Sydney's First Day of Preschool

This day couldn't have come soon enough. Sydney has been waiting to go to preschool since she knew what school was.She loved it. She said it was a little long, but she had fun.

Cute girl!!!!
She's doing one of those red carpet poses, the one that's supposed to make you look skinny. I should try it.

Birthday Weekend

For Mason and my dad's birthday (9-9-09) we were able to spend the weekend on our favorite houseboat again. We love to go play and eat and relax at the lake.

Mason opening a few presents on the top deck.
My cute niece Atti. Poor babies had to wear life jackets all the time. They did good, though.
Brynnlee and Sydney sitting in a tube. The were being pulled by a sea doo and the tube tipped over and they were both bobbing out in the middle of the lake, scared to death. They survived, but wouldn't go back out.
A bunch of cousins swimming off the back of the houseboat. We joked that they looked like little carp.

9-9-09

Today is Mason's birthday. It's also my Dad's birthday. He's 59 on 9-9-09. Too bad Mason isn't turning 9. That would be crazy.

Mason is turning 8. I can't believe it. He is so little, its hard to believe he is old enough to be baptized and be in Cub Scouts. His baptism in on Sept. 19th at 2:00pm. All are welcome to come.

Unfortunately, Mason broke his arm on Sunday night. We weren't sure it was even broken because he could still move it pretty good. Of course, Monday was a holiday, so the Dr. was closed. On Tuesday, it was more swollen so I took him in, and sure enough, both bones were broken in his right forearm.

Now, Dallin and Cody have already broken arms. But they broke their left arms. So, poor Mason, is going to have to learn to do things with his left. I hope he's getting along OK at school today.

Mason is also having a birthday party at the lake this weekend. We made sure he got a waterproof cast. So, between the lake, baptism and showering, the waterproof cast will come in handy.
