California

We took a quick trip to California right before school started. Tally was crazy about playing in the water as usual, and Holden was still very cautious. We had so much fun with Heather and her family playing at the beach, eating and relaxing.

 

 

 

 

 

First Day of School!!

 

I felt a shirt hit my seat, so I turned around to see this! I laughed so hard, but I know the feeling. It's the same one I get after church. First day of school was a huge adjustment for Tally. School started at 8:30 and ended at 3:15. That's a LONG day for a little kid. He is used to waking up when he wants, playing outside for endless hours,and watching cartoons, so when he had to wake up early to eat and shower, (without cartoons)then go to school for 7 hours, then come home to practice piano, do a few chores, and eat dinner, my quess is he didn't know what to think of his new life. He will adjust though in a week or two. We all do!

 

 

BIGGG YAWWNNN!!! Getting up early is HARD to do...

Fun day for Motorcycles..

 

I think the pictures say it all.. We went to ride in the desert, and had fun fun fun!!! Tally had one or two good spills and got really dirty. I did a "pop O' wheelie" by accident and Holden told me I was "AWESOME"! I think I earned a little respect that day:) We can't wait to do it again and again and again.

I'm still trying to grow up!

 

Why the speed thing??

Brad, Ryan and Tyler Ryan was able to participate in a charitable event called the Utah Fast Pass. He was super exited to speed and race for four days straight. I hate speed so I stayed home and let the boys be boys without Melissa whining the whole time. "Slow down!! You're scaring me!! This isn't fun!!" Those are the things I would be yelling.

JuSt SomE THougHts

Today I felt grateful! Grateful for my two feet, my healthy kids, something fun to do, and money to do it with, good friends, a kind husband, and just being alive. I love you all!!

RAging WAters

Once a year I like to go to a water park. I think they are pretty fun especially now that Tal can, and wants to go on every single slide. We went early and didn't have to wait in a single line. We went on the cliff dive which goes straight down and poor Holdy always gets left out. He was trying to sneak up the stairs without me seeing so he could go on it too, but of course he is still too little. We passed a boy much bigger than Holden who was crying about being scared to ride down a slide in a tube and Holden walked up to him and said, "hey little boy, it's not scary" the bigger boy looked at Holden and began to cry even louder.

Hiking

The other day we went hiking in Big cottonwood Canyon. Holdy wanted to wear his pajamas, bring his little skate board, and play his air guitar the whole way. (which wasn't very far, since we had to stop every ten steps and inspect EVERY little bug, rock, twig, and foot print).
