Once again I am completely behind on this blog and maybe one day I will get caught up but I doubt it. So let's just start from now and hopefully one day I will fill in the holes.</div>

Can you believe this girl started Kindergarten!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was quite the day. She is in the afternoon class so I tried to keep her busy all morning. With all the excitement, she was completely ready, with her jobs done, by like 9:30. I showed her on the clock what time we'd get lunch and that we'd leave after that. So she went out front to ride her bike and every five minutes she was inside checking the clock!</div>

One benefit of school is that she actually lets me fix her hair! Hopefully that continues for the whole year. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We ended up eating lunch in like 5 minutes because she just wasn't hungry (too excited). So I told her we could leave right then and walk or wait 10 more minutes and I would drive her. She choose to leave right then. It was so fun to watch her skip the whole way to school. It is definitely a memory I won't forget. </div>

As we got closer to the school, we ran into one of Addy's friend and they both ran to the front of the school and we found them sitting on the bench waiting. Sadly, they aren't in the same class but they will still get to ride the bus home together.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course we get in her classroom and she no longer needs me. She is so independent and not afraid of new things which is awesome and sad for me all at the same time.</div>

My favorite part was watching her come home from school with a smile on her face. And then to hear all about it. My mother inlaw once told me that she made sure she was always home when the kids got home from school cause she could always tell how their day went within those five minutes of them being home. It really is the truth because I got all the details and by the time Mitch got home, the excitement was gone and he got very little recap. It reminded me of just how lucky I am to be able to stay home with my beautiful kids!!</div>

Last night, we also had a little back to school feast. I printed out a few little school name cards and napkin rings. Then we also talked about our family motto for the school year which is Kindness begins with ME. Hopefully it will be a good reminder for all of us in the family to remember to show kindness in all that we do.</div>

We had another successful year at the Celebrate Youth activity. I took zero pictures of poor Brayden who was for the most part stuck in the stroller. But I did capture a few of Addy enjoying her last day of summer vacation.</div>

It was a very fun and exhausting afternoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How did I get Brayden to stay in the stroller? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I know some of you are wondering that)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I let him eat a creamy all by himself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was covered from head to toe in sticky chocolate popsicle but at least he was happy!</div>

Friday morning, we started the day doing a temple session with some family names my mom had. Then in the afternoon we headed down to the zoo. The weather wasn't the greatest but it didn't stop us from having fun anyways.</div>

These lions were a definite favorite. The kids enjoyed having roaring contests with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to the monkeys just in time for them to get their dinner which was fun to watch them jumping all over the place fighting for some food! </div>

Later that evening after everyone arrived, we went bowling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually I am a terrible bowler but for some reason I was awesome. I even got two strikes in a row on the last frame! Pretty proud of myself.</div>

The next day, Mitch and I headed back over to the temple to help participate in our ward temple day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch, we packed up and headed up to Jackson. We dropped Mitch off at the Bar J to save us a place in line and then the rest of us went into down to wander around the shops. Once again it was rainy and a little chilly but there wasn't too much complaining. </div>

It was such a fun weekend which went by much too quickly. Other highlights were Mitch's famous and delicious crepes, grandma teaching the kids how to make stick boats to float down the river and grandpa paying for his own birthday weekend! I have been so blessed with such an amazing family! We just missed Tyler and Karson since they had to stay back and work. Maybe next time the weather will be just a little more sunny and we can head to the lake!</div>

Awhile back Addy would want to surprise me by picking up the toys or putting her clothes away. She would always say "don't look mom" so I'd make myself busy with something and she'd do her nice thing and then tell me to look. I'd pretend to be scared thinking there was a ghost in our house. Well one day she found my stash of left over fabric in the closet and came up as a real ghost. She'd even cut out the holes for her eyes. It was so random and put a smile on my house.</div>

So we put a halt to the baby food for about 6 weeks because it was causing some constipation problems which made for a very unhappy baby. This is our second attempt and this time around he's just not loving it. I know it takes time to adjust to the new textures and so we still keep trying even when he squeezes his lips together and flings his head side to side. It really makes me laugh sometimes. So this was a rare smile while in his chair.</div>

This little man is obsessed with his toes. I know all babies go through this phase of grabbing their toes and such but wow this guy has taken it to a whole new level. I sometimes wonder if it is because normally he has his special shoes on, so he just isn't used to having nothing on his feet. Or he is just a canibal trying to chew off his big toe. </div>

