<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Look at this big boy. He is so so excited that today is his birthday and that he is 3! He has been waiting to wear this shirt since I washed it and put it in his drawer last month. I am still a little in denial my little guy is 3 but at the same time he is so grown up. He is a handsome funny all boy kid. If you come by and hear growling and someone shouting "I shoot you" or "Arrrg, I have my tiny sword" Nathan must be home. We sure do love our little pirate, super hero, fireman, dragon around here and wouldn't know what to do without him. I will try and get more pictures up from his birthday later. Including his pirate ship cake! A few quick things about Nathan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>He likes dressing up and pretending. </li>
<li>Right now his favorite food is corndogs, wheat thins, and cheese breadsticks</li>
<li>Blue is his favorite color - with the occasional green or yellow</li>
<li>His currant favorite movie is "Ice Age 4" (go figure it has pirates in it)</li>
<li>He can't wait until the Fall when he can go to preschool</li>
<li>If there is music on he usually with get up and "shake his booty" around the room</li>
<li>He is already quite the ladies man and is hitting on older women (Young Women from church)</li>
<li>He gives great complement all the time (You're Awesome, you look like a Princess, you are so beautiful...)</li>
</ul>

Mr. Nathan here has had a busy week or so. He moved up to his big boy bed and has been using the potty pretty regularly! He looks so big in his big boy bed. He has been so excited about it that he plays in his bed a lot during the day. I think it is great that he will stay in his bed still and call for me until I come and get him just like he did when he was in his crib. I kinda like that because then I can still give him good morning snuggles first thing in the mornings. </div>

Here are also some pictures from the fun we had racking up all the leaves from our front yard. The kids had fun and I was just glad that they were excited to help me clean up all the leaves. I can't believe how many there were! These are just from the front - and if you look in the first picture you can see how many leaves are still on one of the trees. I just wanted to get as many off the lawn as I could before it gets nasty here - like today. The weather went from 65 degrees to 40 overnight and it is only going to get worse. I guess I should be happy we got to have a few extra days of fall during the first week on November!<br />

They put on a little program with the theme being 'Under the Sea.' She did a very good job and we could hear her singing in the back where we were sitting. According to her teachers she is always very excited for singing time and always sings her heart out. It is fun to see her doing her own thing without her siblings around. Elle has really been missing her friends and teachers and wishes that she could still be going to her "old preschool." In the fall she will be going to the <a href="http://www.uidaho.edu/cals/fcs/content/cdl" target="_blank">University of Idaho's preschool</a>. Here are the few pictures I took (I am never going to trust the battery guide on my camera again) before my battery went dead.<br />

She has always seemed too little before to be doing things that I knew Amber did at her age until this last year. She seems so big and grown up. She has been a very mature and wise 3 year old. I think of all the things she has done this last year and I can't believe it was all while she was 3. But now she is 4 and I am sure she will just continue to surprise us.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>Elle has always been our little snuggler and I am glad to report that hasn't changed. She also is a very loving and kind little and big sister. She is always thinking of others feelings and needs and almost always is willing to help them without even being asked to. Since she has been going to preschool she has opened up more and has become less dependent on her sister to be the leader. She has learned a lot in preschool as well and knows most of her letters. It has been fun watching her grow and learn. I sure do love her. She fits right in our family - we need her easygoingness to balance out the other two's strong personalities. Happy Birthday my little Elle!</div><div><br /></div><div>Today, for her birthday, Elle wanted to take a friend to a movie. The only kid friendly movie right now is "The Lorax" so that is what we saw. She had a great time and had fun inviting a little friend from church. After the movie she got to open her presents. She is so easy to please and loves all of them. Then for dinner all she requested were some mashed potatoes and corn. After that we had her cake (orange of course) and cookie dough ice cream. Here are a couple of pictures from the day.</div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5jZIjF8jymMuQKX8DR0XDQGN2DoCLGK3o0r1EAqcoQLRSeEh6E2dsjkHxZ61LzFQZcrZnZlyEZOHUUijgynk2JINa_DN5m827_NJNklpNN-ASUZJ6wnE6lqcH76cfmqqkLzQ_jC75vrg/s1600/IMG_9081.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

She has been so looking forward to this day and has even been counting down the days. She sure has changed over the last year. Starting Kindergarten and become so big and social. It amazes me how much she knows and does. I am so proud of her and all that she has been learning at school. I am excited to see her continue to grow and learn.<br /><br />This year Amber shared a party with one of her friends from Primary. Rachael's birthday was on February 14 so they combined and had their party last Saturday, the 11th. It was so much fun and she was so excited to share it with Rachael.

