Field Trip to the Fire Station

Ellie and her friends from Rising Star Pre-School

Ellie's pre-school class visited the West Point Fire Station this morning. I'm glad Ellie still thinks the fire trucks are cool considering this is her third trip to the station. She liked climbing on the truck, and thought it was funny when Teacher Trudi tried on the fire fighter's uniform. She had a fun time.

Can we come in yet?

1st Day of Nursery

The boys went to Nursery for the first time last Sunday. They thought it was pretty cool...as long as I was in the room too! They looked so handsome in their new church clothes. Sunday was also our ward's Primary Program. Ellie did so good on her part. She had it all memorized and said it just perfect. We were proud of all three of them!

Backyard Fun

David pushed John all around the yard. They were having a great time.

The boys have reached that stage where they want to be outside all the time. They go crazy when it's time to play outside! Here are some cute pictures of the kids playing around one evening while Eric mowed the lawn.

Ellie has a killer smile...and a great mustache from red punch!

Halloween Oreos

David and John have just discovered oreos. They love them, and ask for cookies ("gookies") all the time. The other night David really really enjoyed his orange Halloween oreo right before bed. I told him to say cheese, and he was giving me the best smiles. SO funny!

(Gotta love his tie-dye nightshirt... This was an activity we did with our cousins this summer.)

Pretty Little School Girl

There's a little song that Ellie and I like that starts out, "I am a pretty little school girl. As pretty, as pretty can be..." She certainly was a pretty school girl for her first day of pre-school on Tuesday. Ellie was so ready to start school! She goes to Rising Star Pre-School just down the street. She loves her teachers Trudi and Chaleese. She especially loves playing with the kids in her class and has already made a few new friends. We're so proud of her!
