Pictures of the Kids

I know it has been a long time since I got the kid's pictures taken. Last Thursday, we went to our weekly summer movie camp ( a cartoon is shown once a week for fifty cents) and afterwards we went to get their pictures taken. Trevor was so very tired having missed his nap and so he didn't get any by himself. We will get his done next week. They turned out beautiful, of course. I won't get the actual prints until next week but I did get the email that allows me to download the pictures. (There is a website you can go to if you would like to order some, email me and I will get it for you.) Don't worry grandmas and grandpas are getting some prints soon.

We are enjoying our summer. I got a bike trailer at a garage sale and we took a little bike ride on Monday night. Trevor absolutely loved it! Jaylen, and Trevor were the passengers and Kelsey, Tyler and I were all riding bikes. Trevor would just squeal and laugh and Jaylen was a little nervous, she kept asking me if I was going too fast.

Special Delivery

The excitement for this week was getting packages from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. Jaylen had fun sitting in a tiny box. Trevor posed for the camera in his new bath towel. We are enjoying our summer break with a more laid back schedule. Tyler and Jaylen started swimming lessons last week and are both doing well. We are just waiting for the weather to warm up enough to go to the outdoor pool so they can practice their new skills. We have had the most rainy, cool, start to summer, that I can remember and all I can say is Bring On The Heat!!!

I had a great time visiting my sister in Salt Lake City a couple of weeks ago, and you know the saying "When the cat is away the mice will play?" Well Kelsey bought a Playstation 2 and Guitar Hero III. The kids have a Lego Starwars game and at ages 5 and 6, they are way better at it than I am. I have to say, letting them play with it, is a great motivator for getting them to do their chores.

Kindergarten Graduation!

Yes, Tyler is all done with school for the year. He had a great kindergarten and is looking forward to being a 1st grader now. Miss Carter is an amazing teacher and we were so lucky for Tyler to have her this year. The charter school Tyler goes to is amazing, we are so happy that Jaylen gets to go there in the fall as well.

Sorry the video is far away I used my regular camera. Tyler is the one with the blue and white sweater vest on. It is hard to understand the words to the song but it was so cute. It talks about them making it to first grade, how they can now write their names and tie their shoes.

We are so proud of Tyler and all of his acomplishments this year. Tyler recieved the Principals Award which is only awarded to one boy and one girl! He also recieved an award for academic excellence. Great job Tyler!

Jaylen wanted me to take her picture because I was taking Tylers-what can I say she is a supermodel already!

Happy Mothers Day!

I hope everyone is having a great Mothers Day tomorrow. The kids and I took some pictures today that they could make some e-cards with. I also made a cherry chocolate cheesecake that my mom, sister and I all enjoyed for an early mothers day celebration. For those of you who don't know yet, Trevor has been walking for about 3 weeks, and he's gotten pretty good at it. He also has discovered his belly button, and likes to check and make sure it hasn't gone anywhere. I hope you enjoy watching the little video.
