Hailey's First Day of Kindergarten

Wow!  It's hard to believe Hailey has hit the big milestone of Kindergarten.  I'm sure everyone thinks this as their kids start school.  But, it really is crazy.  I am so excited for her, but it does confirm that someday she will grow up on me and I won't get to have her smiling face around every day.

Hailey started yesterday, but on Tuesday she went to get her hair cut. And by Wednesday morning she could hardly contain herself as she woke up bright and early (not a normal event for her).  She hurried and put her new outfit on.  We had the perfect pink sparkly Converse shoes, but she hasn't worn them all summer and they ended up being too small.  So the pink flip flops had to do.  We got her hair done and then she had breakfast.  Bo gave her a blessing and then they were off.  He dropped her off on the way to work.

She came home telling us all about how she got to color, cut, and listen to her teacher read a story.  She made three new friends at recess.

This morning was about the same, but there were no nerves she was just excited.  We are so excited for you Hailey and hope you continue enjoying school and making new friends.  We love you!

Crazy...Any ideas?

So, yesterday after Conrad got out of the bath he showed me some weird red spots on his feet.  I was like those are weird looking and thought I'd better watch them.  About an hour and a half later I checked them again and all around each of his toes and the top of the ball of his food was kinda getting wrinkly.  And the whole ball of his foot was turning really red (although it wasn't really hurting him). I thought....wow that changed fast. I'd better go get this looked at.

I just ran to an ugent care here in town because I was spreading so fast.  We saw a PA and she had no idea what it was.  I'm pretty sure it was a bug bite, and the antibiotic is working well.  His foot is looking tons better.  It's just so weird how it spread across and around his toes and ball of his foot.  Anyone seen anything like it?

I traced the marks in pen to watch it and make sure it wasn't spreading anymore.  But I didn't trace around the tips of all the toes but those went weird too.

 Notice he has webbed toes...I think they're so cute :)  He likes to show them off too.

More Summer Stuff

We went to Bear lake for a family reunion with Bo's mom and siblings.  It was a lot of fun.  I never knew how great Bear Lake was especially for kids.  We went to the North Beach.  You can walk out forever without the water getting deep and the sand is so nice.  There are no rocks.  It is also pretty warm.  I am a huge wimp and I even got in.  All of the kids got in too.  They LOVED it.

Jack loved the sand and army crawling in the water

Conrad loved laying on his tummy and having the waves splash over him.

Hailey loved every part and even went out pretty far to swim

 If you look behind Hailey's head you can see how far out those people are and the water isn't even deep.

You may be wondering why we have life jackets on in such shallow water.  When you have 3 kids and only 2 parents it's nice to have a little more help :)  BTW-these life jackets are awesome.  The kids love wearing them.

Finally All 3 Looking and Smiling at the Camera!

I decided to try all of the kids together and we got a couple of pretty cute pics.  We even got Conrad smiling.

Jackson's 2 Year Pictures

I had a lot of fun taking Jack for his pictures.  He was so cute and loved every minute of it.  He just did what they said and smiled.  Here are the results.
