Fieldtrip to Dinosaur Park

 I sure wish Carter would pose for a picture or two!

 Digging for Dinosaur Bones

Serena First Day of Flowerbox Preschool

 Serena is the first one to go to an "official" preschool that we have to pay for and that mom is not one of the teachers.  It is a new experience to be dropping off a child so young for school.  Serena is so social that she isn't fazed a bit.

 Aleeya will have a few weeks before the baby is born when she is the only child home for a few hours on M/W/F. 

 Aleeya had to walk Serena in with her backpack on also.  Posing with Ashlie Christensen.

Sitting at her desk ready to go!

Dean E. Olsen Family Reunion

 Carter helping Uncle Kelly with the auction.  He assisted with the reading of the story of the Little Red Hen to promote this quilt made by Aunt Carolyn.

Aleeya does a make-over

 Aleeya got into my purse and took out my lipstick and then went to the basement and gave herself a make-over.  She also got some of it on the rug, thankfully not on the carpet since it will not come out. 

The only person happy about this is my Mary Kay representative, because she used all of  the lipstick.

Preschool Orientation

 Serena is going to go to an "official" preschool three days a week and then I will still do the neighborhood preschool with her and Aleeya.  We thought Serena could use the extra learning to help her get caught up on her speech.  The school had an orientation to meet the teacher and Serena was very outgoing and social.  There are several girls that she knows in the class: Abigale Tanner, Ashlie Christensen and Ava Tesuscher.  We are going to carpool with Abigale and Ashlie.

The preschool also has a dance school, so Serena is standing by the trophies.  We are not going to add the dance class currently, as sending her to preschool already seems like such a big step (for the mom, not for Serena).

Together in Harmony Music Performance

 Serena had a final performance for her Together in Harmon Music Camp.  They sang the songs that they performed in the parade and then new ones that they learned in July and August.  I included this picture because it shows how Serena is ALWAYS moving, even when she is sitting.

The whole group with their teacher.  I was really impressed at how well Serena learned the songs.  Her speech is very clear when she sings and when she performed she stayed very focused on the teacher and did a great job!

Carter playing soccer

 Carter is player #3, he shoots and he scores!

 All soccer players need cute fans!

 Go Carter! Go!

Carter is much better this year of getting in there and going for the ball.
