Just a few highlights this past week. Here's Faith sporting braids with her horse shirt looking so cute for school. She loves kindergarten and is having fun. She did say to me the other day, "Mom, I know all the stuff there. Is she ever going to teach me something new?" She's a smartypants!









And Christian doing one of his favorite activities--popsicle scarfing!
It's been pointed out to me that there are tons of pictures of the kids on this blog and even some of Tony, but none of me. Faith expertly took this picture to remedy that.



Here's Buddy enjoying a patch of sunlight with his doggy and kitty.




The kids enjoying some bike riding on a beautiful day.






Christian LOVES to get into the pantry, fridge or freezer and get everything out. He's figured out how to open cupboard doors, too. Time for some major childproofing!





On Tuesday the 18th Christian took his first step!!! It was to me and he wasn't happy about it at all, I kind of tricked him into it, but it was a step! Here is a picture of Faith trying to get him to do one for her.




Yesterday Faith had to have two teeth pulled to make room for her front bottom permanent teeth to come forward. She was so brave!










Faith made me some beautiful drapes for the family room. They have a jungle animal theme with a maccaw, aligator, tiger, anaconda (snake), giraffe, lion, elephant & monkey on each with fringe at the bottom. I bet you wish you had paper drapes made by such an artist!!

Sorry this entry is over a week late, we have been busy around here!



August 28, 29 & 30 Tony took off work to finish the sprinkler system and finish grade the yard. He worked very hard on it, but still had to have Tyler and his friend rake most of the day on the 31st.



On Thursday, August 30th, I packed my things, well I tried to pack around the baby in my suitcase! Christian and I headed off to Park City to stay the night and Faith got to sleep over with Jordan & Sierra.



Friday morning we drove into Midway early for Swiss Days, which is a giant outdoor craft fair. It would have been more fun if Christian had gotten more sleep and didn't scream for the first few hours of it. Still, I got a few things and had fun with my mom, Joy, Sarah and her kids Alaura & Noah.



On Saturday, September 1st we layed the sod for our front and side yards! We had lots of help: dad, mom, Eric, Brad, Jordan and even pregnant little Joy. Oh, and I have to mention that Faith was also a cute little helper, dragging the heavy rolls of sod and tucking the edges like a pro.

It was hard work, but only took about three hours!









Since we were busy with the lawn on the 1st, we had Christian's birthday party on Monday. We had a barbeque with chicken breasts on the grill and lots of salads brought by the family.


Christian got tons of cute toys, books and clothes and thoroughly covered himself with chocolate cake!





















Tuesday the 4th Christian had to go to the doctor for his one year checkup and shots. Here he is enjoying the fish tank in the lobby.









Thursday was an exciting day, Faith's first day of Kindergarten! She absolutely loves school and also riding the bus. I can't believe how grown up she is!
Saturday evening Faith went bowling with her aunt Tammy and her cousin Zach. She slept over at Grandma & Grandpa Braegger's and had lots of fun. Tony, Christian & I went out to eat at Lucky Buffet. They have two cement Chinese statues that resemble lions at the front door and when we walked past them Christian pointed and said "Dog!" and then panted like a dog. He's hilarious, he won't say "dada" and says "mom" all the time, like it means almost everything, but he can say "dog," pant like a dog, and meow like a cat.
I've been busy a couple of days last week and every day this week babysitting for a lady in my ward. She has two boys, 8 & 5, and I watch them from 6:10 am (youch, way early for me!) until they leave for school at 8:25 and then the younger one after kindergarten until 4:00. They are cute kids and Christian loves having a playmate while Faith's gone to afternoon Kindergarten.
Hopefully it won't be more than two weeks until my next update!
