#1 Dad...

This post is dedicated to Mark! Since I have gone back to work full time, Mark takes care of the girls in the morning until I get home and he leaves for work. The one thing that I can't complain about ever is what a great dad he is. He LOVES his girls and I am glad they get to spend so much time together. He is so good about taking pictures during their morning to show me how much fun they have had. Although he doesn't do things how I would (because you all know my way is the right way) he does a great job and the girls sure do love their daddy! Here are some pictures of their mornings....good thing I pick out Tali's clothes for preschool!!See Kenya in the back with no shirt and a camo hat on!!

Tali's first day of Preschool

The time has come for Tali to start preschool! I have been talking to her about it for awhile now and she has been so excited to finally be able to go to school. Tuesday was her first day! I got her ready and off we went. We got to Miss Katie's preschool and she jumped right out of the car followed by "see ya mom!" I say "I will walk you to the door"..bad idea!! We got to the door and she just started crying. I ended up staying for a minute then just left her crying. Mark went and picked her up after school and she was so excited to tell us all about it! She is all ready for show and tell tomorrow so hopefully no more tears!
Go UTES!!

Finally.....

So I have finally updated our blog! I have just finished 11 new posts...scroll down to check them all out. Just a few other updates, we are all alive and doing well. Mark and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary in June....time flies by when you are having fun..right?? I completed my first 10K run on July 24th. I loved it and can't wait for my next run. Mark started school again last week. With our crazy schedules it worked out best for him just to take an online class this semester. Stayed tuned for Tali's first day of preschool, she starts next week!!

Willow Pond Park

On Saturday also after we left the Aquarium we decided to stop off at Willow Pond Park and let the girls run through the water. Kenya was not having it, which is surprising she usually loves the water. She was more interested in the playground than she was with getting wet. Tali on the other hand loved it. She would run through covering her eyes so that the water wouldn't get in them!!

Living Planet Aquarium

On Saturday we had such a fun day. After spending the morning at the Farmers Market we took the girls to the Living Planet Aquarium. Tali & Kenya loved seeing all the fish.

Go UTES!!

This is Marks latest art project at our house....just in time for football season!

What to do??

Tali decided to comb her hair and this was the end result.... I was able to untangle the comb and she only lost a few strands of hair!

Tali is 3!!!

Tali turned 3 on July 29th! Since it was in the middle of the week I made her a small cake and got her a little gift to open on her special day. She called me at work when she woke up and I sang happy birthday to her and then she blew out her candles. On Saturday we had a party for her. She wanted a Tinkerbell party so that is what she got! All her cousins came and we had a great time. We played pin the star on Tinkerbell's wand, had a BBQ with lots of good food, had a Tinkerbell pinata and enjoyed lots of Tinkerbell cake thanks to Grandma Crosland for all her hard work making the cakes so cute. Tali wore her Tinkerbell dress the entire party just like a princess!

Uncle John, Aunty Missa & Kadee gave her two goldfish and a bowl....so sad the fish only lasted a couple of days! They have sinced been replaced with a blue beta.
