Labor Day Fun!

While most people got to go on vacation for the whole weekend, we had to stay home so that Jason and I could teach Elders Quorum and Relief Society lessons. We were so excited about this, ha ha! But hey, we got it over with and it went great for both of us.
We wanted to go camping but the weather said that it was going to be rainy so instead we headed up past Park City to 'Rockport' to a reservoir that we had never been to and we went swimming and hung out on the beach. The kids loved playing in the sand/mud and just having a bit of freedom. It was funny and kind of annoying though, because they didn't like getting muddy, except for Morgan she loved every minute of it.

So yeah, as you can see Jason and the kids went swimming, I made sure from the shore, that noone drowned.

Morgan is trying to share with Henry in this picture, but I think that he is too cold from being in the water. What a nice sister, eh?

Here's our crazy big girl! She had so much fun and tried to do everything that her daddy did. What a competitive little girl, she takes after daddy on that one!

We had a great time with our little family! It's nice to get one last little water day in before it starts getting way too cold!

Henrys First Day of Preschool!

I told you that he is growing up! He was so excited to go to preschool today. Daddy came with us to take Henry and he ended up just running off, I could barely get a few pictures of him.
(I've been madly blogging lately, but now I think that things are going to be slowing down as far as big things going on, so I can take a bit of a break.) Henry is going to the same preschool that Katelyn went to, so he is kind of familiar with it. She was excited to be the big sister and fill him in on the rules of Ms. Amys classroom. I don't think that he really paid too much attention.

Henry and his neighbor friend Becca with Ms. Amy!

After school the kids all came out and were so excited to tell us all about their day at preschool!

Henry has a lot of friends in his class so he is way excited for that! The teacher said that he was great as far as potty training went, yeah! He does need to practice on listening a bit better though! We'll work on that part!

Finally Potty Trained!

We thought that this day would never happen, but low and behold it has arrived. Henry is now officially a big boy, I can't believe it either!
Warning, some of the following pictures may not be suitable for children-he he! He likes to watch himself and gets a big grin on his face everytime he goes, he is so proud of himself, just as we are of him.

Sorry, this picture was just too cute to pass up! He cracks me up! Get it-cracks!

Everytime someone in the family goes to the bathroom, Henry says 'You potty trained!' It's cute! Most of Henrys little friends are all potty trained and I thought that this day would never arrive because he refused to go #2 and then finally after going in his big boy underwear a couple times he did it and goes by himself now, it's amazing. One night I decided to not put pullups on him either and he has never wet the bed since(about 2 weeks so far) so he is truly potty trained, just in time for preschool. Yipee!

When Katelyn got potty trained we took her to Chuck e Cheese so we told Henry we'd do the same thing and he absolutely loved it. The kids had a blast and ran wild. We lost Morgan(well Jason lost her) and one of the workers brought her out of the kitchen. I guess that she was hungry. Yeah, we felt dumb!

Good ol 'Chuck-e-Cheese'

He came up to Morgan and she just starting crying so hard, it was kind of funny! Poor girl!

Top of Utah 1/2 Marathon!

Yes, that is right! I did another half marathon, that is two in less than a month and it will definetly be a while before I do another one. My body is telling me to take a break! It was a great day for a race and I had a good time, but enough is enough for a bit. Here is my little cheerleader that comes with me everywhere. She came up to Logan with me for a girls weekend and to hang out with her cousins, she was in heaven!

What a team! These friends are awesome and great motivators, I couldn't have done it without them and their help and support! They got me out of bed at 6am or earlier to train for this race! It was worth it though!

It was so nice to have someone waiting and cheering for me at the finish line(background). Nate and Brianne got their kids and Katelyn out of bed and drove across town to come cheer me on. You guys are awesome. As soon as I saw Brianne we both started crying, it was nice to have someone know and appreciate the hard work and effort that this took. She could tell that I was very very tired. Nate had run a full Marathon a couple years back, so he definetly can relate.

Well the next goal is to do a 5K or a 10K with my sisters, so you better start training!

First Day of Kindergarten!

That is right, Katelyn is finally in Kindergarten. I can't believe I have a child that old. She is so excited to go with all of her friends. We have a brand new school just a couple blocks away so it will be very nice and convenient. Katelyn was so excited to meet her new teacher(Mrs. Wells), she is very nice! Daddy even went into work late so that he could come and be a part of this special day with Katelyn. She was so happy to have both of us their. We had an orientation and learned about the teachers plans for the year, it was great!

Very excited and happy to be here!

Katelyns class...

Swim Lessons!

My kids are little fish, they absolutely love the water.
Henry loved going to swim lessons with his friend Aaron. He almost drowned a couple times from stepping off the ledge. Yeah he was right next to the teacher and I still had to tell the teacher to grab him, kind of scary. I was constantly chasing Morgan and trying to get her to not jump or throw things in the pool. What an active little girl!

Buddies!

Katelyn loved her swim lessons and did really well in them. She loved being able to jump off the diving board at the end of class. What a great kicker!

Katelyn and Alexis!

Both kids passed their class and did a great job!

Summertime Fun!

Wow, I can't believe that summer is over! We had a great summer but it just went by way too fast. We had a few family reunions!
Here the kids discovered a mouse that the bigger kids had killed, how exciting! Having a blast! He He!

Folsom Family reunion!

Martin Family reunion, my Uncle Sterling took me for a ride on his fancy bike! (Thanks to Tanya)

Henry is my little cinderella! Jks, he made some marks on the floor with his little suitcase so he wanted to clean them up. He is the best little helper!

We got to go to 'Liberty Park' in Salt Lake a couple times with some friends that had moved away and were back in town for a visit. It was great to see them.

Morgan just loved putting the rocks in Katelyns shorts!

The kids loved the rides. We couldn't find Henry and Logan for a minute and then looked over and apparently they had gotten on one of the rides for free. They were just enjoying the little car ride, it was pretty funny!

Henry and Logan were best buds the whole day!

These girls are all little buddies from our street! They had a blast together!

We got to see Grandma and Grandpa Felt also, the kids loved spending time with them. They live in Sacramento, CA area, so we don't get to see them too often. They are awesome people!

We also had 'Cherry Hill' passes this summer and were able to go quite a few times. A lot of people asked me how I did it with 3 kids, but it was pretty fun and easy. Although, I suppose that is why I don' t have any pictures of Cherry Hill because it would've been a bit too hard with 3 kids and a camera. We were able to go with some friends and the kids absolutely loved it, we'll probably do it again next year. It was well worth it, Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Tatro for the passes!
