First day of Pre-school

Hannah started preschool last week. She goes for a few hours one day a week. Four other moms in the ward and I rotate houses and treaching. She is having a really fun time and was so excited to begin school like Richard. Thank you to the fun moms helping us out!

And she couldn't wait to use her lunchbox, backpack, and school clothes!

Shoe Laces

They are getting better at it!

Family Squirrel Hunting Trip

Snacks on the drive there.


First signs of autumn and the slowly cooling weather!!!

Richard was so excited about all the leaves we were finding.

Hannah even brought her gun to shoot the squirrels.

We had to get this huge leaf, but in shadow form.

We did not see a single squirrel, there are far more in the city. Maybe there are just plentiful hiding places in the woods. But we did get to see some deer, had fun being together as a family, and went on a beautiful nature walk.

My angel babies

Richard wears a uniform to school and has to tuck in his shirts. So they are playing around and Hannah asked me to tuck in her shirt (this is a very unusual situation). So I did and she asked for her backpack. When I inquired Hannah replied, "I am going to school."


She proceeded to the next room and came back holding Richard's hand. "Richard is taking me to school." They are too funny!


We were waiting outside Chris's office today and I let the kids get out and play for a little while. Hannah came over to the car and asked to get back in. "I want to get in the car and comb my hair." LOL!!!


I was getting my temple clothes clean the other day and I put my dress on a hanger to dry in the front room. Hannah saw it and thought it was so "beautiful". Richard ran in from the other room and responded, "Wow. Mom, that looks just like Heavenly Mother's dress." What a sweet boy!
