To catch up on what we have been doing lately...do you really want to ask? Other than getting the girls ready for school (which has been quite the task), we have celebrated Zoey's birthday, enjoyed the Demolition Derby as well as other events for the Summit County Fair, lost a first tooth, injuries from work, braved a hot dog roast in mom and dad's backyard (1st fire since the accident), celebrated my birthday with girls day at Swiss Days, and finally got Maizy to ride her bike without training wheels. It has been a busy month to say the least.
Here are a few shots of Zoey's party-she has changed so much over the last few months. It is amazing what a smart and beautiful little girl she is turning out to be.
Here is Casey's eye injury from work. He threw a box on top of something and it chucked a piece of wood at his eye. Luckily it was just bruising and a cut with no eye damage.
Maizy's first tooth. Still not sure if it was meant to come out or it got loose from her supposed injury at the dinner table where she just started crying while eating a hot dog and her gum had split down and was bleeding.
One of the most challenging things has been trying to figure out how to get one kid to morning Preschool and back in time to get the other one to afternoon Kindergarten (which we were forced into-grrrr). Trying to figure out carpooling for both Preschool and Kindergarten has also been interesting. Our week will be crazy but the girls are loving school so far. Zoey has Preschool Mon and Wed from 09-11. We somehow have to pick her up, drive the 15 minutes from Henefer while stuffing something for lunch in Maizy's mouth since she has to be to school by 11:15. Possible??? We're not quite sure yet, but we are trying.
Here are a few pictures of the girls first day of school. Maizy is here with her friend Isabelle.
Last, but not least...Maizy riding her bike without training wheels. I had been trying to convince her for months that she doesn't need them. Every time someone even brought up the fact that we should take the training wheels off she would throw a fit...tears and all. Today I convinced her-after tears-to try one off. After riding with just one for a while and showing her she didn't need it, she finally let me take off the other one. DRAMA for nothing and she is so excited!
