My Little Maid

Gracie has found a fascination with rinsing the dishes, she gets the ladder out and turns in the water and away she goes. The problem is she never wants to be done with the water, I love that she has the sparkle shoes on that she insisted on having when we were school shoe shopping with the kids, her Daddy thought she really needed them! Gracie is growing up so fast she is such a joy in our house, thanks for the help Gracie.

Gracie and Maylee

Gracie was'nt sure what to do when Braden and Maylee were both gone on the first day of school, it was really quiet that is for sure. I had to buy these matching dresses, I thought they were so cute!

Maylee's going to Kindergarten

Walking outwith Mrs.Mendenhall and her class

Aunt Jocelyn Painted her fingers and toes for her first day!

Visiting Robbie

One of our good friends has a sweet little girl that is two years old in Primary Childrens Hospital in Salt Lake. So a bunch of us (8) to be exact, (precious cargo) loaded up to go visit her, did I mention between the 8 of us we have 22 kids!!! We left around 4 and got back around 2am. It was a great night, we picked her up at the hospital and went to Cafe Rio. We talked and cried adn talked and cried then they closed so we went and sat in the parking lot for awhile, Robbie is the kind of person that no matter the situation she is so positive and upbeat. She is the kind of friend anyone would want to have. Her little Lolly is struggling with all sorts of ups and downs at this point. We are all praying for her and her family, thanks for an amzing night, I will never forget it!

Braden's first day of 2nd Grade

Braden was somewhat excited to go to 2nds grade, he got right up and ate breakfast got dressed and was ready to go. I thought I hope he is always this excited to go to school! His teachers are Mrs. Clayton and Mrs. Hepworth.

new computer

got a computer and camera have no pics on it and almost forgot my blog address now this is what i call crazy!!! i must update this darn thing

Gracie on the loose

Gracie has had no problem entertaining her self today that's for sure, she also has no problem making a mess, and look what we did now that school started we POTTY TRAINED!

Summer Sleeping Arrangement

This has been Maylee and Braden's sleeping arrangement for the last little while, why they don't go sleep in either of there full size beds downstairs where they would have lots of room to move I don't know. I had to take a few pictures because it is kind of cute, they have so much fun together and have had a great summer. I hope they can always be buddies and take care of each other especially when Maylee goes to school this year.

Swim Lessons

We do swim lesson's every year at the club, this year was a little different I usually had a baby to watch during lessons but this year all 3 kids had lessons the same time. It was fun to watch each of them swim, Braden improved ton's this year he had his own teacher so he thought that was way cool. Maylee was excited to see that Ellie was in her swim class she like jumping in the best! Gracie wasn't sure about it when I handed her to the teacher and didn't get in but she eventually figured that it was still okay even if Mom wasn't in the pool with her! She liked playing motor boat the best.

Maylee Anna

Maylee is quite the poser when she wants to be, I love this little shirt she looks so grown up in it though. She is such a aweet little girl and is also quite a tease but very innocent while doing so.

Mountain Dew FOR 2

I saw these shirsts in Utah and had to get them for 2, Mountain Dew is a part of Jeff's life and has been since I think he was born cause if your last name is Darrington there is a chance you do the Dew~! Jeff drinks Diet I think it is nasty but it does cut out hte sugar so that's good. Braden was excited to get a shirt like his Dad's!

Nothing like a $dollar$ store baby

My girls always seem to want a dolly form the dollar store they each have several colors and come home and play with them forever, like they have no other toys in the world. Gracie likes dolls more them Maylee she was loving her new dolly and her princess pillowcase we sewed her. She is growing up so fast, she makes us laugh every second by the things she does and says.

we survived

so i have to post this glorious day because we survived, the trek, family Reunion, cousins wedding, girls camp, jeffs brothers wedding, swim lessons, and my dad in the hospital for 17 days, these were all really fun things except my dad being in the hospital but it seems like a big relief today as finally i can say it is going to be a regular week at our house, gotta love summer (or it will be gone at the wink of an eye!) hope your summer is going great like ours.

thanks everyone for all your help and love, so i could accomplish all these things
