Learning at Home....

Kamden loves to do any activity where she is learning, that is at home. She will do workbook page after page. She wants to make crafts all day long, but her preschool is a different story. She is in Preschool this year and really enjoys going. That is after I stay for 5, 10, 15 mins when I drop her off. Then when I go pick her up her teacher always has a story about Kamden and her day. The teacher says she does fine until they do a craft she doesn't want to do or until they tell her to wash her hands. (she really has something with washing her hands, I know it is kind of strange but we are working on that at home.) The teacher has said that Kamden has just started having emotional break downs at school. She will just cry and cry for me. Maybe that is supposed to make me feel good but not really in this case. :) This has just started for kamden, the first month was fine. I think her schedule got thrown off when we had all of the company come, so hopefully this will pass very quickly. Kamden is so like I was when I was a little girl, that is a big reason why we have her in preschool this year so that when it is time to go to kindergarten I will not have to sit with her in class. :)

Here is a picture of her with her workbook. We just finished doing 10 pages!! I sure hope her desire for learning stays with her through high school but I think that would be too good to be true!!

So if any of you have any great suggestions on how to make her preshool time go more smoothly for her, myself and the teacher let me know. I have come up with a couple ideas that we are going to try this week so hopefully they will go well. She is such a bright, well behaved child, we just have to get her to be okay when I am not with her in new situations. Mom and Dad now I know what I put you guys through. :)

Itchy...

Here is a picture of Aspen as she is telling me "Mommy itchy bum"

Then she saw I had a camera and she sat down real quick to say "CHEESE"

Aspen is such a character!!

We Need Rain!!

Here in McCall we have had a very dry summer. I have been hearing we were in a drought but I didn't realize how much we need rain or snow until we drove up to this reservoir with my family. I was shocked, I have never seen it look so empty. It really looks like they emptied it out on purpose. We were walking right through where the water ususally is. I took some pictures, it was kind of crazy. This week should be a good one for moisture it is supposed to rain or snow everyday this week, which I am not excited about but since the mountains supply a lot of towns with their water I am thinking it is pretty important.




This rock is usually not visible at all. Pretty crazy that all the water is gone.

More Pictures

Here is Kamden sleeping in my closet. All the other rooms were being used for company and she grinds her teeth at night so I made it sound really cool to sleep in my closet. The poor little girl was such a good sport.
Aspen loved to sit in Emmas car seat.
Sorry mom, I know you won't like this picture. But you can look at Brinns site because she put the bad one of me up. I had to pick the better one of myself. :)

Here is Emma my niece, she is 5 months and so cute.

We walked to the River one night in our neighborhood. The girls love to climb the rocks.
Brock and I at the river in our subdivision. My favorite place to take our family walks.

Making Memories with Family

Nothing is better than having family come and visit. This past month we have had a lot of family come and it has been so fun. I was kind of sad today after I dropped off my parents at the airport because I realized it is now over. No more family here for awhile, now I have to face real life again. This week my parents came and Brinn, Kent and Emma. It was so much fun. We started off the week by my dad helping me get some things done in my house that haven't gotten done because my husband is so busy with work. My dad is so awesome. He likes to work when he takes vacations. I love it, he either is helping on our house or he goes to work with Brock. Thanks Dad for all of the things you helped me get accomplished.

Brinn and Kent came for the weekend. We crammed a lot of things in such as 2 hikes, hot springs, Breakfast, Brocks football game, an Idaho Steel Heads Ice Hockey game, some Indian leg restling and some stick pulling (the last 2 things only Brinn and I competeted in) Yes I beat her, I am still the strong sister. :)

I have to express to my mom a big thank you as well for always helping as much as she does. Before she left she made sure my whole house was cleaned so that I wouldn't have to do that after they left. That is the best feeling to have a clean house and not have to do it all yourself. Family is the best!!

I will post more pictures later of our week but right now my computer is being to slow

The Perfect Sandwich

While my sister was visiting she took a picture of the sandwich Brock made for his lunch. She thought it could easily be on a commercial. I think I have to agree, that is one good looking sandwich!!
