Kyler's Baptism

Kyler was Baptized on September 5, 2009. He was way excited and did a really good job. Russell did a great job with the Baptism and Confirmation also. We are so proud of his decision to get Baptized and become a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Doesn't he look so grown up and handsome?

We want to thank all of our family members who were there to support Kyler with this step in his life. We also want to let those family members who weren't able to be there know that we missed them and are grateful for the support that they give to Kyler too!

School Started!

School started and I have three kids in school this year!

Kyler is in 3rd grade and his teacher is Mrs. Jensen. He is riding his bike to and from school this year and is really enjoying it. I think he likes the feeling of independence it gives him. He left before I could get his First Day of School picture, but he looked really handsome and grown up.

Kaylee is in Kindergarten and her teacher is Mrs. Otten. She is going in the afternoons until they get the Kindergarten addition done, which should be within the month, and then she will go in the mornings.

Kenyon has been so excited to be able to go to school too. He had to wear his backpack to take Kaylee to school and pick her up.

Kenyon finally started Preschool today! He goes on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, so when Kaylee switches to mornings I will be down to one kid for three hours, two days a week! After watching Kaylee ride the bus for two years, he was so excited to finally be able to ride it.

I'm so grateful to live in this community with such wonderful schools available for my children. It makes it easier to send them to school when you know the people that are teaching them care for them almost as much as you do!

B'days

August felt like it was just one big Birthday Party, but with three kids' birthdays, four parties, and five cakes I wonder why?

To make things easier on family and myself we decided to do a combined family party for Kaylee and Evelyn.

Here is a picture of Kaylee with her Doll Cake. It didn't turn out like I had pictured but she liked it and it tasted good, so I guess that's all that matters!

Kaylee loved being the center of attention and having everyone sing to her!

I was pretty excited about Evelyn's cake. She has been our best eater, so I figured she would love eating one all by herself and she didn't disappoint.

She really had fun eating and playing with her cake. I thought for sure that she would be sick after eating so much cake, but she was just fine.

Grandma Henningson was nice enough to give Evelyn a bath after she ate her cake. They both enjoyed it.
