Alexis 1st day of preschool

September 9, 2009 Alexis had her 1st day of preschool. Since Alexis is only 3 this year I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay for preschool especially since she was also starting dance. But Sheay and two of her friends were going to do a joy school since their preschool teacher quit so I though tit would be fun to do that with them.

Alexis was so so excited to go to school. She was a little disappointed when we pulled up to aunt Sheay's house for school, but she had a good time and always looks forward to going to school still.

Jordyn also really wanted to go to school, but she is a bit young for that, she didn't think so. So she went down stairs and found the Dora backpack and walked around the house with it on for at least 2 hours. She would not let me take it off.

Last swim of the season and Taylor's fist time swimming

We went swimming with Grandma when we got home from the ranch one last time before the pool closed for the winter.
This was also Taylor's first time in the pool. She did really well and enjoyed the time she spent in the pool. I hope she will be a little fish like her sisters. They love the pool and have no fear. You really have to keep an eye on them.

Labor day weekend

We went to Koosheram with the Hughes family and had a great time.

Alexis learned to ride the four wheeler all by herself this weekend.

This was Taylor's bed for the weekend.

Here are a few pictures of my baby girl.

First ponys

Yesterday a decided to see if I could do Taylor's hair in ponytails since she has so much. And it was a success. I think it looks so cute except her bangs are too short to reach the ponys. I love the little curl she has in her hair too.

Swimming with Grandma

One of the kids favorite summer activities is to go swimming with Grandma Hughes. Here is Alexis and Jordyn floating around with Grandma.

The kids truly love the water. and really have no fear. Which means you really need to keep an eye on Jordyn especially. She thinks she can swim and will just jump in even if no one is there to catch her. It is fun to see how much fun they have in the water. Here are a few of their jump in the water.

Jordyn had a few cherries after swimming. Naturally she is a mess and wearing the cherries as well. I don't think she would ever be able to sneak any kind of food. She always ends up wearing a little bit of everything she eat. I just love that cute little red face.

24th of July

We had a 24th of July BBQ at our house with Rusty's family. It was a lot of fun. the kids always have a great time playing with their cousins and we like to be able to spend time with family. It is so fun that Rusty's family is so close and that we all get along together and do so much together.

After dinner we went out front and did the enormous box of fireworks that Grandma Hughes bought. They were very impressive. Thanks grandma.

The Neilson FamilyThe twins aren't the biggest fans of the fireworks. They like them from a distance.
(A very far distance.)
