Relief Society and Birthdays

We had a fun Relief Society Retreat. We went to Tonaquint Park for dinner, speakers, and musical entertainment. It was a lot of fun to sit on a blanket on the grass, take notes, and hang out with my family. It's been wonderful to get to live so close to them:)
This is now one of their new favorite things to do... Jump up on the van. I'm slowly getting better about letting them do silly things.
 The poor girl. She took a tumble down the ENTIRE flight on stairs. She had this souvenir for a good month. I'm so sorry baby. 
 Lincoln was so cute. He really wanted to help me make his teacher, Miss Ping, a birthday gift. I was the room mother in his class, so we made this owl from our store. I wanted the tummy to say "Wisdom" (thanks Mike!) in Chinese characters so Susan had one of the other Chinese teachers draw it and I glued it on. I love the way it turned out. We just love Miss Ping:)

 Damon's Birthday Party at Grandma's!
The kids love getting to live so close and help celebrate their cousins birthdays.
We love Grandma and Grandpa Great. I'm so grateful I got to live next door to these two and get to know them better. Grandma is such a wonderful person and so kind. She gave me piano lessons almost every week I lived there. I'm so grateful to get to learn from her. And it was fun to get to chat in between the lesson as well. Grandpa is awesome with his obsession with birds. He'll sit there forever and just stare out the window watching them. "Oh! There it is!"
Haha!! Aurora likes the window too! Oh I could just gobble her cute little face up!
After the party they watched a movie and had a sleepover downstairs. Everyone looks so comfy cozy:)
Our cute Chubby.

It's been good for me to have my friend Shelley down here. She is great to call and get me out of the house and go do something. If it were up to me, I'd stay home all day long cleaning and hanging out with my kids. I've been slightly blah since we moved down and I don't know why. I love Shel to get me out in nature and feel better. We went to a duck pond at Tonaquint Park. It really was cool for me and the kids.
They all got to feed the ducks. Awesome. We need to go back soon.
Poor Auri was bored because I had her sit in the stroller the whole time. But she didn't seem to mind. She still got to see everything:) I'm too stressed to have the baby by the water.
Aw! These kids are so dang cute! Shelley has Brecken, the twins Bailey and McKinley, and baby Sophie.

Daddy is so much fun every once in a while;) Lincoln and Sequoia loved it!!
We got to go out for Brittyn's birthday party. Another wonderful reason we love to live by our families. Happy birthday Britters:)
Oh this little stinker. 
I have a feeling she will be the cutest little trial at times of my life;)
HaHaHa!! Crazy girl!!
And her crazy brother!!
Thank you Aurora. One of the best moments of my life. She finally took a binky at 10 months! Wahoo!

Quoi's First Day Of Pre-K

Yeah! Sequoia was so excited to start school! She is going to Coral Cliffs Elementary in the Title One Preschool program. Woot Woot! That's right, free! It sure does have some benefits of being poor folk:) Her teacher is Mrs. George and we love her. She is an amazing person. 

This girl loves her classroom and gets along well with the kids. She is one smart cookie! She has the morning session, so our mornings are super crazy, but the afternoons are awesome.
 2013-2014  Age 4
 Love your cheeser cutie! Pics taken after school so she was exhausted and was ready to go inside and watch some good old fashioned TV!


Oh my baby! 9 Months Old
She was fun to watch playing with the paper. She loves the grass and being outside.
