JJ's 5th Birthday (x2)
First we celebrated with his cousin Sam in August! We made this cool monster truck cake for these crazy boys. Yum!

Then, we celebrated on the actual day, September 15!
JJ got a soccer ball, a trampoline, some locks with keys (for treasures) and stuff for his bike! So Fun :)

"Horsing" around at our ward FHE!!!

BACK TO SCHOOL
The girls started school the end of August.
Bethany is in 3rd grade and Marcee is in 5th. They like their teachers and are glad to be back with their friends. Marcee loves math and reading, and is excited for field trips. Bethany loves writing and reading, and is excited to learn to write in cursive.

Jameson started today. This year he will go to pre-school 3 times a week. (What will I do with all that free time I'll have now?)
He loves teacher Melanie, reading time and playing with his best friend Chloe!

August Review

The girls went to Broadway camp for 2 weeks. Right before the big show, we had a party for our "cast". We served munchkin pizzas, yellow brick road bread sticks and a rainbow of fruit. Grandma Connie made ruby slipper cookies, yum ! Bethany had a speaking part as the Barrister and Marcee was one of the witches guards. Both were perfect munchkins too:)

We took the girls to see the Lion King. This is the second musical they have been to. They said it was "fun, entertaining, impressive and smart how they did those costumes."

For Marcee's 10th birthday we had an art party. The pottery teacher at the high school taught her and some friends how to make a clay pot. The pots will now get fired and the girls will have a fabulous keepsake. After playing with they clay, we had donuts, fruit and presents. They birthday girl said it was "the best party ever!"
