Birthday Boy

Our little man turned 2 today and I don't know who was more excited, Maya or Rett?  He is all boy and there seemed to be a vehicle theme going on with the presents, exactly what he would want!  He was able to have cake and ice cream with cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandma and grandpa Jensen last night.  Today grandma and grandpa stopped by spoiling him with gifts.  He sure is loved!

 

Dinosaur Park

We went to the Dinosaur Park in Ogden today with neighbor friends.  Rett is usually the only boy when we all play together but lucky for him it's UEA and Caden didn't have school.

Pumpkin Patch

Maya's preschool had a field trip to the pumpkin patch this morning.  Rett and I tagged along for a good time.  We played in a maze, had story time, learned about all kinds of pumpkins, and headed out to the patch.  Here are a few pictures of the fun.

They found their prefect pumpkins (apparently we like them on the smaller side):

Birthday Girl

Maya turned 4 years old on July 17th and what a fun day she had! She woke up to a big princess castle and a new princess and prince from mom and dad.  Then, discovered a new bike from Grandma and Grandpa Walker.  Later that day Grandma and Grandpa Jensen stopped by with more gifts and money!  We swam at Cherry Hill with cousins after naps and ended our evening with dinner at "Red Robins."  We love you big girl!!

Soccer

Go Team Cinderella!

Maya started playing soccer for the first time at the end of August.  She has had three games so far and improves each week.  She is a hustler, she keeps up with the group but isn't too aggressive about getting the ball herself.  It frustrates her dad to watch, she is often handed the ball and she just looks at it right in front her feet and waits for someone else to come along and kick it.  After the first game when asked if soccer was fun she answered, "I liked the practice.  The game is too much running."  But believe it or not since then she has looked forward to every game and gets excited for Saturdays (even though all she does is run a ton and kick the ball very little).

 

Here are some pictures of the practice right before her first game:



Maya's First Day of Preschool

This little lady had her first day of preschool today and couldn't be more ready.  A friend in our neighborhood has been teaching for over 15 years and has a preschool set up in her basement.

 She jumped out of the car and wouldn't wait for me, she said she didn't want to be late.

 

 After school, showing off their apple seeds that they finger painted.  She said the apple project was her favorite part today, plus the cookies of course!

Rett had a hard time being home alone with me.  After just 3o minutes he was asking for "My-My."  It 's going to be a rough adjustment for the little guy (me too).
