New School Year 2012

What crazy cute kids I have! Wyatt started 2nd grade this year and Livvy started 1st grade.  I don't know what was up with Wyatt's crazy faces that day- but I absolutely could not get him to give me a normal smile! Ike was sure that he was going to school with Wyatt. He had to pack his own backpack with his 'gym shoes' and the only way that I dragged him out of the school was by promising him that we would take his Daddy a donut.  It was a close call.  It's been a great start to what I am hoping is a great year.

4th of July

The 4th of July started with a Ward Breakfast and Flag Ceremony.  Wyatt practiced with the scouts for days to perfect their ceremony and he looked so handsome in his uniform.  We then spent the day hanging out with the family at the river and ended the day with sparklers and fireworks.  Family Traditions are one of my favorite things about summer.

Swimming Lessons

My kiddos have always been little fish.  They love to swim and we spend lots of time in the water. Livvy passed Level 2 this year and Wyatt passed Level 3.  They worked so hard and improved a lot.  Ike is not quite old enough for lessons yet, so I got to spend my time on the sidelines entertaining him. I was very glad when the two weeks were up :)!

Ike can 'Bust a Move'

Ikers

Ike is growing up so much and has such a fun personality! He is obsessed with being a cowboy. He will only wear boots and wants to wear his chaps all day long. He is also a little daredevil. We just spend lots of our time laughing at him!

Zoo Boise

Over Spring break this year, we did more of a 'staycation' and planned fun things to do each day. We went swimming, played at the park, went to the movies, and made a trip to Boise to the zoo. We had so much fun!

Hoppy Easter!

As usual, our Easter was full of family, Easter baskets, Egg hunts and cute kids. We are so blessed.

My little Tinkerbell

Livvy dressed Ike ulama decked out his makeup. We took this picture to send to his daddy but Shelby didn't think it was nearly as funny as I did.

Baby lover

Last weekend was spent with the Scoffield family and everyone is a bit in love with my new niece Sadie. Ike was getting over a cold so I wouldn't let him near her, so he found his own baby to wrap up and love on. He was so cute!

Idols

Ike idolizes his big brother. He always wants to know where Wyatt is at all times and so everything just like him. I caught them lying in the floor watching Power Rangers and eating apples the other day and thought they looked so cute. Then Wyatt convinced Ike that he was old enough to wear big boy pants and go in the potty. He even lent him some of his superman underwear. It lasted about 10 minutes but I will still impressed.

A cowboy that loves to clean?

This must be a figment of my imagination. There has been a little boy in big boots that keeps cleaning my house all day. He is so fun!

Christmas 2011

We had a wonderful Christmas and as always feel so blessed. Santa spoiled my kiddos with their wishlists:

Wyatt- a green laptop (a toy one!)
Livvy- an Easy Bake oven

Ike- a choo-choo and a truck
