NO CAVITIES!!!

Dylan had his 6 month dental check up and cleaning today.  Yay-no cavities!!!  Good brushing Dyl!  He's so excited about his new toothbrush (plus he gets his OWN floss and toothpaste...you would think it was Christmas!)  They were even able to get 2 x-rays!  He is such a gagger...this is the first time we got pictures!  Hopefully next time we can get some pictures of his molars! 

Fire Station Field Trip

Dylan is SO excited to be in preschool this year!  He thinks he is so cool now that he gets to go to school as well!  He always takes his McQueen backpack, although he rarely puts any of his papers in it...don't know why!  He likes to hold them instead!  He's such a funny boy!!   Dyl loves his teachers at Wee Friends - thanks Ms. Julie, Ms. Angie, and Ms. Jen for making school so much fun! 

I was able to go with Dyl and his class to the Logan Fire Station.  Dyl loves firetrucks, especially because Grandpa Yates and his two favorite Uncles Dusty and Derek are firefighters in Brigham City.

 We learned all about fire safety and they even turned on the cool flashing lights for us!  The kids had so much fun.  Dyl and his friend Josh Shumway were being silly (I promise Dyl isn't crying!) and hardly ever left each others' sides! 

Thanks to the Logan firefighters for their presentation and for being so patient with the kids!

Katelin turned 7 on July 21st!

Katelin LOVES butterflies....so of course that's what cake pan she picked out for her cake!

Katelin is a very spoiled 7 year old!! She choose to go to Build a Bear for her birthday! She made a very cute and cuddly pink bear. Granny, Aunt Jen, and Sage (cousin) were able to come with us to celebrate her special day!

While we were at the Gateway in Salt Lake City, we decided to let the kids play in the water fountains. They had a blast!!

WARNING......2 YEAR OLD!

Alexis turned TWO on July 15th! We can't believe our baby girl has grown up so fast! She choose a carebear cake pan for her birthday! We enjoyed celebrating her birthday with lots of family!
To celebrate her birthday, we decided to take the kids to feed the ducks! She was in heaven! Even mom and dad had fun!!

Wow!! I got my birthday card and a dollar from Great Aunt Neen...how special am I!?? Is she excited or what!?!

She is very independent and loves life!

Lexi is full of giggles and loves singing. But when it comes to bedtime.....she makes her daddy sing to HER!

Catching up!

I've been so lousy at blogging! But, I hope to catch you up on all the fun stuff going on out our house!
We put our house up for sale in May...and are still trying to sell it! We love our ward, neighbors and friends we have made here, but we have out grown our home and need to upgrade! We don't have a house picked out yet, the market is so scary right now! We're mostly waiting to sell ours first. We really like Hyrum and Nibley...not sure where we'll end up though.

This is one of my favorite pictures! Dylan loves both of his grandpas to death...but has always had a special relationship with Grandpa Yates! He stayed by Grandpas side throughout our whole visit to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Love you Dad...thanks for being you!

Yesterday we had lots of fun in the hot hot sun!! We went to Tremonton to the Box Elder County Fair and Rodeo. Katelin, Dylan, and Lexi had so much fun walking around looking at the animals. I think Alexis favorite were the bunnies!! She kept holding her hand out and made a kind of petting gesture to each bunny. It was so cute! She loved them. She was a little weirded out when the roosters started cock-a-doodle'ing though!!! It was the funniest thing to watch her. :)
Katelin LOVED the pony's and bunnies. She walked up to the gate the ponys were in and they would come over to her and let her pet them. I tried to do the same thing...they just walked away....EVERY time I tried to pet them!! How rude! Katelin really liked the white bunnies with pink eyes, I thought they looked kind of weird, but that's me! She thought they were so soft and small, and cuddly!
Dylan on the other hand liked the cows! They were so big and huge! I think his favorite were the black steers! He also liked the ponys as well..they were a big hit! He was able to pet them as well...what is my problem!? He thought the roosters and fluffy birds (don't know what they were) were weird!
The rodeo on the other hand...wasn't such a success! Alexis threw up a little bit before it started...I thought maybe she got too much sun. After the rodeo started...she pucked on me! NO FUN!!! At least I took a pair of pants to change into in case it got cold! We ended up leaving early because she kept throwing up and didn't feel good. Poor girl! It was a very long ride home from Tremonton! I was SO mad because I forgot my camera! So.... sorry...no pics of the fun event! :(
