Kenzie's first day of School

So yesterday was Kenzie's first day of preschool. I got to go and stay with her since it was her first day and she had so much fun! Of course her first thing to talk about is the playhouse on the playground, but she also loved making "bug soup" and singing songs with all the other kids. They practiced some letters and it was so neat to see that she knew so many already. In her class there is a girl named Kinlee and also a McKinlee and a Brooke, that they call Brookie, she thought that was pretty funny. I really think she's going to have a lot of fun there. I just can't believe my little girl has grown up so fast!

Willow Park

Last week Clint and I took McKenzie, Brooklyn & Savanah to Willow Park. The first thing in the park is the monkeys and they all three loved watching them climb around.
And as always feeding the ducks is a big hit with the little kids. Brookyln and Savanah kept sticking their whole hands in there and the theres so many ducks they are a little rough. I was afraid they were gonna get bit and really hurt but luckily they made it home with all their fingers intact.

Boating at Twin Lakes

Saturday we borrowed Grandpa's boat for the day and went to Twin Lakes in Idaho. Donald and Judy and their family came and also some friends of ours. Mostly the girls loved playing in the shallow water and sand again. This was the first time Brookyln was on the boat and she LOVED it.

She HAD to sit all by herself which was scary for me! She didn't even want me to hold onto her hand, I'd try and she'd shake me off every time. She such a little daredevil I was nervous but she just sat there and enjoyed the wind blowing through her hair.
Kenzie on the other hand is not so brave, she sat by herself for a minute......then decided she was safer to sit with Uncle Clint.I can't blame her though, I have to admit that she gets that from me. I have never even been out on the tube behind the boat before but I finally tried it. I made Chad just putt around while I was on it and I didn't stay on long. Sorry but no pictures were allowed of that since I'm sure I looked like a total dork! I will try it again though, when I get the nerve again :) I apparently need to try it laying down or kneeling, that's what all the guys did and they had too much fun trying to get each other to fall off going over big waves really fast! Fun that is til Sunday when the sore muscles set in!

Clint and I took the girls out on the air mattresses. Kenzie could have done it all day but the little busy bee wanted off as soon as she got on, she's not much for sittin still. :)

Bear Lake

Every year around the 24th we go with the Liebes Family to Bear Lake for a family Reunion. This year we went Saturday and stayed overnight til Sunday. Most of Saturday we spent at the lake. McKenzie and Brooklyn loved the warm shallow water and playing in the sand.

After going to the lake we went back to camp and made dutch oven dinner together. We always get to much sun and not enough sleep when we go there but we ALWAYS have a lot of fun together!

Pioneer Day

Pioneer Day we went to fireworks at the park with Troy, Holli & Savanah. The girls love to play with thier uncles and while we were waiting for the fireworks to start Troy was doing push ups with them on his back. My girls loved it but.....

Savanah wasn't so sure

Camping trip!

So I'm a little late getting these posted but we went camping this weekend with our family and a lot of our friends. We went to Newton Dam and stayed Friday til Sunday. We did a little fishing, swimming, 4-wheeling, some of us went out on a friends boat, we played in the sand-and dirt and even flew a kite for a while. It was so much fun. We had our dog, Dazey and Troy had his dogs too, they were totally loving the water. Dazey won't fetch, but she kept pacing the shore and when waves would come in she'd bite at them, it was so funny!

We played in the water a little, all it took was a little stumble and getting their faces wet and both the girls were DONE!! Here they are drying on the beach after their stumbles.

Davin eating dirt! What a bad boy, huh! :)

Poor Brookyln. She is so good at naptime and bedtime, we just put her in bed and she goes right to sleep. She just didn't know what to do to get herself to sleep, this was the only other way she would go to sleep.

I've posted more pictures from our camping trip on the Taylor Family website @ http://www.kstaylorfamily.blogspot.com/

So Kenzie will be going to preschool this fall and I've been trying to get her to spell and write her name, last night we finally mastered her spelling it aloud!

She got a jump rope for her birthday and she loves it but isn't so good at it yet so the other day Chad was helping her learn to jump over it.

Also that night Brooklyn finally figured out how to get her feet turned so she can go down the slide all by herself. Before, she could get to the top of the ladder and since she won't talk much yet she'd sit and go Uh! Uh! Uh! until you came and set her on the slide so she could go down. Here's she is so proud of herself!

Boy Oh Boy! Are we in trouble. Brooklyn has developed this bad stubborn streak, it's unbelieveable! Last night she was refusing to eat dinner and kept throwing her head back. Look at the face she was pulling when I tried to give her a bite! I can't believe it caught it on camera!

Don't worry - after a few minutes she finally gave up and ate.

I didn't intend for this to be so long, hope I kept your attention all the way to the end!

Happy Anniversary!

Today we celebrate 8 years of marriage, 10 years together. It's gone by so fast and we've been blessed in so many ways.
