First Day of School

First day of school! First day of school! For the last few weeks we have been chanting that phrase (just like Nemo did in the movie)...and today it finally happened! Ry had her first day of Kindergarten! She was really excited until we got about half-way to the school...then she got really quiet and said she didn't want to go. It got a little bit worse when we actually got to the school. She had "water in her eyes" in the parking lot, and was crying openly when it was time to say good-bye to her mom. After fifty hugs and kisses good-bye, she got brave and walked into school. She had a pretty good day, and she said her eyes got a little bit of water in them half-way through the day, but she didn't cry anymore after I left. Now she is a pro, though, and can't wait for school tomorrow.

Being silly...shocking, huh?
Ry is really proud of her new backpack.

Looking at the Big Bones

We went to the dinosaur museum in Lehi yesterday...I had promised Ry we would go before school started and yesterday was the last day to get it done. We went with my two sisters and their kids...and though I wasn't too impressed with the place (guess I am not a big enough dinosaur lover!) the kids had fun.

Papa's Big Yellow Truck

We love our Papa! He brought all of our furniture/stuff from Oregon to Utah last week in the big yellow rental truck. Ry and Brody got to go for a short ride in the truck before taking it back to the rental place...it was the highlight of their day!

Bailey is 6 Months Old!

I can't believe Bailey is already six months old! She had her six-month check-up yesterday and is a healthy little girl. She is one of the happiest babies and is always giving us big smiles. She is a big fan of solid foods, and we are yet to find something she won't eat. She has become an expert at rolling to get where she wants to go, and is working on sitting up unassisted. We love Bayz and are glad she is in our family.

For those of you who are into stats, here are Bailey's at her six-month mark:
wieght: 16 lb, 15 oz (69th percentile)
length: 27 inches (88th percentile)
head circumference: 43 cm (62nd percentile)
