Yes!!! Ellie finally decided to take off her training wheels. It only took about a half an hour to get her riding all by her self. I was so surprised she learned so quick. I am so proud of her. I thought it was going to be harder than it was. She loves her bike now and wants to ride it everyday after she gets home from school. She rides really fast too. GO ELLIE!!!
I was putting up peaches the other day from off of our tree and this is some of it. I made lots of jam and peaches like this for lunches. 
So Hailee decided to help me make breakfast the other morning and she was suppose to be stirring the water for cream of wheat. Well she was dumping in the cream of wheat as well. So this is what it looked like by the time I turned around to see what she was doing. ( I was making Derek and Ellie's lunch and had my back turned to her.)
So for family night we went and got a ice cream sundae at Thanksgiving Point. This is how big it is and it is only 5.00 bucks. It was so good too. Then the other two pictures above the ice cream sundae is some water contraption that the kids pulled levers down and water would squirt out of. They thought is was alot of fun.

Derek took the girls to this new splash pad in Alpine and it was alot of fun. They want to go back for sure. 
Kason just turned five months old and is so much fun. He is lifting his chest up off of the floor and is constantly chewing on everything he can get his hands on. He puts everything in his mouth and is getting really good and being able to grab toys with his hands. We love you Kason!
Hailee has been waiting all summer for her turn to go to dance. She has been wearing Ellie's dance leotards all summer and we finally got her one and I hid it so she would not wear it until it was her dance class. Well when Ellie went to dance on Tuesday Hailee wanted to wear her dance outfit even though her dance was not until Thursday. When we got to Hailee's dance class Ellie wanted to go and help her in class. The teacher was Ellie's old teacher and I thought that was okay to show Hailee what to do and then once class started Ellie did not want to leave Hailee's side. She wanted to help her through the whole class and I finally got Ellie to come outside of the class and watch Hailee Ellie was not very happy. But Hailee loves it gets excited every week to go.

This is Ellie first day of First Grade at school. She was really excited to go. The first picture is when the bell rang and she has to line up and wait for the teacher to come and have the class walk inside. She loved her first day. She even ate all of her lunch I sent with her. She is so amazing to me. We love her and are glad she is part of our family.
Ellie wanted to have a lemonade stand a few days before school started. So I told her to get everything ready and I would help her mix up the lemonade. She took out her table and chairs and cups and even made her sign selling lemonade for 5 cents a cup. She made pretty good money from the neighbor kids but had some help with the neighbor kids too so she didn't end up with all the money. But I was proud of her for doing it all on her own.