I can hardly believe it. It just seems like yesterday that he turned 1 and maybe a couple of months since he was born. Even though time has gone by extremely fast and I feel like he were just born I can't imagine life without him. He is such a happy guy and so much a little boy that sometimes, I don't know what to do with him. Having had two girls first it is fun to see the differences between them. Here are some things that Nathan does/likes:<br /><br /></div><div>-He enjoys play with pots, pans, and anything to do with cooking<br />-He is a talking machine<br />-He likes the colors yellow, blue, and green<br />-Curious George is his favorite TV show<br />-Nemo is his movie of choice<br />-Lately he has become a picky eater and doesn't want to eat most meals, just snacks<br />-Loves dressing up and playing with his sisters<br />-Loves doughnuts<br />-He is very ticklish<br />-Will fall a sleep on you (my other two usually never did)<br />-Enjoys taking long baths<br />-Doesn't like when his head gets wet (in the rain or when his Papa gets it wet)<br />-Loves being read to<br />-His favorite food is tacos meat (no shell)</div><div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-zBeWnvbCC_XtZSPjciWuE4TC27qHg2Tp9bZ33Jixp0z44bdYfrYJ3BAsyKkXFXTnL570q59iOpVlTxwNunx6wHqzYSSSnTwMxt2C1KzdKxPaRSqC0h_w3yfMB9oZeKAdI7O0N9kJo4/s1600/IMG_6588.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 213px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8-zBeWnvbCC_XtZSPjciWuE4TC27qHg2Tp9bZ33Jixp0z44bdYfrYJ3BAsyKkXFXTnL570q59iOpVlTxwNunx6wHqzYSSSnTwMxt2C1KzdKxPaRSqC0h_w3yfMB9oZeKAdI7O0N9kJo4/s320/IMG_6588.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5697628678336911458"></a><div style="text-align: center;">Nathan on his birth day.

