Hiking the Rockies

So, now that we have been here for a while, I'm finally posting somethin about what we do here. Danica had her best friend from Kindergarten come up for a visit. We hiked Alberta Falls and saw many many animals.

Dallin's favortie part had to be the trees. He loved to touch them, look at them and...

eat them.

He loves to be outside.

We love the beauty all around us. The river behind our house has finally lowered and I'm not so nervous to let the girls out to play now. There is so much to do here we are loving evey minute!!

Dallin playing around

Dallin love to play now!! He love to play with his sisters.


He love TAGS. He will do anything to get a tag. Here has has pulled his toy down on him so he can eat the tag.


Here's a close up.

He is now 7 1/2 months and wants to walk more than crawl. He pulls himself up whenever possible and then lets go to see if he can walk. But still no rolling or anything like that. He watches his sisters run around all day and just wants to be like them. He babbles and drools all the time. He is a joy to have around.

My kindergarten graduate

Well, I'm at my mom's house and thought I would try to catch up a bit. Danica graduated from Kindergarten the end of May.
She received many awards from her teacher. She received a 'good citizen award and some other things.

This is her teacher presenting her with her year book and end of the year things. Her teacher made each student a book that contains each students favorite thing they learned that year and then pictures of all the big activities.

The entire school participates in CHARACTER COUNTS. Danica has been very disappointed that she hasn't gotten any awards all year, but it turns out that she was being saved for the last because her teacher felt she was the best CITIZEN for the entire year. She was very excited to finally get an award.

Danica was a 'yellow frog' in her kindergarten and she is with both her teachers here.

After school one day we went to the park and I think Whitney took this picture because I don't remember taking it. I turned it black and white I just love it. I call it looking to the future. and it fits her because she hasn't stopped talking about 1st grade and keeps asking if it's going to start yet.
