Paige's First Day of Preschool

Paige had her first day of Preschool!

I can't believe how excited she was.

She was not nervous or shy. It was complete

opposite then her older sisters experience.

I would imagine it's because Paige got to see

how it was done from watching Riley.

She helped pick out her outfit. And

loved having her own backpack.

She was ecstatic about having her best friend

Riley Tidwell in her class.

You probably can't tell she is pumped to go to school!

She walked in with confidence and hung her back

pack up. Like she knew what she was doing.

Then she was suppose to find her name on the

tables and play with play dough. When I said

good bye she hardly looked up.

Showing me what she did in class.

I'm loving two in school. Even though it's

only for a few hours!

Bear Lake Again....

So most of my posts have

"Bear Lake"

in the tittle. And well that is because

we are always up there. At least in the summer.

And in answer to every ones question. Do I get

sick of it? No. Just the packing and cleaning the

sand out of my car. But it is such a nice get away

from home and our responsibilities.

My girls can never get enough of the beach.

They love Bear Lake!

This weekend we went up with my family. We had

all of us there except my sister Kate and her family,

who are still living in Germany.

Uncle Mikel playing with the girls! I love to

hear their giggles!

Mikel and Kami

The beach was a little cold.

Mikel does not go wake boarding very often.

Maybe 1-2 times a year. He is really good, probably

because he is such an amazing snow boarder. I think

that helps.

Sierra and Paige. Loving the Beach life!

So Paige got up on the skis this year but was to

scared to try again, so we let the girls try on the skis

on the beach. Sierra thought she was so cool!

Paige passed out on the couch from playing to hard.

My girls after church.

Who said it's dumb to dress your girls a like?

"Oh" that was me before I had more then one of them!

It is too much fun. I see something cute at the store and

want to buy it for the other two. Girls can be so expensive.

Uncle Mikey loving his nieces!

Sierra's Doc. Visit

Sierra had her 2 year old

check up.

She is always a little cautious at

the doctors. Which I don't blame her.

She normally gets shots. But she is all

done with those until Kindergarten.

Sierra is a whopping 22 pounds.

Which puts her in the 3% for her age.

Her height is 33 inches

Which is in the 27%

When the doctor came in she lost it

and started to cry. I was hoping she would

sit on Paige's lap while the doctor checked her

so I could get pictures but she was to scarred.

After the doctor left the room she got

to pick a sticker and a sucker. That

made her much happier!

Sierra's 2nd Birthday!

My baby turned 2

She is the sweetest thing.

We love having Si Si in our family!

She is always making us laugh!

Sierra loves animals. Particularly farm animals.

So I made her a farm cake. We ate it just in time

before the silo tipped over.

Katie, Spencer and Sierra

Our family is so good to always come

to my girls Birthday parties.

Grandpa and Grandma Gardner with

Paige and Riley

Skyla and my brother Michael.

Sierra waiting patiently for her presents.

After every present I told her who it was from. She

was so good to give every person hugs and kisses.

She has always been my particular baby. She wanted

to play with each gift before opening the next one.

More loves to Grandma Avery.

Telling Great Grandpa Gardner thank you

for the card and money.

This bag was bigger then her.

Sierra showing what she got. Which was mostly

clothes. She was a good sport. I asked her to show me and

smile a hundred times. And she humored me so well.

Grandpa Corrigan and Sierra

More party guests, Michelle and Patrick

Kami and Mikel

Sierra loved her ice cream. She took

too big of a bite when it was time

to smile with Uncle Mikey.

Eden overnighter

My Brother Patrick and his wife Michelle invited

our family up to a Condo in Eden for the day and night

in celebration for his 29th birthday!

The girls of course loved swimming. Except Sierra.

She is still not to comfortable with the water. All

she wanted to do was wrap up in her towel and eat

fruit snacks.

Just in the past few months Paige has become more

comfortable and independent with her life jacket. She

loves swimming.

Most of the time we played with the pool toys.

Seeing how many times we could hit the other person.

My Brother Patrick ready to block an incoming

ball full of water!

Riley doing her own thing.

Sierra

After swimming my brother bought us all the

Pizza, Bread sticks, and salad we could eat. How nice to

go to a party for someone else and they pay for the food

and entertainment. It doesn't get much better then that!

Of course I would expect this from my computer guru brother.

If you did not know, which I didn't the candles represent 29

in binary.

Me and the girls after swimming.

We had so much fun! I usually sit back and watch

everyone swim. But I actually swam and got my hair

wet. Probably because my mom and sisters were there

to help watch the girls.

So we have been working with Sierra and she

finally figured it out. The day before her

2nd birthday. Holding up just two fingers

is a challenge for such a little person.

The condo we stayed in was very nice and accommodating.

There were enough bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us.

In the morning before Sierra could even wake up Me and

Brandon bombarded her with HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Grandma is always so good to read to my girls.

Even if it's early in the morning and with the biggest

princess book the girls could find!

Again my brother and his wife, Michelle treated

us to a yummy breakfast of Pancakes, eggs, bacon,

hash browns and toast. Something I don't make everyday.

It was Sierra's birthday so we brought up some

presents for her to open. We started out side.

Then it began to sprinkle and then down poor.

So we ended up back in the condo.

Of course big sisters always have to help try

out the new presents.

The men did not want to wait out the rain and

decided to launch water balloons.

The rest of us decided to watch where it was dry.

My brother Michael, Mikel and Grandpa John.

Paige and Grandpa

I thought I would give it a try and it is quite harder

then it looks. Men are so much tougher.

Before we headed home we let the girls play

in the tunnel and the log fort.

We had a great time!

Thank you Patrick and Michelle!
