Tar Baby

So I completely forgot to blog about one of the funniest/sadest parts of our trip. The first morning we were there Jamie decided to take Grace and Sarah to see the pool while I finished getting ready. Just about two minutes after they left I could hear Sarah crying outside the door, so I opened it to find Jamie carrying her by her arms and she was covered in some mysterious substance. Tar, yes they were re surfacing the parking lot and when they went to go see the pool Jamie said ok, everyone make sure to stay on the sidewalk. This to a two year old of course means step into the street. Which she did, and since she is two she is not very coordinated so of course she fell face first into this newly finished parking lot. I so wished I had my camera but it was in the car. We hurry and stuck her in the tub and had to scrub her down. It came off luckily, but the poor thing had these red splotches all over her face for a few days. This picture was taken in the car after we got her cleaned up. If you look closely you can see the red spots. Poor thing! It is such a sad story, but it really was quite funny looking back.

Colorado Springs

We just got back from Colorado Springs, it was so much fun. Here are some of the pics.

Here is all of us at the Utah vs. Air Force game. It was so neat to go to a game there, I left feeling very patriotic, how can you not?

We had lunch with one of Jamie's YM who is now on a mission in Colorado Springs.

Here is Grace and Sarah at the Garden of the Gods.

So good to have some family togetherness. Our kids are getting so big I can hardly believe it. I don't realize that it's weird for my to have 3 kids and the oldest be only 4, but apparantely that is kind of weird outside of Utah. We got some looks from people like oh my goodness what are those people doing. Kind of funny the difference from state to state. Here we are pretty much the norm!

Cold Beverages

For my birthday Jamie took me to a G. Love & Special Sauce concert at Red Butte. It was so fun, I didn't take any pictures because I'm cool like that but I just wanted to give a little shout out to my girlfriends from high school and let you all know that I was thinking of all of you during this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUH4zPdpbug

1st day of school!

Today Grace had her first day of pre-school. She was so excited, and I was so excited for her! She has lots of friends in the neighborhood who are in her class so she was excited about that. It is also just across the street, so that is nice for me! Grace of course posed herself for this picture!
I had to yell to Grace to stop running into the school at least long enough to get this picture. Some kids cry and hold onto their mom, not Grace. She was so excited! She has seemed so big to me lately and this just makes her seem that much older! I can't believe it.
