Bubbles

When Ethan is off at school and I have just my 2 youngest at home, I'm reminded of how easy life with 2 kids was. I'm sure that's true every time you add another kid. We can go places easier, play without fighting, get ready quickly, etc. (Don't get me wrong, I miss my sweet Ethan while he's at school!) Today when Austin got home from preschool, we spent about an hour outside just blowing bubbles, riding bikes, etc. Austin could blow bubbles for hours and be perfectly happy. And Kylee is content to chase all the bubbles Austin blows.

Thanksgiving Point

I took Austin and Kylee (Ethan was already back to school) to Thanksgiving Point a couple weeks ago with a few of our friends. We went to the Petting Zoo and rode the ponies, saw all the animals, and went for a wagon ride. Kylee LOVES animals right now, especially cows, so she was absolutely in heaven at the petting zoo. When we stood in front of the cow pen, she paced back and forth and stared at that cow so hard, and kept saying loudly, "Moo!!! The cow!" She even turned to complete strangers and would get their attention and say, "See the cow???" It was so much fun to watch her there. Then we headed to the Dinosaur Museum and Austin got to see the t-rex that he's been asking to go see for months.

Lemonade for Sale

Our neighborhood was having a big neighborhood-wide garage sale a few weeks ago, so the boys decided they wanted to open a lemonade stand in hopes of making a little cash. Since they didn't tell me they wanted to do this til the day of, there wasn't much planning put into it, but it turned out fine and they had so much fun. I was so worried no one would stop and buy anything from them because there were 3 or 4 other lemonade stands in the neighborhood, but luckily we had a few customers. Grandma Karon even drove all the way out to Lehi from Mapleton.

Caught red-handed!

First Day of School

Ethan started 2nd grade this year and Austin started his second year of preschool. Ethan loves his new teacher and already has made a few new friends. Austin goes to a preschool 3 houses down the street from us with a bunch of his friends. I, for one, LOVE the convenience of being able to walk to school.
