Kaylie Starts Preschool



A week after Emma started kindergarten Kaylie started preschool, and she absolutely loves it. She was so sad Emma started school and she didn't get to go with her that first week and very excited that she got to go to her very own school the following week. It's only twice a week and every day as we walk home from dropping Emma off at school she asks if she can go to "Kaylie's school" as she calls it.



 

 

Kaylie is funny when she first meets people. They usually get a growl or just ingnored for a few minutes until she decides they are okay. As excited as she is about school that's what her teacher gets everyday when I drop her off. Kaylie puts her head down and ignores Miss Jill for a few minutes, then after more kids show up she looks up and says while waving, "Bye Mom! Go to the car! Hi Teacher!" And everyday when I pick her up I hear, "Mom! I had a good day!" Funny little girl.

Opening Game

Today is the opening football game for BYU. I didn't even have to tell Emma, this is what she put on all by herself this morning. I'm a proud mama. Jacob apparently takes after his dad...

 

1st Day of Kindergarten!

 

Emma started kindergarten today, she was so excited! And Kaylie insisted on posing for the picture as well with her own backpack.

 

 

I'm excited we live close enough to walk. I'm finally being forced to get some exercise! It was way hot though, even at 9 am.

Gotta love Emma's camera smile. After I left Emma on the playground and got back to the kids in the stroller, Kaylie was crying her eyes out, either because we were leaving Emma or because she couldn't go with her, or both.

 

Lining up with her class, you can sort of see her in the middle of the line (look for the green skirt). Her teacher is Miss Johnson, we met her last week for Emma's pre-assessment. Emma warmed right up to her, answered all her questions, and had fun chatting with her.

 

 One more funny smile 

 

 

And then off to class!

 

Jacob 7 Months

Here is my little buddy at 7 months old. He's eating solids (hates peas, loves sweet potatoes), doing the army crawl, and just being cute.

And helping mom with laundry!

Kaylie's 3rd Birthday

Somebody had a birthday! We celebrated the day before by visiting the local aquarium. The kids loved the fish, sharks, penquins, and Emma even got to see a tarantula. A huge bird-eating one, mom got grossed out.

Side note: I recently tried to cut Kaylie's hair. Didn't turn out so well. :( Although I have to admit I was so busy trying to get cake and food ready, I don't think I ever attempted to brush or style it that day, so her pictures feature some really wild hair! 

The next day we had a small family party Grandma and Grandpa Adamson, Aunt Becky and Grandma Postma were all there.



And brought her a Tinkerbell costume that she immediately put on.

And a new Jessie doll that she has yet to put down. Love the fake smile!

And the cake, I think I may have set some high expectations after making Emma a dragon cake last month. This photo is right before she stuck her finger right in the candle flame. Didn't even bat an eye.
