This is my 5th post today. Things have been busy around here and I decided that today I would do these in between loads of laundry. Wow! collages are so fast and easy. You may be seeing lots more on this blog. Thanks Kindy for the idea.
So now for my last post today. We went on Saturday to pick corn that the church plants for all the members of our stake to pick for their personal use. We came home and canned 14 quarts of it. We are also growing some of our own corn because Tom gets special seeds that produce amazingly delicious corn. Yu...mmy!
Kya is so excited to finally get to go to school with Conor. Well, come home with him that is. She is in afternoon Kindergarten and she was so excited to get to ride the bus home. Unfortunately she somehow did not get on the bus the first day so she got to ride it home the second day.
I have to admit I cryed a little that first day. I'm really going to miss my little sidekick while she's at school. Crew was so sweet, when he saw me crying he gave me kisses. I'm glad I have my little Crew bud with me while the other two are at school. Daddy came home for lunch the second day so he could come with us to bring Kya to school. He loves to get to do stuff like that.
Even though mom is a cry baby and misses them tons, Conor and Kya are both loving school!
On the 4th we got to mostly hung out with our new ward family. We love being members of our church. Wherever we move to we have an instant family! So in the morning we went to our ward pancake breakfast and bike parade. The kids had a blast decorating their bikes and then showing them off at the church. Then off to the really long and really hot parade. We had to buy popsicles so as not to die from the heat. The stampede of longhorns at the beginning was the best part. We should have left after that. If you click on the collage and see the stampede pic up close it looks like one of the longhorns wanted to charge the kids. crazy. We went home after that and barbequed and rested before heading out to Kya's primary teachers house for fireworks and smores. This was their reward for being good during class at church. Families were invited. Thanks Kya for being good. The party was fun. Tom said he had never met someone who was more of a pyro that he was. Bro. Steiber's fireworks show was amazing. On the way we pulled over to watch the end of the towns fireworks. It was like being on a date since the kids weren't awake. How romantic.
No more training wheels for this guy! We're so proud of you Conor T. Conor wanted me to post these pics. This just happened a few minutes ago and he wants to surprise his daddy and grandparents and Aunties and Uncles with his great accomplishment. We will go and call Daddy now and tell him to check our blog.
Grammy made this dress for Kya. Isn't it beautiful! Kya wore it to church one Sunday and said, "this is what I want to wear for my first day of school!" I actually bought the pattern and fabric a while ago and didn't get around to sewing it so my mom did it for me. She's the best! I get my love of sewing from her. Thanks mom. You are amazing.