One of my favorite things as a parent is watching the relationship with these two start to develop. It is what I wished for for such a long time. I always knew that Addy would be such a good big sister. A little crazy and wild at times but so playful and fun. She can make him cry the hardest but also laugh the loudest. Right now they mostly adore each other and I hope that it continues.</div>

I decided to try this guy out in the regular bathtub instead of his portable tub. I'm pretty sure someone had recently told me that they wished they'd started their kids out younger in the tub because now they are afraid of the water. So then of course I don't want to make that same mistake, so I plopped him in the tub. Lo and behold, he loved it! He was kicking his feet and splashing the water with his hands, having a grand ol' time! </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that exciting time of introducing baby food. We started the rice cereal at about 4 1/2 months because he was acting interested in food. He loved it for a few day and then he really started to get constipated and we had many days and nights of a screaming baby. One of those nights was also with a babysitter (we are really burning through those girls fast with this guy). Since I have never dealt with this before, it took me a little while to figure out what the problem was but once I did then we stopped the baby food for awhile. I was hoping the baby food would help him sleep better through the night but it just made it way worse. He did however love the spoon! </div>

So we had a small crew over to carve pumpkins for FHE. Addy and I had already carved one down in Utah but we'd left it behind and I love to have at least one lit by the door on Halloween night, so that meant we needed to carve another. Since I also have a little independent child, she of course didn't want to share the pumpkin so Dad helped cut out her own creation and I did the other one by myself! Hmmm, thinking back maybe I am the one who is hard to work with.</div>

And the casts are off a week early! The doctor was so pleased with how much he had progressed that he didn't put another set on. Happy day at our house, although the skin on his legs and feet is super sensitive so really he hasn't been too happy about the new change. Also he's lost a lot of muscle strength in his legs so they are pretty skinny. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We do have to go into another doctor to get fitted for some special shoes. For now it is just nice to see his little legs and feet again! </div>

It really didn't take long for this little man to adjust to his casts. In fact I think that he enjoys having them on. He loves to pick up his legs and then smack them down on the floor because it makes a loud thump. He will also click his ankles together because that makes a great noise as well. Just think of the muscle strength he is developing in his abs every time he lifts his legs in the air! There are a couple of drawbacks, 1- they are impossible to keep clean…blowouts are the worst just ask the poor babysitter who had to try and clean the last one up! 2- they snag on fabric and make it a little more difficult to carry him around, which really isn't that big of a deal I just have to be careful with what I wear. Mostly it is just trying to keep him and the casts clean that is a pain.</div>

To celebrate several family birthdays, we decided to head up to Yellowstone. We always say we should go there more often since we aren't that far away but for some reason it just always gets passed over. Addy turned five and this is the first time she has ever been. We headed up on Friday and spent the night in West and had fun swimming with cousins and then headed into the park on Saturday. To bad we chose a weekend with horribly cold and rainy weather. It was still fun to drive around looking for animals and the kids loved playing in the backseat. We just didn't get out and walk around as much as I would've liked.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not long after we entered the park we came across a herd of elk. I wasn't quick on getting to the camera which is a bummer because one of the bulls was huge. Oh well.</div>

Taking a lunch break in the rain before heading to see Old Faithful. The kids loved dragging sticks and making a path around the picnic area. I think they were finally bored from being in the car all day so the cold and rain didn't bother them as much.</div>

We had the best timing with Old Faithful. Seriously we walked up and within minutes it erupted. Which was a blessing because we had some pretty cold kids who would not have enjoyed waiting much longer than that. It wasn't quite as impressive with all the cloud coverage. It sort of just blended into the background.</div>

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon, we decided to take the short trip up to the temple and walk around the grounds. We are so lucky to have this beautiful building just a few short minutes from our house and I feel bad that we don't bring Addy here more often because just even walking outside there is a special spirit. </div>

Also it is pretty great that Addy likes to take pictures and although we might have our heads cut off or be a little crooked, at least we have some pictures of Mitch and I.</div>

I love watching babies develop. You can see them focusing so much and trying so hard to figure out how to get their bodies to do what they want. Brayden try to reach for the little butterflies but his hands would just clench together. At least the mat can be a small distraction while I try to do the dishes or cook dinner. </div>
