New Painting

At the risk of being obnoxious, please indulge me in my excitement of just receiving my first, real, oil painting. Jason and I purchased it last night from some artists that are trying to start an Art Gallery on the West Coast. It was just so perfect for my house and looks amazing on the wall. We have never purchased art before, but we both felt good about this find!

(This picture doesn't do it justice, and we do not have it framed yet, but you get the idea)

Landon's Saucer

So, I finally went into the basement and cleaned off the baby saucer for Landon

He loves it!

Grandma's 85th Birthday

On Sunday, we went to Brigham City to celebrate my Grandma Darrington's 85th Birthday. We had a great time visiting with them and so many of our relatives.

(Grandpa's 95 and Grandma's 85 - they are doing so well)

Corbyn was getting a little bored

Amber was Grandma's little buddy for the day.
We are really grateful to have such wonderful Grandparents!

Reeder Family Reunion

Last night we had the opportunity of attending Jason's Family's Reunion in Layton. We had a lot of fun!

This is what grown men do when they are altogether
(This is Jason and three of his brothers)

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Brianna's first day of Kindergarten and she was so excited.

Gotta pose for mom (and of course, I had to show off the bloomed Hibiscus - sp?)

First time on a bus - I caught her mid-stride

Our Principal and Vice-Principal welcomed the kids - Brianna was feeling a little unsure where to go

Brianna's new teacher, Mrs. Kunze, welcomed the kids to class - she is going to be great!!

Quiet Time

So, I told the girls we needed a little quiet time today and had them go up to their rooms.

This is what I found in room one

I love my cute girls!

First Day of School

The kids were super excited to start school today!

Kelsea - 3rd Grade

Corbyn - 1st Grade
(He insists on the comb over!)

Buds!!

Corbyn's teacher is Miss Eliason and I had a really good feeling about her when I met her. She'll be great for Corbyn!!

Kelsea - waiting in line to go in. What a sweetheart.
