Kindergarten (I only cried a little)

We survived the first week of Kindergarten!
Kody was a little nervous on the first day, but has overcome his fears and absolutely loves his new school!
He has a great teacher, Mrs. R, who has been teaching Kinder for quite a while and just loves these little ones. She is so sweet! Day one was this past Monday, and it was just an hour to help the children get familiarized with the teacher and class. Parents stayed, so you can imagine it was a little crazy.We only live about a half mile from the school, so we have been walking him to and from school.Here he is with the school mascot.This picture is for Grandma B, otherwise known as the Frog Grandma!
Yesterday when I got to the school to pick him up I noticed this red stuff all over his shorts. Mrs. R assured me it wasn't blood, just frosting from the birthday cupcakes that his classmate brought. Seriously folks, who brings cupcakes with RED frosting to a kindergarten class?!? Apparently, Kody had some fun with the red frosting and covered himself from head to toe. In the picture, I had already started to douse the stains with my trusty stain remover (thanks Chel, it works like a dream!) when I decided to take a picture for posterity. So no, that's not blood and pee on his shorts! And would you believe, it all came out!

Yosemite National Park

On Saturday morning we headed out bright and early for Yosemite National Park. Yay!

It was so beautiful, I'm always amazed at the wonders that our Heavenly Father created for us.The kids were all little troopers too, which made the trip even more special! The park was very crowded, but we managed to find our way to a few secluded areas. We had so much fun "hiking" around and getting dirty,and the favorite activity of the day was throwing big rocks into the river.

So many people thought Madi was a boy that I've decided to fight her to fix her hair anytime we go out. Any suggestions?

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Or something like that! Okay, I have a hard time coming up with new and interesting titles. Miss Mollie got a haircut this weekend! I've been thinking about it for a while now, and finally bit the bullet. I was getting a trim anyway, so Mollie tagged along and got a new big girl haircut.She was so brave and good, I'm sure she was a little nervous.
Now she wants it even shorter, like her friend Maggie, but I have my limits. One step at a time!
Isn't she so cute?? Thanks Amy, we love our hair!
