First Day of School

Do I even need to say more??? My Baby girl started school. My life is over!!! :) I'm SO proud of her. What a glorious moment for a momma. Michaella asked me "Mommy why do you have a frog in your throat?" I told her it was because I was SO happy.

She was complaining because the sun was in her eyes... So this is what we got. Not her best look.




This was the first day of dropping her off at Kindergarten and her being there all by herself. We got there and she was nearly dragging me. She got there, dropped her backpack and hurriedly gave me a kiss and said "Bye Mom" running to the toys. That about killed me. But then....

This was her look as I walked off. So she screamed "MOM!" with a concerned look "bye mom". And I knew she still needed me. Phew!

Utah Aug 'o9

This was Michaella's first time ever out on a boat. Well other than Daddy's pontoon. And she LOVED it. She said "Mom I want Josh to go faster and never stop!"


Really this video is me... I'm going to fire the videographer... but it's me. Sorry Mom. But I have to publish this one way or the other for evidence.

This was my very first time wakeboarding. Yes I got up on my first time. I didn't know this was a truly amazing feat, but I think it's because I'm like totally buff and I have some serious guns. So you better watch out because you don't want to mess with Mrs T, if you know what I mean.

On Saturday I was able to catch up with a couple good ol' High School Friends" We had a great time and I think the kids got a long pretty well.

Big Girl

I finally moved Michaella out of the toddler bed and into a "Big Girl Bed". She was so excited and she has done so well staying in her room and making it through the night with out having to go to the bathroom. I wish I would have done it sooner!

Debbie this Video is for you!

Willow

Willow has been an excellent addition to our family. Yes, I know now the humans are outnumbered but we still love it. I know this post won't be the most exciting for all, but she is an amazing dog and probably our smartest yet. Attached is a video of her retrieving from the water at 10 weeks. And also a picture comparison to Winston so you can see my giant of a dog!

I took Michaella to fireworks a couple days before the fourth. It was her first big fireworks show...other than Daddy's that is.

JONAS BROTHERS!!

As you all must know... Michaella loves the Jonas Brothers. And the good ol JB came to NAMPA ID of all places. So months ago I did everything I could to get tickets and keep it a suprise from Michaella. She had NO clue! She didn't figure it out until they starting singing. She just calmly turns to me and says "I am going to HAVE to tell the kids at school about this" then averts her attention right back. Mike did come...evidence below.... but he only lasted about a 1/2 hr. And we planned for that. After he left Michaella let loose and got her Jonas Brother's on! See video.

My Little Cleaner Helper Gal

I've been wanting to get a maid for awhile. This is what I can afford. Check out the song she is singing while she swiffers. Those who don't watch commercials will be left confused.

Blog Overload

The First part of June we took a little trip over to Idaho Falls for my Grandpa's 80th birthday party... it was cold and wet but it was well worth it. Here are pictures of Michaella with her Grandma and Grandpa Great and also with her 2nd cousin, Ethan. She fit right it even though she hadn't met most of the family before.

Our Next favorite part of July is Snake River Dayz and the Stampede Rodeo. This year we also made it over to the Farmer's Market and to a Movie under the Stars. It was Hotel for Dogs and had a whole Dog theme and Activities for kids, it was a lot of fun.
