School starts, camping and Hailey's 6th birthday

school started up again! 

Hailey is in 1st grade and Tati is in 3rd!!

I dropped the girls off by the playground and it was crazy busy so I had to leave.. but I had a thought that I should go back.. so I parked my car nearby and walked back to where the kids line up with their class. Then, I found Hailey all by herself crying.. poor girl; she lost her class and didn't know where to go.

So glad I followed my prompting to go back

 I didn't have my camera or phone on me, so luckily I ran into a friend who took our picture :)

 Back to School swim party!! we had the girls friends the Brians and Matix and Mckenzie over for some swimming fun!

 Labor Day weekend we went camping with the Morrow family in Heber and our good friends the Organs and Ulrichs.

 Levi had these fun boys to entertain him

 The giant swing never dissapoints

 Uno is in heaven when we're camping.. he even had some friends with him.. Jazz and Tootsie (Ulrichs), Raja (Organs) and Tuff (neighbors in Heber)

 Hailey had a birthday, shout hooray!! She turned 6!! so we did a small friend party for her: decorating cupcakes and opening presents, playing games, and watched a movie

 Hailey is such a sweetheart!! She is so organized and particular. She is great at gymnastics, dance, singing, playing piano, drawing, and being a good big and little sister! She is so helpful around the house.. sometimes she even will surprise me and do something nice on her own will.. like make my bed!!

She has a lot of friends and is such a good friend to all! I am so glad I have this girl in my life :)

 preschool has been going great with these kids! we did a naked egg science project and the kids loved it

 Tati did her yearly pulmonary test, echo, and EKG for Dr. Graham

 Hailey got a dress matching with Mckenna for an early birthday present (designed and made by yours truly)

Our good friends the Olsons came to visit!! we went to the butterfly wonderland with them and the kids loved it! I thought it was pretty neat and pretty expensive.. but glad we went!
