Millie has been out practicing her bike every day of September. She has gotten pretty good at it and has even mastered the driveway. She really just took off on labor day. I didn’t have to run with her or watch her fall – she was READY.
Her ultimate goal is riding her bike to school but I am not a fan of that so we’ll see if I cna make her forget 🙂
Tiago is getting better at the training wheels and loves to be out trying to keep up with the big kids.
Finding 3 things that describe Tiago and then we did lots of pre – preschool posing! Tiago was full of poses and funny faces. He was excited to go and completely comfortable. It is the same house that we took Millie to all last year and it is his primary teachers so it was no biggie for this guy.
It was fun to see him be a big kid and he was all smiles when I picked him up. Now I need to plan some amazing 2 hour breaks that I’ll be getting 3 times a week!
On Sunday after church we drove the 33 minutes back up to the campground and hung out with our peops again! Joel and Megan made dinner and we just chilled out!
On Monday morning we had a breakfast of F Toast provided by Kelsey and then we packed up camp. We got to watch 2 moose down in the stream for a morning drink!
After packing most of our stuff up the camp hosts came to let us know that during the night people wanting to hike to the top of Timp had parked and blocked the road so we wouldn’t be able to leave until they got the cars moved! That gave us time for another game of Rook while the kids did some Parckour in the river and some Sardines hide and go seek. We had tons of fun with Kelsey adn Joel and Megan and the little kiddos.
We came home exhausted and contented. We cleaned up the camp stuff and chilled out and let Benji and Ben go do soccer practice. While up camping everyone was riding Tiago’s balance bike and Millie caught the biking bug. It took all of my mothering power to get off the couch and help her get a bike out and learn to ride! She took right off!!
Only glamping because we went up Saturday but we came home and slept in our beds and went to church on Sunday!
The river ran through the back of the campground so Saturday afternoon we played in the FREEZING cold water and then played some games and chilled with Shannon, Tommi, Kelsey, Shae, Ty, Joel, Megan, Gus, Dag, Mae and Jan and Von.
We brought dinner for Saturday night. I precooked stuff for Tin Foil Dinners and then let everyone create their own and warm it up on the fire. We also roasted corn on the fire, yum. Megan brought ginormous Mallows that my kids were loving!
After dinner we had a MOOSE come in our camp! He stood by the tent and ate the tree branches for 20 minutes and then he wandered over to the restroom area and eventually made his way out of camp. It was neat to be that close and watch him. We all jumped under the tables when he started moving towards us. Some of the kids were scared but by the end they thought it was neat.
We enjoyed a nice campfire and then went home around 10-pm. Ben needed to conduct at church so it was good to get home for that.
Milk and Cookies and decorating your pencil box! Ms Janet is so good with the kids.
I think I would be right in style if I were back in Kindergarten! I’ve got the purple jumper and the BANGS!
Cali and her team got to be the ball girls at the BYU soccer game. Rose and I decided to go and watch her and watch the game. We sat with Matt and Jamie and Ellie and had a blast. Cali was right at midfield and had to stay focused the whole time. It was a BYU whooping.
We started Millie in Soccer this year. Maren and Cora and Benson and Lucas are all on her team! She is liking it so far. And Tiago is wishing he was on the team. He looks forward to practice more than anyone else.
Millie was so ready to go! Starting a weeks after the older kids is a bummer! She was happy to know Benson and Rex and Cora! She made a new friend named Tommy and says she plays with him the most. We rode scooters to school the first week. The second week I started sending her with friends!
This is where we pick them up after school. This was day 2, Millie wore her Manila Mustangs shirt 🙂 So far she is doing great and loving school. She called one day with a tummy ache and came home early – – – she was just hungry. Today she called cause her pants got wet on the slide but I told her to just wait the 30 minutes until school was over. Tiago and I are adjusting to our new schedule w/o her.
