Easter 2008

Corn Fest

Saturday, August 23rd, was the annual Enterprise Corn Fest! What a busy but fun day! The fun started the night before when Curtis took the kids to the first home football game and then their friend Juel got to spend the night. Austin's good buddy Juel came from his new house up north and got to spend the Corn Fest with us. They had so much fun! :)

We began the day by going and watching Curtis in the softball tournament.

Then we went to the Holt's and ate some lunch. The scones and corn were yummy! After that we went up to the festivities. The kids had a lot of fun on the bounce houses and slides.

They liked this hamster wheel thing too. Not sure why-all they did was fall on each other the whole time!

Anytime we have gone to fairs and such, Sammy has always wanted to climb the rock wall. She wanted to here and said she would use here own money so I let her. She did REALLY GOOD! She got all the way up there!

and Juel stuck to the velcro wall!

After playing at the Corn Fest we went to my parents and my mom had bought Taryne a cute little pool that she loved! She loves the water!

And the other kids played with some soakers.

In all it was a fun day. We went to the Dutch Oven Dinner and then back to my Parents for Ice Cream and Cake for WADES BIRTHDAY!

KiNdErGaRtEn!

Today Austin went to his first day of KINDERGARTEN!! Our boy is growing up! :) Anyways, instead of me taking him, he wanted to ride Grandma Susy's bus and go to breakfast and then to class by himself. I knew he knew how to get to his class so I let him. He was so cute-he said he was finally going to get to see what it looked like inside the bus. :) He said his two favorite things at school today was computers and painting.

An Over Achiever Maybe?

(I took this picture on my phone so it's a little blurry.)

For the past week or so Taryne has had a runny nose and has been waking up during the night here and there, and then Sunday night she ran a fever that got up to 102. I figured she was probably teething but maybe had some of the cold the Samantha and Austin have had too. Yesterday I was checking to see if I could spot a tooth coming through.....YEAH I spotted FOUR!! Yep she is cutting FOUR teeth at once! So she is going from 2 teeth to 4 all at once. But honestly she has only been maybe a tiny bit grumpy, when she has every reason to be TOTAL BEAR!

I figure she decided she better get some more teeth for that YUMMY corn on the cob. :)

It's Finally Here!

Today Sammy went to her first day of SECOND GRADE! I know huh-I can't believe it either! She was glad to get to be in Mrs. Bingham's class. I asked her what her favorite part of the day was and she said that it was how close their classroom was! Don't ask me-but her class is in one of the portables or "condos" as they call them and they were having struggles maintaining a good temperature.

End of Summer Hooray!

Last weekend we took a little Family Summer Vacation. We went to Salt Lake and went to Hogle Zoo. That was Friday. Saturday we went school shopping and got a lot of that done. Sunday we took the kids to Temple Square. It was fun to see the Conference Center. We visited some of Curtis' family that day too. That night we finally went swimming in the hotel pool- we honestly could just stay in a hotel and do nothing but swim and the kids would LOVE it.

Monday on our way home we stopped and hiked up Timpanogos and took the cave tour. That was a lot of fun! The kids did so good! And if anyone has hiked it, they know it is not an easy hike. Curtis carried Taryne the entire way-so sweet! After that we left and went straight to St. George for Curt's softball games. It was a packed weekend, but a fun weekend.
