| Ruby had one free week before her first day of first grade started. (it's a big deal right) We'd been back and forth so much up north it hardly feels like we live in St. George! SO...we swam for 3 days straight at the 'best indoor/outdoor pool in Dixie!'. The kids were in h.e.a.v.e.n. They've turned into quite the little swimmers! |
 |
| This is the pool, that yes, Charlie almost died in and it was right where this picture was taken. Above, Marty finally had him on his back floating around without him screaming it was great. (okay it looks as though he is screaming but he's actually smiling) |
 |
| We went to the Washington County Fair with our friends, Tasha and Christopher. It was, well, it was just what you'd expect from a fair. The balloon in Liam's hand is the best I've ever seen from a 'balloon man' -now that is a ride~ And the sugar left over from the funnel cake (recipe here) is NOT an option to waste- must be licked off! (apparently) |
 |
| We watched a man called 'dizzy hips' perform with hula hoops. It was really amazing. It's Ruby's new aspiration-she can really get that thing a swinging. Wonder if that's something she can compete with in High School, no? |
 |
| And of course -because they saw them- we let them ride a couple rides...a couple meaning- 2. Not that we couldn't see the excitement in their eyes while they rode but because they are like 4 bucks a ride! |
 |
| And here it is...ba ba ba bum!- first day, first grade pics! How excited can on 35lb kid get~! |
 |
| Her brothers were sad to see her off, in fact Liam ran to her room the second we got home and locked himself in. He stayed for HOURS playing with her stuffed animals. He combined his with hers and found himself in a sea of stuffiness, a plethora of animals...his DREAM. He can play and play forever w/those things and I am not allowed to play with him. I guess it's nice when I have stuff to do?! |
 |
| This is the second day of the first grade. I had to get her pic by the school sign! It was too crowded before. She is totally bugged and done with pictures...she just wants to get to her desk! She told me that is her favorite place to be now. wow. |