I must say that St. George had become my home even though I complained about it a lot (especially in the summer). It was home and I had really felt comfortable there. I think it takes hindsight to see it though. I will miss all my great friends that I had made there not to mention J's parents and his brother & family. But now we are on to a new adventure and trying to make Moscow, Idaho our new home. It sure will be hard to find friends to fill the shoes of those we left behind, but we are trying to get settled and find some. One thing that will be nice in our new area is that they actually have seasons! So I decided to capture some to share.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5dktZj4WSHW6Ht_zCOcKsT4YpWW61t4InA_JpZ2grjvQOZIj-V0BUKXgvKuOHyy6-cAOm8V2ncvJ2cOO48BeM6k8H-MESgcSyNBPg5gEUwFRojfyeBk24BqE4CXlO2KUj4fK6QqdVrU/s1600/IMG_8075.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5dktZj4WSHW6Ht_zCOcKsT4YpWW61t4InA_JpZ2grjvQOZIj-V0BUKXgvKuOHyy6-cAOm8V2ncvJ2cOO48BeM6k8H-MESgcSyNBPg5gEUwFRojfyeBk24BqE4CXlO2KUj4fK6QqdVrU/s320/IMG_8075.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666063427924867010" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; ">Autumn leaves</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU0JpjQYCBK9V68ralgTaQhxhUwDROHICCpAR4nxysBGgj7ytXSWv9nlGNAajD_F3-eg5WHOKX_oofRSWRdtfNgvJN7SkYyG1XkuHvtv3xL9sVf4XJSdCQSHOoyxqzk66cHM5O_2briHk/s1600/IMG_8082.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU0JpjQYCBK9V68ralgTaQhxhUwDROHICCpAR4nxysBGgj7ytXSWv9nlGNAajD_F3-eg5WHOKX_oofRSWRdtfNgvJN7SkYyG1XkuHvtv3xL9sVf4XJSdCQSHOoyxqzk66cHM5O_2briHk/s320/IMG_8082.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666063419376720962" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; ">Elle and Amber throwing leaves.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvkP5hDNS1fVTmcfDeQR3M5iUtEOT6JVpMqSVe0Wp7K6UAbI8VPyFdjODZtiSfbbH4MDw5I-nEu0VNN5eWgJ5GX3w0j8irQQWdamUH71stliTsl1e4G87RxeIH6sSwlIOcArjdtiE48Pg/s1600/IMG_8084.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvkP5hDNS1fVTmcfDeQR3M5iUtEOT6JVpMqSVe0Wp7K6UAbI8VPyFdjODZtiSfbbH4MDw5I-nEu0VNN5eWgJ5GX3w0j8irQQWdamUH71stliTsl1e4G87RxeIH6sSwlIOcArjdtiE48Pg/s320/IMG_8084.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666063413600365442" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; ">Playing in the leaves with the neighbors.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqkZ2WVdTikwnU-hz_bzq_9baeGpxJUgt-JSD0yabKE5oi73JCbv3PnXFPAC8AHHI_NlQp-bdT7grNRjnfOfc5WvyUDwY4BLWX0AuMi0O2Q3Mq_70erGbtNbv7J4fAyd97xHLliFJ9mWY/s1600/IMG_8096.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqkZ2WVdTikwnU-hz_bzq_9baeGpxJUgt-JSD0yabKE5oi73JCbv3PnXFPAC8AHHI_NlQp-bdT7grNRjnfOfc5WvyUDwY4BLWX0AuMi0O2Q3Mq_70erGbtNbv7J4fAyd97xHLliFJ9mWY/s320/IMG_8096.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666063410894710418" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center; ">Nathan playing in the leaves</div><div style="text-align: center; "><br /></div><div>There has been lots that I am behind on so instead of promising to catch up I am going to link to J's accounts of the things we have been up to.

One awesome thing is that we will be closer (2 hours away vs. 14 hours) to the Salmon River and the rafting that comes along with it. It will be hard to say goodbye to St. George and all the friends I have made over the last 11 years but there is still email, cell phones, blogs, and Facebook to help me keep in touch.

It was our 3rd year going and I must say that I still think they should do it all indoors or at a different time of year (even though I know why need to do it in August). It was HOT. We don't go to for the rides at night - my kids don't even know that there are rides - we go in the day for the petting zoo, booths, and fair entries. My girls always look forward to it though. There is always so sort of ride or something that they get to do along with seeing all the animals that gets them excited (not to mention their friend Taylee was coming). This year it was the "<a href="http://http//washcofair.net/2011/entertainment/walk-on-water/">walk on water</a>" attraction. They had a blast and so did I watching them.

J and I were able to escape our little ones and spend a week away. We headed up north to Heber and used my parents' house as a bed and breakfast. We did lots of things that we had wanted to do. It was so much fun and the time went by so fast. Here is what we did (I will be linking to videos or posts that J put together of our trip as well) :</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div></div><div>

<br /><div>This was more of a family day. Being Sunday we didn't want to be struck down for doing things we shouldn't. So we attended church with my Dad and got to listen to my brother Jim and his wife Crystal speak. After that we headed up to my sister's (Bonnie) house for Kruz's baby blessing. That evening we went over to Jim's house to roast pineapple over his fire pit. </div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645286862467957378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iQH47rmckxFtakH75YEDkkf_wUAz2HDpwpnE_q37SPV5TD25_jLUynqxiMdgnwx3Oozs3OFPJuu9Grjbw3gHFuhQifqia0gxqhjTT-BoPH98JpleU14OSzcIVXXsOeihhFU8nxv_wxU/s320/IMG_7344.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span>

When we got there is was so quiet—no one was there. We thought it was odd and we soon discovered why it was so deserted. It WAS NASTY! The water was so briny and there were bugs swarming everywhere. Not to mention all the scary spiders that were EVERYWHERE. We almost didn't even get on the water but decided since we had come we had better <a href="http://j.tumblr.com/post/8393682996/vacation-2011-day-4-kayaking-on-the-great-salt">give it a try</a>. We didn't last too long (the water was like syrup) and then headed out of there. The rest of the day we rested and then went to Harry Potter 7 part 2 that evening.</div><div>

