The fair..

I know that I just posted earlier but I am getting addicted to this !We had a blast at the fair this year. Jaden loved the rides, and megan loved the baby chicks . And we loved the yummy food.

Jaden's almost 6!

I can't believe that Jaden is going to be 6 in two days. The time goes by so quickly. He loves going to kindergarten. But it has been an adjustment. they go all day in texas! He is learning so much already. the other day he came home and wrote from 0-100. I was so proud of him and then he wrote a note to his teacher and it said"To mrs .wooldridge I love you!" and he made hearts all around it. He is so sweet .He is very excited about his birthday.

This is a funny story, His school had skate night the other day. He really wanted to go, so we went as a family. Jaden has never skated before. But he was so determined to do it, after seeing all the big kids. At first ben was pulling him around the rink, and then he wanted to do it alone. He kept falling down while holding onto the side. sometimes even in the splits. Ben and I were laughing so hard, we had to look away. It looked like he was drunk or something. He came back to the bench and started to cry because he couldn't do and because his butt hurt Im sure.But I was proud of him ,by the end of the night he could go for a little bit with out falling or holding onto the side. Then megan and jaden were playing on this blow up slide thing, and this girl said to me" hey Do you go to whiteside?" It took everything I had not to laugh. Then I said no but my son Jaden does. and she said" I knew it , I go to whiteside too!" ( hello, everyone there went to whiteside) I know I look young but common elementary school, that is pushing it! well, life just keeps on moving along, faster than we are ready for sometimes. Have a good day!

this was thanksgiving last year

we spent it with our friends the

bylunds.

megan no longer has

that cute swim diaper

bum!

too long!

I don't know what is wrong with me. I started this blog at the beginning of the summer and here it is sept. already! we had a great summer but kinda hectic. june was awesome we went to Utah! I was there with the kids for the whole month. Ben came for some of it. We sure missed him when he wasn't there. We had a great time with family and friends. Then we got back and our schedule was so busy , we did swim lessons ~ jaden and megan did awesome. And ben took a summer class the month of july. Which with work and school it kept him busy.August we had company the whole month Yeah! We had a wonderful time with everyone that came to visit. Thank you! and now the summer is over ( where did it go) and the kids are in school. Jaden love kindergarten but we are adjusting to the all day thing. He is pretty exhausted when he gets home. Megan started preschool and has jaden's same teacher as two years ago. She loves it and says she is a big girl now! so please be patient as I am trying to learn how this all works.

here are a few of my favorite pics!

memorial day

We had so much fun at the "Beach" today. Really we just went to Buffalo Springs. Which is a lake by our house. But we played in the water and made sand castles and had lunch. The highlight was the wonderful background music.(spanish) we enjoyed the day with our friends the Bylunds. I will post some pictures later when I figure out how to do it.
