KING'S ISLAND

Claire's very first amusement ride. We went to King's Island yesterday and Claire had so much fun!!!!

Claire was so excited to find Dora, but wasn't quite sure about it in the end.

She thought she was such hot stuff doing everything BY HERSELF!!

This coaster went a lot faster than I thought!! Claire had her hands up THE WHOLE TIME!!! She had so much fun!

Labor Day

For Labor Day we took the kids to the park/petting zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. We loved having them here with us and hated to see them go! Brevan had his first pony ride and loved it!!

I guess Brevan thought that stick was a microphone. He certainly gave us a show. Hilarious!

Brevan loves to go down the slides now all by himself!! He thinks he's so big.

BYU cake

We had a BYU party over at the house for their first game against Oklahoma. So of course I had to make a cake!! And because of it, we won the game!

First Day of School!!!

Claire started her first day of pre-school today at the Goddard School!!! Her and I were both so excited!! As excited as she was to start school, she was just as excited to wear this dress that I let her pick out at the store for her first day. She has been saving it the last few days so it doesn't get dirty. This morning she threw it on and marched around the house singing "I get to wear this dress........." over and over and over. Anyone who knows Claire knows she is a princess 100% and has to have a dress on EVERY DAY!!!

Picking raspberries

Brevan's favorite thing to do outside right now is to raid the raspberry bush! Anything that resembles a hint of red, he picks and shoves in his face!

My latest cake

This was for a friend's birthday. Not my favorite, everything went wrong while making it! But here ya go.

Galveston Trip

A couple weeks ago we took a trip to Houston to see Dave's sister get married. For the first time in years, all 11 siblings were there with their families. Claire had so much fun with all her cousins!! After the wedding, a few of us got a house down in Galveston for a few days. We went to the aquarium one day. This is them in the shark tank. And we went to the beach every day! The kids loved their first trip to the beach!
