Jaxon had such a great time in preschool and will miss his teachers and friends, but he is soo excited to start kindergarten.
Makade did very well in 1st grade. We were very lucky and got a great teacher. He is excited to start 2nd grade.
Okay, so I am so far behind on my blogging. I am going to try and catch up over the next little bit.
I figured I should get these pictures posted since school is starting back up next week already.....

Happy Birthday Makade!

I know this post is sooo late. Makade turned 7 in June. We had a great day. He got the bike he wanted and we had a party with all of our family. He wanted brownies and ice cream instead of cake. It was a great time.
We feel so blessed to have Makade in our family. He is such a good kid. He is so sweet and a big help. He is always making us laugh. We love you Makade....

California Vacation




We were able to do our family vacation a couple of weeks ago. We went to California and had such a great time.
We started off by driving to St. George and going to my cousin, Cheyenne's wedding. Then we drove to San Diego. That first night we got there we of course had to go swimming at the hotel. The next day we went to the San Diego Zoo. The kids had so much fun there. They loved seeing all the animals. This is where Jaxon had to buy his Safari hat. He loves stuff like that.
Next we were off to Sea World. That was a lot of fun. We went to all the shows and of course sat in the splash zone. The boys loved that part. The girls not so much. They fed the dolphins and pet the sting rays. It was great.
The next day we started our drive to Anaheim. On our way we stopped at Lagoona Beach and played there for a while. We had a good time jumping the waves and burying everyone. That night we went to the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament. The boys thought that was really cool.
The next three days were spent in Disneyland. It really is one of the happiest places on earth. This was our first time taking our kids there. They LOVED it. They loved going on all the rides. The boys got to do the Jedi Training, which for them was the best part. Jaxon got to fight Darth Vader and Makade got to fight Darth Mal. Alex loved going to see the Princesses. Brooklyn love the Dumbo ride. She was just happy to be there. I was glad the kids would do every ride they could. I worried a little that they would be scared, but they weren't. They loved it.
We ran in to some friends at dinner in Down Town Disney one night. That was a lot of fun for the kids. They got to go do some rides together. We also ran into my step-brother Andy and his wife and kids. We watched the fire works with them.
Over all this was such a great vacation. The kids were so good and had such a good. time. We can't wait to go back......
