Preschool Days

Jaxon officially started preschool today. This is his second year, he just barely misses the deadline for Kindergarten, dangit! We are both so excited for school! We have had a pretty uneventful summer this year since I have not had a whole lot of energy to do much. He has been suffering from a pretty bad case of boredom the last month or so. Plus I am looking forward to having a few months of one-on-one time with Ashlyn before the babies arrive.

Ward Camp Out

Our ward camp out was on Friday night. I wasn't going to go because I had to work on Thursday and Saturday, and Doug was away hunting. Luckily I have some great friends in the ward that offered to help and let us sleep in their tent so we were able to go. I am so glad we went! I was having my usual uncontrollable outburst of crying earlier in the week and apparently all I needed was some fresh mountain air. We went up and ate great food, had good conversations, and played with friends. Both my kids slept beautifully through the night, which is always a plus when you are sharing a tent with another family. I came home feeling refreshed and happy. Thanks to everyone who planned the activity, I think it was a great success!

Good Food.

New Bunkbeds

Last night was Ashlyn's first night in a 'big girl bed.' Since the kids will be sharing a room when the babies get here I thought it would be smart to get Ashlyn out of her crib and into a bed now. I didn't want her to feel like the babies kicked her out of her room and her bed. This is how they fell asleep last night.....little cuddle bugs!

Sorry about the picture quality, something is obviously wrong with our camera. The screen stopped working, but I thought it was still taking decent pictures, apparently not.
