Preschool!

My little Stockton isn't so little anymore!  He started preschool! 

He had mixed feelings about it, he was excited to learn new things, but he wasn't excited about going all by himself.  He wanted Mommy and Daddy to stay with him.  (Major separation anxiety lately.) We got him a few new outfits for school.  He LOVED this tractor shirt (we got a matching tractor hat as well, but probably won't be wearing that to school.)  Then we found these little shoes with bulldozers on the heel.  When he saw them he freaked!  He had to have them! 

When I asked him what kinds of things he was going to learn at preschool he said, "Letters, numbers, how to swim, and how to drive a dump truck!"  I told that to his teacher and she said, "Hum... I'm going to have to brush up on my dump truck driving skills!" 

He desperately wanted a picture with his baby sister.



 Sadly the situation turned very ugly very quickly.  We pulled up to the preschool and he wouldn't get out of the car.  I finally got him out with a promise that we would go to McDonald's if he were a good boy at preschool.  (Shameless bribery!)  We got out then quickly turned and started running down the street in the opposite direction!  Brady had to run after him.  Then Brady went in with him, he wouldn't let Brady out of his reach.  Finally Brady left him screaming with his teacher after a few mins.  I was so worried about him!  I came home and cried and cried!  How can my baby be in school?!


But, this is what I found when I picked him up!  A happy smiling boy that loved every second of his first day of preschool! And he ate a happy meal for lunch ;)
 He has gotten better and better everyday that I drop him off at preschool and he loves it!  He comes home so eager to share what he has learned and show me what projects he worked on.  Love it!

Snowbird

My parents were staying up in Snowbird for a week, so we went up to visit for the day.  It was so beautiful up there!  The leaves were starting to change, but it was still a gorgeous warm day.

We went swimming down at the big pool.  

Stockton liked the the hot tub the best.  


Grandma and Grandpa couldn't get enough of Baby Savannah!



Stock was done so Grandpa took him back to the room.  They adore each other, it's so cute!


But, then once he got to the room, he decided he wanted to get back into the hot tub out on the deck!

Later the Donahue's arrived and they couldn't wait to see Savannah!  The little kids got in the hot tub.  And the big kids went down to the arcade (by big kids I mean Alex and Brady).  Then suddenly the fire alarm went of in the whole building!  And they got over the intercom and told everyone to evacuate!  Once we got all the kids gathered and out the door, then we saw a worker guy who told us everything was safe and not to evacuate. Someone had burned something while cooking and it set off the alarm. Kinda scary, but glad it wasn't more serious!



We watched the BYU vs. Utah game.  Savannah sat and watched with Grandpa.  They were both enthralled   It was so cute!

One Month Old

Can't believe my little Savannah is a month old already!  She's such a sweet baby and I love her to pieces!

I love her crazy hair. I love the little grunts and noises she makes. I love her dark eyes. I love her sweet disposition. I love how she ALMOST sleeps through the night. I love how she rarely cries. I love how she doesn't freak out when her brother mauls her. I love her sweet little fingers and toes. I just love her and want to squeeze her and eat her and love her and snug her!
