Water World

Last Sunday, to celebrate the end of summer, Mike and I took the older girls to Water World. We had been wanting to go all summer and we just ran out of time. We picked a very HOT day. It was 97! We had such a blast! The girls are at a perfect age to do this. There were so many rides that the four of us could do together! I wasn't able to get any pictures of us actually riding the rides but we did get some of the girls' on their favorite slides!!

Warrior Dash

Last Saturday, Mike ran his first 5K since I have known him. However, it was a different sort of race. It was your typical 5k up a mountain with an obstacle course! Crazy! The racers really got into the whole Warrior Theme. There were a lot of outrageous costumes. We tried to watch Mike at various parts of the race. My favorite part was the mud pit. He had to climb under barbed wire fencing which was covered in mud. Needless to say he was covered at the finish line! He had a great time and he finished with a great time too!

Belmont Talent Show

A couple of Saturday's ago, we attended our street talent show. The kids had so much fun! Our girls did ballet of course. It was great to see all the talents!

Molly's First Day

Molly started school today! She was a pro because she is at the same school as last year. It was kind of anticlimatic acutally. She walked into the room, hung up her backpack and started playing with play dough. We had to beg for a picture with her.

KINDERGARDEN

What a milestone today was. My baby started Kindergarden. Her whole life has been flashing before my eyes the last couple of weeks. I did better at drop off then I thought I would. Only shed a couple of tears. The day is not any longer than the preschool day but she's in a school with big kids! She of course did GREAT! My baby is growing up!!

Clay and Haircuts

This past Tuesday we had a very busy day! The girls had their last day of Clay Class. They have been taking this class for about six weeks now with Nathan and Brooke. It was a wonderfully taught class and they came home with a lot of cool clay projects.





After lunch we headed to Cool Cuts. Our favorite place to get a haircut. Who wouldn't love getting their haircut while watching a movie? I decided to get Rachel her first haircut as well. She just got a little bit trimmed off the ends. Hated every minute of it. I had to hold her on my lap. She was best friends with the stylist AFTER her cut was over and she got a sucker!





My big pretty girls after their back to school do's!!

Weekend in the Springs

This past weekend we went to Colorado Springs with the Hulquests. We stayed in a great hotel with a awesome suite and a pool. And had a lot of fun!!
On Saturday we went to the Zoo. The highlight of the zoo was getting to feed the geraffs. I think that I enjoyed it more than the girls did. They were a little scared of their LONG tongues.






Saturday night we went on a hike at the Garden of the Gods. Great weather and gorgeous views!






Sunday, we spent the entire day at Santa's Workshop in the North Pole. They kids enjoyed riding all the rides!! We even got to give Santa a few ideas for under the tree!!