It was a nice ride with pretty views. We even got to see the <a href="http://www.hebervalleyrr.org/">Heber Creeper</a> come by (the trail is just above the train tracks). After our ride and lunch we went kayaking again, this time at <a href="http://stateparks.utah.gov/parks/jordanelle">Jordanelle State Park</a> Rock Cliff. We didn't get much time in because bad weather was moving and it got windy. After a quick trip to Kamas to say goodbye to Bonnie and Kruz, we got cleaned up and headed up to <a href="http://www.danielssummit.com/the-resort/lodge-pole-grill/">Daniel Summit</a> to have dinner at the lodge. It was really nice and quiet up there and we got to see all the pretty flowers that were in bloom.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; color: #0000ee;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641942984177529474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPUXam5Xhd5YXjnLeqXaZGvb6NS6924HDj345qAWc7zsfaSI8JXRVxqa1uedMYJx6s78BCwCbOCm0cc9uofIowFy-HevNp9A-_bxSZdZOy3S6fm3GEK2OZSiDYonveXhc_pFIHQ_1R08c/s320/IMG_7396.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0000ee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641943533951193346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBbBcZv79l8wxhxYhOSrCmEl35at3E_SblhrdAnjpSRN-Z8unkS4IiyiYRFOTDfTN8ZIDCTEfecqLgG8zR4GfC9wTMMDrqWb8iNf-QeVPUhtiSM91NV-UPx5iRSBOuM2EFkxckHXhLeRs/s320/IMG_7416.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 240px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></span></span></div><div>Thursday, July 28</div><div>After taking advantage of sleeping in one more time we packed up to head home.

They played a couple of days and then the air conditioner went out at our rental house. It took a couple of day to get that fixed because it of course happened on the 24th holiday. The kids didn't seem to mind the sleepovers they had a grandma and grandpa's house, though. It made them feel like they were on vacation too. Thank you so much for watching our children so we could get away!</div><div>

Monday I went with her for an orientation day and she thought that she was going to get be have school too. She was a little sad to leave after 45 minutes of talking with the parents. So today she was so so excited and had a hard time waiting for it to be time to go, especially after Amber got on the bus. I had planned on going a little early so that I could get a couple of pictures of her in her classroom and with her teacher. Then as we were about half way there I realized that I had put my camera down so I could get Nathan's shoes on and hadn't picked it back up again! So we turned around and hauled back to get it. So after leaving early we ended up being late. I was able to get a picture of her with her teacher quick before I left. She said that she had a great day and loved it.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"></span></span><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiq8R6pKdOiUDpIRVTffg73pn1pa5z-VJTXI3JAqnh-qQ6unELq4ljn40u4Pg1q3aHduZ3Knu95gq4O0blmAvIeGeokFbwpYwVCXehchnPoUs8s7za2Qjnf15z3q9n9L9_9Bszz8ohEKY/s320/IMG_7788.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644514508247812754" /><div style="text-align: center;">Elle on Monday all ready to go to preschool even though it was for orientation.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHidiZaaFgRsTNK5LV3Ld3TIBegXzWB67Y3Ug79SxEvqOzYx0avj0y28aqY1U86AXrrYXKrXQJl02GJQHYVXDsl_8JIFRqTF3YljyS-L-dDXdwrn9BPDBmbYK2qRDosH7NTPDhl9cT78/s1600/IMG_7792.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFHidiZaaFgRsTNK5LV3Ld3TIBegXzWB67Y3Ug79SxEvqOzYx0avj0y28aqY1U86AXrrYXKrXQJl02GJQHYVXDsl_8JIFRqTF3YljyS-L-dDXdwrn9BPDBmbYK2qRDosH7NTPDhl9cT78/s320/IMG_7792.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644514505954880418" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Elle and Amber both set to go on Monday.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ91jnvEofekGTn1iiA9yZTVp96upOq_cMb-5VMgGgSCUoSLscBc4iTyT4PoW8LLkU7FYPcnFGlzq79Af8w0qmqcaNMqc9FG7-O9WjX5IQeMoowcsXTgHUs6QwmCCXmL-UcLOubVFfDJw/s1600/IMG_7812.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ91jnvEofekGTn1iiA9yZTVp96upOq_cMb-5VMgGgSCUoSLscBc4iTyT4PoW8LLkU7FYPcnFGlzq79Af8w0qmqcaNMqc9FG7-O9WjX5IQeMoowcsXTgHUs6QwmCCXmL-UcLOubVFfDJw/s320/IMG_7812.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644514499465739378" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Elle with her teacher Miss Melissa today.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsudXEND_EA_IU4PWaLC4Eo8DPN591PHjdiyWmnlAxMf-s36vzxTcsBhJLK4Q6Pska6Qt2HqXRI8uJEOoTcYeJY5L-LK8FhsTrnjRslC_AfBoBWmn9CNKiz3mu1ezfJteerhRcJJiw_U/s1600/IMG_7813.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUsudXEND_EA_IU4PWaLC4Eo8DPN591PHjdiyWmnlAxMf-s36vzxTcsBhJLK4Q6Pska6Qt2HqXRI8uJEOoTcYeJY5L-LK8FhsTrnjRslC_AfBoBWmn9CNKiz3mu1ezfJteerhRcJJiw_U/s320/IMG_7813.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644514498879900226" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Elle showing off her star she made in preschool.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQF9xugxQzXDVb0kPsYf4KERDQa1bILgJcuaAeXxOlRKQvX_nwisozKxJahjYJl9jFCCYP3BLV9M_apmXUd3SvnGPydPGhV6ieUKjAvwPImX6A_PAlCPL85HfalzBlUp_Ej6Hrz_Mjs4/s320/IMG_7814.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644515936173461922" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Elle: See it spells my name E L L E.</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsOMUzZ5p3knHVQ7CUfaJ2Brpd9Ov8At_ucbFfwXlTeQYm6SFOMmsogBzBu2Rl0ZXNGlOKnKPyhL5pOMWupY1FHxWhgsm1SDd4CoDyCc0E5JI9CKATujjSBT2G2ozjoV2yijVR_HBGBUc/s320/IMG_7815.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644515928091573266" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy girl!</div><div>

