Horses and Trampolines

On Mother's Day Logen, Kambree, and Kya decided to feed Grandpa Larry's horses. They were grabbing whatever grass they could to feed them. They were having so much fun.

While Logen was feeding the horses the others were jumping on the trampoline.

What a fun day it was.

I am Walking!

Graden turned 11 months old today. He started walking two weeks ago. He was only walking a few steps then, but last night he walked from our couch to the TV, which is probably around 20 steps or more. He thinks he needs to walk everywhere now. I love when they start to walk but then I hate it too. It makes me feel like he is not a baby anymore. But that is what happens, they grow like weeds!! I don't even have any good pics of him walking yet, I am terrible at taking pictures anymore. With Dagen I have everything, but it kind of decreased with each child. Sorry kids!

Play Ball!!

Dagen started playing T-Ball this summer. He plays on the Pirates in Mapleton. He has been so excited about every game he goes to. He was playing first (I mean, standing on first) because that is where they all stand, the kids would throw it to him to get runner out but he was busy watching the batter ran to him instead. Concentration is a hard concept when there is so much going on. We love to go watch him, the kids are so excited to show off all their new tricks. And as parents it is pretty good entertainment.

Dagen is the one playing with his ear this photo.

Hey batter, swing batter!!!

GO PIRATES!!

Look Mom, No Training Wheels!!

So I have been trying to get Dagen to TRY to ride his bike without training wheels for a long time. He would always tell me that he would let me take them off when he turns 6, because then he will be big enough. Well I took them off, while he threw a fit on the grass and screamed at me. I think the neighbors thought I was beating him the way he was squealing. Anyway, I took them off and sent him on his way. He rode perfect the first time he got on. And he hasn't had anykind of accidents yet. (knock on wood) Now it is impossible to get him off of his bike. He wants to ride it constantly. Hey I don't mind, he is getting exercise, better than playing video games.

Graden is a Stinker!!!

So last night Graden woke up at 2:30 am thinking that it was time to be awake for the day. Well I went in and cuddled with him for about an hour. He finally fell asleep and I put him back in his bed. I didn't even make it out the door before he was awake and crying. I decided to put him in with Chad and I so I could get some sleep. That didn't work either. He just wanted to play. So I finally gave up and we went down stairs at 5:30 this morning. He just played with the toys and I tried to get caught up on some shows. Around 7:00 he just stopped playing laid on his blanket and fell asleep. What a brat!!! So I am a bit exhausted today, but that is what being a mom is all about. Here are the pics of him where he fell asleep this morning.

Though he is a stinker, we still love him!! And we think he is kind of cute too!

Dagen's Preschool Program

Wednesday night Dagen had a Preschool Program. They sang lots of songs and did some dances. He was having so much fun. He was really excited to show everyone what he had been learning in school. He has been singing these everywhere. We go for walks and he will sing to us so we know what he is learning. I have really enjoyed Achiever Preschool. They are one of the best learning establishments in Spanish Fork.

Just a picture of the program, it doen't come across very good on here. Sorry!!

Just about ready to start. They are waiting eagerly to get going and show off all there talents.

This Dagen and Tanner dancing to the song of Rig-a-Jig-Jig. It was really cute. They were both laughing and having a great time.

The top picture is a self portrait that Dagen drew the first week of school. And the bottom is another self portrait that he drew last week. Also, they measured them at the same time as drawing these. He has grown exactly 2" since the beginning of the year.

This was a dance that they did called Mr. Bear. Dagen was a bear and he was hibernating for the winter. It was really cute to watch the snow fall on them and then spring came and melted the snow and the bears woke up from long winter nap.

Dagen we are do proud of you. You have really grown up this past year. We love you!!
