Well Olivia had her first day of preschool today. She woke up at 7:10 and was dressed and ready to go (make up and everything -thanks Lexie!) by 7:15. She has been really excited! So we ate breakfast and then drove her to school. We had to wait in the foyer for about 10 minutes because we were early and she got a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of kids there. There are about 200 kids in her preschool, ages 9 months to 5 years. She was also a bit disappointed that she had to share her classroom and teachers with other kids!! "but I thought it was my classroom Mommy!!" She did great though. I walked out with Ellie who was asking, "Where's my classroom Mommy?', Ellie you don't get one yet!! and then I went out to my car and cried like a baby. My little girl is off to preschool. so soon!! Jaron and I are both pretty emotional and ready to withdraw her. for ourselves. she wants to go though so we'll give her a couple of months and see how things go.

My dad has always been so good at reading to us and now to our children.
Ellie and Aiden bonding! I think they were being puppies.
And it came to pass, he had a son exactly in his same likeness..... My brother Dave and his son Aiden.

Grandma Norma and Olivia! okay so not the best picture but I love my grandma so much!! She is the best!!

Well, we really were quite busy in Idaho. We played lots of softball, rode horses a few times. I fell off a horse!!! pictures to come. I can finally lay flat on my back. it took about 3 weeks to heal! ow! and we had picnics, watched lots of fireworks, legal and illegal and had a great time!! Hopefully we'll be moving home this time next year!! get that resume out baby!!

While we were waiting for fireworks, my dad read to the girls!! My mom is really tired as she has just gotten home from Texas!

Olivia and Daddy on the plane. Olivia loves to get white pop on the plane. She's quite the traveler!! So most of you know we went home for a really quick trip in July. Jaron bought tickets on Friday, we flew out on Monday, played for a week trying to divide time equally between both families and the whew! we were home!! I feel bad I didn't really get to see all my friends but hopefully we'll be home for Christmas and I can stay for a few weeks. ANYWAY. so here are a few pictures. The flight there was awesome!! We flew out at 2:30 and both of the girls only wanted to sit by Jaron so I played alot of electronic yahtzee and read magazines!! I think Jaron had fun too!! ha ha!
Ellie looking out the window. so cute. We had a tea party at Grandma Sue's house with all of Olivia's cousins.
