First day of first grade

My baby's in first grade! His only complaint is that school is "sooo looong." Other than that, he is doing very well. Andrew starts preschool soon. Pictures of his first day are to come.

Oh, a silly picture of Caleb just for fun. Caleb's language has exploded the past few weeks. He can now say, "cheese, duck, quack, no, mama, dada, fish, and uh-oh." He also signs "more" all the time. It's also nice that he has entered the world of simple comprehension. For example, "Caleb, we are going bye bye. Go get your shoes." Caleb then jumps up and runs to get his shoes and heads for the door. I love it. Life is good with my three little buddies.

A night out

Every mom (and dad too) deserves a night out every once in a while. For me, I have been lucky to have had many nights out over the summer. However, most of those nights were due to church responsibilies, but last weekend I was fortunate to have a fun, responsibility free, night out with old friends. Let me clarify, the friendships are old, the friends themselves are not (we are all 30 years young, well almost all of us....Ang is still hanging on to 29 for a few more months).

These are my darling high school friends. Aren't they gorgeous? I love the pregnant bellies!! That was something we were lucky not to have seen in high school! ;) It was great that so many of us were able to attend this little get together, but we missed those that couldn't be there. First we met up at Cafe Trio, then we went up to Carrie's parent's cabin in Park City for the night. The cabin was amazing, but the company was even better. I even went by my old nickname, "Heidi B." These women are wonderful and I cherish there friendship, even if we only get together once every 3-4 years and many of them live out of state.

Thanks girls! I love you all!

More summer fun

For two little boys, floating the canal in your back yard on a hot summer day, is paradise!
