around for awhile till we needed to head back and check out of our camp site. It was a fun get away and it was so beautiful and peaceful and cooler weather!

Addi all dressed up

The other night Addi and I went with Grandma Pitcher to a wedding reception. At the wedding reception Addi kept disappearing and every time we would find her she would be over by the bride and groom looking at the brides pretty dress. Well this morning she has a bunch of dress up clothes and came down stairs and said "Look mommy I'm getting married!" We then found her some flowers and her outfit is complete and ready for pictures!

A day at the swimming pool

Mason and Addi

Yesterday after I mowed Grandpa Bergeson's lawn we (Me, Addi, Mason and Grandma Pither)went to the swimming pool. We had a great time! Addi didn't want to stay in the kids area, she thought she was big stuff! Mason loved the water and was exhausted and fell asleep on Grandma Pitcher after swimming a while.

Jeremy and Addi clearing Grandpa Maycock's ground

After a day of swimming Jeremy brought this backhoe home to help Grandpa Maycock start to clear some ground. Addi calls it the "baby backhoe".

Blogging??

Camping up Line Creek
Addi on the clean up crew

Today is one of those days.... Mason just wants me to hold him all day and Addi is trying my patience!! We are in the process of potty training and between drawing on things that shouldn't be drawn on and shredding paper Addi has changed her clothes about 5 times already today. I guess it is called being a mom.

I thought I had better join in on the fun and start blogging.... this is my test blog. Hopefully no one will make fun of me. (Jeremy already has!)