Taking a little at a time while we were in school and then doing more once we were off on our own. She worked so hard on very class and I don't think she ever got anything below a A- (maybe in math). After all her hard work she is finally done (hopefully for good for my dad's sake). She graduated with her Family Nurse Practitioner degree on August 12th. I was able to sneak up* to BYU in Provo and be there to support her in all her hard work. You are awesome Mom! I love you. Here is a little video I put together of her graduation.<div><iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/cOzCjUssUaM?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><div>

Amber is in Kindergarten! She has been counting down the days all summer long but it seemed to sneak up on us so fast. I thought that I was going to be okay with her going to Kindergarten because she has done preschool for a couple of years. Then I got home and thought about it and I got a little teary eyed because I couldn't believe that she has gotten so big. She is in real school now! How on earth did it happen so fast? I am sure I will be crying again tomorrow morning when I put her on the bus to school for the first time (I took her this morning). She is so grown up but in my head she is still my little Amber. </div><div>
<br /></div><div>Amber on the other hand didn't have any problems just taking off the second we got in the Kindergarten play yard. When she got home from school I asked her what she did and of course like any little kid, all she really remembered was that they got TWO recesses today. When I asked her what else she did she said she couldn't remember. I was able to get a little bit more out of her asking specific questions (did you learn your class rules? did you get to know anyones name?...) but that is all she really wanted to tell me. Here are some pictures from her first day.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJz9xkPDINzLRJmBTkC9RVqp6hMmlxVdlcwundxZUk3CFsCqANdGQBbhRkP5WOD5DXEnvh_-egEN_rNPx6os0LcqqdsTpzQw2GVRuqhKGdWhQlk8EHmJUamrjA8v9UWAPvJMkssslVOAk/s1600/IMG_7785.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJz9xkPDINzLRJmBTkC9RVqp6hMmlxVdlcwundxZUk3CFsCqANdGQBbhRkP5WOD5DXEnvh_-egEN_rNPx6os0LcqqdsTpzQw2GVRuqhKGdWhQlk8EHmJUamrjA8v9UWAPvJMkssslVOAk/s320/IMG_7785.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643866257306347314" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Dressed and ready to go.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPthTW3DlZFowEMNV7gEivSfHpLMN7wr52yHrKpAf_V5oR0j51W35jKJGA-heduQj-1ga9s5JbUHsoQgO5nBtyh2aZIMl_nQMT7XXWhNxPeTfrLX1gYLkcHIz7rIOSWuCthnoaC0XFbY/s1600/IMG_7794.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjPthTW3DlZFowEMNV7gEivSfHpLMN7wr52yHrKpAf_V5oR0j51W35jKJGA-heduQj-1ga9s5JbUHsoQgO5nBtyh2aZIMl_nQMT7XXWhNxPeTfrLX1gYLkcHIz7rIOSWuCthnoaC0XFbY/s320/IMG_7794.