IT'S SOCCER TIME...Tate has been playing Soccer and it is really entertaining. The girls on the team dominate the boys and the little guys just chase the little gals to the goal.

Dylan's VIP......

Mr. D had his VIP at school on Friday. We are so blessed to have him in our family. Mike and I have always said we don't know what we did right to have such a great kid. He is such a great kid and loves to learn new things. He is taking off on reading and is so inquisitive. For his VIP our little family attended his class. Grandpa and Grandma Green came and Lulu even came along. Lulu was well liked by his class members and Tate was excited to walk her using her leash. Dylan was asked some questions by classmates at his VIP. Here are some of the questions and answers.

What is your favorite food? Dylan: Barbecue ribs (really, we thought he liked mac & cheese).

What is your favorite place to go on vacation? Dylan : Disneyland

What is your favorite letter? Dylan: Letter Y. (not sure why....we are Ute fans)

What is your favorite ice cream? Dylan: strawberry ice cream

I was going to get a picture of Mr. D with his VIP poster, but in all the haste I forgot to take a picture. I will post a picture later after he brings his poster home next week.

TATE STARTS PRESCHOOL...........

He was dressed and ready to go at 7:30;backpack and all. Mrs. Hermansen is his teacher this year and he has a few friends in his class. He told me, "mom I had a SUPER day."

He wanted me to take a picture of his "Cars," backpack.

Tate and his friend Joey. Joey has his "special birthday hat." They loved their first day of preschool.

CURIOUS GEORGE............

This is Tate's new best friend since Dylan has started school. George is always present and he is even disciplined by his owner. He joins us for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and is always present. We even have to brush his teeth and change him into his pajamas at bath time. Tate announces to his little friends, "Here's George," and George is always there playing with all of Tate's friends. It is really sweet until you leave George home and then it becomes a BATTLE.

THE FIRST GRADE JOURNEY BEGINS............

Dylan was ready for school at 8:00 with his backpack and all. Too bad school starts at 9:00. It was really hard for him to wait for another hour. He loves school and has been so excited for first grade.
Daddy took this classic photo of the sun in our eyes. I loved it. FYI: the 4 year old was ready for school at 8:00 as well. Too bad preschool is only 3 weeks away from starting.

He is growing so fast. Where is that button to pause time?

Dylan found his friend Braxton and they are in the same class this year. He was excited about that. His teacher is Mrs. Gotberg and he really likes being in her class. He does come home tired and sometimes a bit cranky. Going to school all day has been an adjustment, but he is loving first grade; homework, lunch time, recess, and all.

OUR ANNUAL "KING'S FEAST"...............
Dylan has been reminding me about having the "King's Feast," at least a month before school even started. We had our feast the first day of school. The boys made their crowns this year with Daddy and we had a great time discussing our goals for the up-coming school and preschool year. We had lemon pepper salmon(Dylan's favorite food), steamed green beans and artichoke dip with pita chips. For dessert we had angel's food cake with strawberries. You can see that Tate colored a little more then just his crown this year:)

We love this tradition and I am glad Mike and I started it a year ago. It has become a fun family event.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE..............
Our Wedding Day....13 years ago. It was the best day and I can't believe it has really been that long ago. I still remember some words of advice that were given to us and they were something to the effect of.... you will love each other more the longer you are married. You will have joys, sorrows, laughter, trials, times of growth, and you will create wonderful memories. All this brings a love which is unconditional and strong and that is true happiness.
For our Anniversary we traveled to St. George (where we were married) and went to Tuacahn. We had a nice romantic dinner and then stayed in the same suite we had on our wedding night. Colby and Toni watched the little guys and we appreciate them for taking care of them.


We saw "Grease" and both of us really enjoyed it. Mike loved all the motorbikes and cars. I loved the music.

Love you Babe and I can't wait to see what the next 13 years will bring!
