Aubree's Birthday Party

Every month my mom lets whomever birthday is in that month pick the Sunday meal. The boys really enjoyed the dessert that Grandma made. They sure love their aunt Aubree.

Marysvale Sept. 7-9

 Marysvale is a little town that leads up to the piute trial. People are riding four-wheelers all over town. Bryce and I ended up taking a half day on Friday to head down there. We went two weekends ago and had a blast so we decided to take the kids down. Conner cried a lot this trip not sure why. He was really good while we were riding but back at the campground he wouldn't listen. While we were down there we stayed in a campsite which was nice because it has power and water. The hard part is that we had neighbors and we were worried about the boys being to loud. The people next to us said they enjoyed watching the boys play/fight.

 We went on three 3 hour rides and a short one when we got there.

 The boys would pretend to be driving them at the campsite. The leaves were starting to change colors which were very pretty. Of course I didn't take any pictures. We were also driving on a trail and a baby deer ran out in front of Bryce.

 This is a miners camp. It has a trail to walk around to look at all the old stuff they used.

 Jared and Conner did really well hiking up the hill. Bryce ended up carrying Conner because he wouldn't stay on the path.

 This is an old cabin.

It was nice to have power so we could watch movies at night. We can watch them with the generator but it was nice not to have to.

We ate at a little place in town. Conner was horrible so I sat outside with him. Bryce and Jared came out when our food was ready. He really needed a nap and took one on the four-wheeler.

Bryce wanted to try a little trail but I told him I was too scared to try it. But we are going back up there in October and we are going to try it. I need to get over my fear of rolling. 

Trip 7, 19 days Bryce, Tasha, Jared and Conner

Onion Days Parade

 I wanted to take the kids to the Payson days parade. I went with my mom. She dropped Jared and me off to find a spot, then she met Amber and Brylee at their house then walked up to our spot. Justin walked up later.

 Conner didn't like all the police bikes. He started crying when they came by. It was so sad. He kept saying "scary".

This video shows the boys picking up candy. They got tons of it.

 Every time there was music Conner would dance then that would get Jared dancing too.

 It was really nice that Captain American stopped to let us take a picture. 

 These were lawn mowers that were made up to look like the cars on "Cars".

 After the parade we walked back to Justin's house. While we were walking I kept having ants crawl all over me. I looked in the bag of candy and my mom put cookies that were opened in there and the ants were all over them. It was nasty.

My mom was sweet enough to watch the boys while Bryce and I did the dutch oven cook off. Bryce made his roast and I made a carrot cake. We had a lot of fun but it was a long day. We took 1st place. My dad and Justin took 4th!!!

Story

I was talking to my mom and she told me a story that Jared's teacher told her today at church. I guess Mrs. Tischner was reading a book and at the end she asked everyone "Don't you just love this book?" all the kids said "Yes" except Jared he says "not really" she asked him if he was teasing her. He started laughing and said yes. I think he will be the class clown which isn't always a good thing because I don't want his teachers needing to talk to me!!!

Jared's First Week Kindergarten

Thursday they needed to take something that started with A he took aluminium foil. He was the only one to take it. I asked what other people brought he told me 2 kids brought aprons and 1 airplane. Friday was letter B he took a little bike. Again he was the only one to bring that. He wanted to take a ball or his blanket. I told him that tons of other kids would bring those. While I was taking him to Lori's he kept telling me that I lied about the others bringing balls and blankets because no one brought a blanket and only 1 person brought a ball.

I am so glad that Jared gets to go to school with me. My class goes to computers and library with Jared's class which I love. I want my kids to interact with all kids!!! He plays tag with my students in the morning before he has to go to class and when we go out to recess at the same time as him. I love it!!! I am hoping that when all the other students see Jared playing with my students then they will realize they can too.

I signed up to help with the yearbook in his class. I was the only one. I hope I didn't take on too much!!! I really want to help as much as I can and I know I can't help with pull out time so this is how I can help. I talked to Mrs. T. and she was worried about all the space the binders would take up. I told her I would put them in my spare cupboard at school. She was excited I thought of that because she knows we are trying to sell our house.

All in all I think Jared likes school. He favorite part is recess. I am sure that is most kids favorite part of school.
