So I'm a little late on posting things this week. Xander had his first day of his 2nd year of preschool on Monday. (He misses the deadline for Kindergarten by 6 weeks) He is going to a gal named Koni Youd that lives in my stake. She is awesome!!! He goes Mon, Tues, & Thurs. afternoon's and is already learning so much. He has started singing 2 different songs for me already. Koni is really great at drilling each letter and it's sound, and she makes them write alot too!! Xander usually writes his name in capitol letters and the first day of school he came home with a cute little clock and his name was written with lower case letters!! Already this is shaping up to be an awesome year of school!!
Mara had to get in on the picture fun.
Monday nights is when Pat mows the lawn, and that is always the guaranteed time for us to be out on the swing set. I was able to get a really cute picture of me and Xander (after about 6 tries) Notice the goggles: Karri bought him a pair, which is funny since the swimming season is almost over.
Xander and Mara were taking turns "catching" each other on the slide.
Then they finally decided to go down the slide together!!
Oh summer is just so fun (too bad I don't like being outside too much). I am just proud of Mara this summer. In May, she wanted to get in the swing, but not be pushed. And she wouldn't set foot near the slide. Now she wants to be pushed "Higher" and loves the slide!! She is just growing up so much.

Totally Sweet! I am glad that you found a great pre school! It makes all the difference!
Those are cute pictures.......all of them. I can't beleive that Mara is now sliding and swinging. She wasn't even doing that a month ago. She looks so grown up in that picture with Xander by the door. They are such good little buddies outside. I also like the pictures in your sidebar of them. I love them.
Also, Xander is a smartie. By the time he gets to Kindergarten everything he learns will be old news. That is good. He will never feel like he is the only one who can't do things and that is a major plus! :)
such cute pictures and i love your newest layout and header. It's amazing how fast time flies. Rachel just started Kindergarten and as you know she missed the deadline by about 6 weeks too and she is so ready for it. She picks things up so easily and can really just enjoy the ride. It's great.
Mara is looking so big, especially in that pic standing next to Xander.