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643866254441142274" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Amber with her new teacher Mrs. Jones.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWWhK81V096TT7JCo7fIZxKGuT59gt61pajNwzeiGzoSt59JNKkdO8UvgFXCwvvNxuqqfYWLYq19TTYsa6q4TP-oQFNNWthI-OYNcPHApukBnSCPfI_pZBCIj188F0GmfBxhlezuwABM/s1600/IMG_7800.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGWWhK81V096TT7JCo7fIZxKGuT59gt61pajNwzeiGzoSt59JNKkdO8UvgFXCwvvNxuqqfYWLYq19TTYsa6q4TP-oQFNNWthI-OYNcPHApukBnSCPfI_pZBCIj188F0GmfBxhlezuwABM/s320/IMG_7800.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643866249564613650" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Amber lined up with her classmates (can you tell it is red day!?)</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghybr21n34xXXv3itZICw8ruwIeGzug1Dg-EeHXY9dSv7MHB4TnbfyiH-riseUsdr40zQGz__4yjGJtLRR-SYinliqv9-x1RFmk8uhr2rSlE5eFCNGb-cBjFiO-lnnUNCXtyJvTE-pLpM/s1600/IMG_7804.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghybr21n34xXXv3itZICw8ruwIeGzug1Dg-EeHXY9dSv7MHB4TnbfyiH-riseUsdr40zQGz__4yjGJtLRR-SYinliqv9-x1RFmk8uhr2rSlE5eFCNGb-cBjFiO-lnnUNCXtyJvTE-pLpM/s320/IMG_7804.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643866239959945906" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">She made it home.

As you can tell by the jackets it was a very cold day for St. George. Everyone was squeezed inside a tiny gazebo at the Vernon Worthen Park so as not to be out in the wind and on and off again ran. She was excited to sing all the songs for me but wasn't too excited to have to say goodbye to all her little friends and her teacher Ms. Kami. She has a lot of experiences at preschool most of them good. She was always excited to go to preschool and cried when she was sick and couldn't go. I can't believe that she will be going to kindergarten in a couple of months!? It makes me a little sad that that part is over and now she will be heading to an elementary school.</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR5VMpEIPMDEAesz0RvykHczCUaWTBRVseUVNmm8Dh43o-2_uQbca5i9YCdHeWSAq9sQItP1sx_DVhe3puICvpE-g4UYXmOSp2kJ_iSJ8DzZgK0Om5PnkeuPLE0yKzmhqMSSloM0Nyi3o/s320/IMG_6676.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610008213513827362" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN3zUAp7qWLXX47Icfo6h4naKeDWQrzRRQVndOsulGQK-VLFyvwLZyRi4FIGak01uBa-I3F2p4IiroRxhHpRgk3Uj8_jCxwJOejs43I6xmSi30uwt47FuI1VOPYMBn2xsVdpG8eODkQVY/s320/IMG_6675.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610008210694707250" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px; " /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstoSoBLgIYxsgJW1uabWLxiLNP4G3OQEJXroEjFlD8e_OXgJeyRrtglnlHantwHVUwHzUSk9sdK-70MpGvDQIHFtEJ9tt535_XbSrUzuCOWRFRUdJc67Dv0w-uwGPhs-Sn9izCsdWFI4/s320/IMG_6670.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5610008203902026658" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is all the kids from her school only half of them are from her class.
