Preschool

Today was Maddie's first day of Preschool! She loved it!!! She really feels like a big girl and is excited to walk into the school all by herself! They just grow up so fast!

2 Months

I cant believe Autumn is two moths old already! Time sure is flying by! She smiles intentionally now, and just started reaching and grabbing for things dangling above her! We love this little girl and can't imagine our lives without her!

School and Hair

Sierra started Kindergarten today!! She has been so excited to go to school! She is very excited to go to school 5 days, then have two days off.. same days as her dad!!! (Wonder how long the excitement will last.)

Sierra also got a new hair cut! She LOVES it! She was bouncing off the walls after her hair cut was done. I love the new look! Just so you know, Sierra thinks she is a model. She purposely posed for this photo. Hand in her pocket and all. She especially loves to bend her leg. She has been posing with her leg bent for a while now. Maybe she pays too much attention to the ads in the magazines. It's cute though.

Before pic with long hair.

Our Dad Is Cooler Than Yours!

Last weekend, Jake helped the girls make their own see saw! He just used whatever was lying around. It turned out so good! The girls love it!!!

One Month

Camping

Jake and Sierra went camping this last weekend. They both had tons of fun! Sierra told Jake it was the best day ever!!!

Apparently Sierra spent a lot of the time picking all of the beautiful flowers!

Here is a waterfall that they hiked up to.

They found some willow branches and made roasting sticks out of them.

Mmm. Hotdogs!

Looks like she is loving her oatmeal!

They hiked up to this rock called History Rock. There are hundreds of names carved in the rock. Some dating back to the 1800's!

Jake showed Sierra how you can use Old Mans Beard to start a fire. She thought it was so cool that she brought some back to show us. I'm glad they had so much fun! Jake is already planning their next camping trip.

Happy Birthday Jake!

Jake turned 31 yesterday! We had a nice little celebration last weekend with our neighbors. It was a pretty quiet Birthday for him this year... and only 2 pictures. One of him with his cake, and the other is a picture of his cake. He did say he had a nice weekend though (he did take Sierra fishing for a bit), so I guess that is all that matters.. right? I hope you had a good Birthday Jake!

A Few More Pics

Jake built this birdhouse during the early stages of my labor (He did finish this project before my labor became more intense. He didn't neglect me, don't worry.). I guess you know you have a true passion for building when your're off building a bird house while your wife is in labor. Makes for a fun story and a memorable (and super cute!) birdhouse! :)
