First Day of First Grade

Its official! Zek is now in the first grade. He was really nervous this morning, but once we got there he was excited. His room is upstairs this year and he thought that was neat. Zek also picked out his own clothes today-he actually picked out this shirt all by himself at FredMeyer. I guess its time I start letting him show his own personality (since its really starting to develop this year).

I still can't believe that I have a first grader! Today will be interesting with just me and the girls. I think Mya will be glad and sad. For sure by the afternoon she will be missing Zek. Although they argue all the time, she loves him so much.

To explain the picture of Mya, she tried to wash her own hair the other day and she put a huge glob of conditioner right in the front, which is what she is pointing to. It took a long time to rinse it all out and I don't know if we got it all. Needless to say she is not allowed to touch the shampoo, conditioner or bodywash again. :)

Camping in Leavenworth

We went camping on Friday. It was fun to be around family and enjoy some quality time together. The kids had a really great time. On Friday we arrived at about 3:30pm and set up camp. Mya kept asking when we were camping (she wasn't understanding that we already were). We had lots of yummy food while we camped and the kids even floated in icicle creek (two times, second time Zek fell in and he was done). I was a little nervous for them to do this since last weekend those that floated were surprised after coming around the bend by two BEARS. Lucky for us we didn't see any, only chipmunks and fish. After the kids floated the played in the raft and had a lot more fun than floating in the cold water. As you can see from the picture Chaysee even enjoyed a 4-wheeler ride thanks to Grandpa Joe.

Zek starts school on Thursday and is excited. We finished up school shopping on Saturday. He is now offically ready to start 1st grade.

Mya keeps telling me she wants everything for her birday (birthday), which is in 2 weeks. We will keep you posted.

Chaysee is getting so big, she likes to watch Zek and Mya and the tv (i know thats not very good of me to let her, but she really enjoys it).

Family Pictures

So we got new family pictures! Thank you ALYSON! They turned out so cute.

very, very sneaky

my brother, my friend! (yeah right only once in a great while does this happen and it only lasts about 10 min.)

so my mom gave mya some lipstick to play with under my supervision. Well evidently I don't know how to hide things very well because Mya found the lipstick on her own and used it on her own (as if you couldn't tell).

mya is really liking taylor swift lately she now knows all the words to almost all the songs and she'll even ask to watch her videos on youtube. One day i plan to record her and put it on here for all to see how big of a fan she really is.

zek has had a lot of fun this week. he was able to go swimming with friends and be lucky enough to have friends over to play. he loves board games and really wants to buy the game sequence (a game that grandma naylor has). he loves to have a scheduled day - it works out much better for everyone involved.

chaysee just keeps getting bigger its hard to believe she is already 4 mos. everyone thinks she is older than that and they just look at me like really she is only 4 mos. oh well its always good to have a healthy baby. Until next time.
