My Boy

Paxton is ALL boy. If there is something to throw, he will throw it. If there is a sister to hit, he will do it. If there is a toy that he can make growl, he will. If there is dirt to play in...

Brynlee and Meg

Brynlee loves puppies. She talks about puppies. She asks for puppies. She wishes for puppies. Puppies. Puppies. Puppies. Yep, you get the picture. Here is a picture of Bryns with our not-so-much-a-puppy, Meg.




Meg is missed a ton by our family right now, but we are very grateful for such a sweet aunt and uncle who are dog-sitting for us!

Bryn's 1st Day of Preschool

Bryns started preschool in September. She only got to go for a month, but she loved Miss Kris and is hoping that she can go next year:-) Can you believe how big that backpack is compared to her???

Eastern Idaho State Fair

My kids love the fair! It is one of their favorite activities of the fall, exerecially since we get to visit daddy their. But, if daddy is getting bored, weird things happen. Like Taylee getting dressed as a phone...


Taylee and Bryns love getting their faces painted at the fair. It has become a tradition that cannot be skipped.



Grandma Gneiting worked in the quilting building this year. Taylee and Bryns were SO excited to show her their faces.


And what would the fair be without McKee's petting zoo?



Taylee participated in the jr. tractor pull and even made it to the finals. Go Taylee-babe!!


And here is Bryns cheering Taylee on.

1st Parade

We took the kiddos to the parade that kicks off the Eastern Idaho State Fair. It was their first parade and they LOVED it! Especially the candy!

Waving to the horses.

First Day of School in Kindergarten

Taylee started in kindergarten at Sunnyside Elementary in August. The little cutie was so excited she could barely sleep! I got to go to the first day of class with her. Together we did a scavenger hunt in which we found a bunch of stuff in the classroom, met the teacher, put all of her supplies away and did a couple of craft projects. I LOVED being a part of it. It made the second day of dropping her off a lot easier. Also, she has a TON of her little friends in class (Including the cute little boy who lives across the street that Taylee says is her boyfriend!)

Florida Trip Day 2

DISNEYWORLD!!!
I knew that we needed to go to Disneyworld first. Otherwise, we would be asked to go every 5 minutes. Taylee loved every minute of it. Brynlee...well, she asked to go home EVERY 5 minutes. Seriously.

Paxton on his first ride ever. He laughed and giggled the entire time!


Taylee has been asking to go on the Dumbo ride since she learned we were going to Disneyworld. It was a 50 minute wait (in humid 93 degree weather!) and Sean was such a sweetie and took the girls (Pax and I enjoyed a large water and ice cream in the shade:-)


The girls were so excited to meet their favorite characters. Here's the pictures :)





Paxton LOVED Pooh and Tigger! He giggled and patted their noses. In fact, the two characters followed us out of their air conditioned pavillion so that they could keep playing with him.

My cute family waiting in line. Check out the toddler model in the front!


We were able to take our whole family on the race car track. Sean, Taylee, and Paxton took one car (Taylee was a great driver!)

Brynlee drove our car. Yep, in 13 years, WATCH OUT!

As we started walking out of the park, a parade started on the main street. It was the perfect way to end the day! The girls were dancing, they got to wave goodbye to all their favorite characters, PERFECT!


Goodbye Disneyworld! We had tons of fun, but you wore us out!!
