The First day of Preschool!

Jaxon started Preschool on September 3rd. He was SO excited to go - he had been asking for weeks when he got to go to school. Lindsay Smith in our ward was starting a preschool this year, so we were excited to have a 3 year old class so close to home!! When i picked Jaxon up, he kept telling me he got put in time out! (On the first day of school?!? - this is going to be a long year!! ) After talking to Lindsay, i found out he really didn't get put in timeout. He was just told that he needed to be quieter and keep his hands to himself. (Apparently him & McKay hit it off good!) Hopefully he won't be the troublemaker of the class!! He had so much fun and kept asking when he could go back to school with Mrs. Lindsay!

Going into preschool on the first day.

Jax remembered exactly where his hook was to hang up his backpack.

Jaxon didn't even cry when i left- what a big guy!

**Jax - you are such a cutie. I can't believe that you are going to preschool! It seems like it was only yesterday i held you in my arms as a newborn!! I am so glad that you enjoyed your first day. I was kind of sad to leave you! I love you so much and hope you find a lot of joy in learning new things!**

2 Buck Tuesdays!

For the month of August Thanksgiving point had a special, on Tuesday's everything was only $2. What a steal!! We went 3 times - twice to the children's garden & once to the Dinosaur Museum. Jaxon really had fun each time we went - Millie was happy to be along for the ride. The first time we went we went to the Children's Garden with Grandma Krupa, Sarah, Josh, Mckenna, Madi & Lauren. It was SO hot & busy - but the kids still had fun. We mostly just let them play in the water.

Me & Mills trying to stay out of the sun! It was WAY too hot!!

The next week we went to the Dinosaur Museum. We went with my Friends LeAnn & Krista and their kids. We had never been before, it was good - Jax really enjoyed himself. It was So busy - I definitely need to take him back when school is in and we can look at everything better.

Olivia, Ryder & Jaxon

Jaxon playing in the sand - it was so busy, there was hardly any room (or sand) to play.

Cute face buddy!!

Me, Millie, LeAnn & Krista (Jaxon took this picture for us, he did pretty well - for a 3 year old!)

The last Tuesday of August we went with LeAnn & Ryder back to the Children's gardens. This time was so much better. It was cooler and a lot less busy (School had started). We got to walk all through the gardens before we had a picnic and let the kids play in the water.

The waterfalls were so pretty!

I love this picture of Millie & Jaxon

BFF's - Jax & Ry

Jaxon is always into "posing" for his pictures!

What a silly goof!

Rolling down the hill.

Me & Jax

Ryder is such a good little boy - what a cutie!

Playing around in the water

We had so much fun - hopefully next year they do it again!!

Dirt Bike

Jaxon loves Dirt bikes right now. If you ask him what he want's for his birthday he says a little dirt bike - um, i don't think so. (Probably doesn't help that he is always looking at them online with his dad.) A few nights ago he snuck outside into the backyard to sit on HIS big bike. (once again he is just in his undies?!?)Pretending to fill up the tank with the hose.

Kick-starting it.Just going for a ride!

About a month ago, Uncle Josh was giving Jax a "ride" on the dirt bike. Jax thought it was so fun & they looked so cute. When we looked out the window this is what we saw:

Thanks Josh for always being so good to Jaxi-bug!

Grandma Keele

I found this video that Kent's cousin (Sharon) made after Grandma Keele's funeral. (You need to pause the music on my playlist at the bottom of the page) When i watch this it makes me remember what a special lady Evelyn was. She was so funny and could always make you laugh. Random things i remember about her are: Playing hollywood, dice, crocheted slippers & hats, jigsaw puzzles, potato salad, camping, coffee, ginger snaps, quilting, the blue jacket she always wore, the brown car she drove (duster?) then the silver one, coming into Lehi harts on a Sunday morning to get her paper, bbq's, Lehi park, giving people the "bird" - aka the family salute, shaving her head (after she started losing it to the chemo), she would always draw on Kent's mom's tablecloth (Kent would get the blame - he he!!), fun, exciting, family, she LOVED her grandkids, wonderful, kind, loving, STRONG, missed, never forgotten.
