We had Isaac's play school at our house last week, here are the girls in his group. They are a cute bunch of kids and we have lots of fun with them at our house. 

Isaacs funny quote of the week was (while putting on his sandals) 
"These shoes keep getting smaller and smaller."
Also he gives the best/strongest hugs.  He hugs with his entire body and mostly his head.  Lately when he hugs me he asks
"Mom, do my hugs hurt?" and " Can you breath when I hug you?"
I love getting so many strong hugs a day, but sometimes they do hurt!



All the kids love doing arts & crafts, it keeps their attention for a while.  Even Lizzie had fun last week eating glue and sucking on paper, crayons and markers!

We had a busy week/weekend full of lots of fun activities, here are some of the highlights. 

Taylor & Emily had "Art Night" at their school.  All the kids display lots of different art projects, as well as have crafts to do, dinner is served etc..  Here is the only pic I got of Taylor.

 



We have been spending lots of time outside playing with friends.  The kids favorite activites this week are jumping rope, playing on the swing set, jumping on the trampoline and riding bikes. 
The popular things to play change every week. 

We feel so blessed and fortunate to live in a wonderful, safe neighborhood full of good friends and neighbors!  The kids never want to go anywhere because they don't want to miss out on the fun games on the street!  It's hilarious; sometimes we have to get mad at Taylor and Emily because we want to go somewhere and they whine about leaving their friends.



Taylor had soccer on Saturday.  His team is really improving and they are a lot of fun to watch now!

Lizzie is standing a lot now and taking a few steps by herself.  She loves to stand in dangerous places like in the tub, on the bed, on a hill, or at the shallow end of the pool. She is getting teeth and has been really grumpy this week.
She is so busy lately and always getting into stuff.

Here are a few of her naughty moments from last week. Elizabeth played in the toilet, unrolled all the toilet paper,  emptied the dish soap in her lap and on the kitchen rug, dove into the tub while Isaac was in the bath (fully clothed).  Then another day she was sitting in the bathroom waiting for her bath water to get warm and she went pee twice and then started splashing in it!   I follow her around all day keeping her safe.

Emily's quote of the week is
"Lizzie looks cute, but when you live with her she's not!"
This perfectly describes Lizzie right now, she is adorable, but so busy!  She gets into everything and is always on the move.

On Saturday Danny took Tay & Em shooting up at the shooting range.  They had a fun time shooting little guns.  It was Emily's first time, and she had a great time!

Saturday afternoon/evening we went to watch Natalie race in a track meet at Davis High.  It was so much fun to see her race.  She won the 1 and 2 mile races and then competed in a 4x8 relay at the end of the meet.  She is a phenomenal runner and is still making improvements every time she runs. 
She set a Personal Record in her 1 mile race at 4:54!!!

Here she is getting her medal for one of her races. 
At the end of the entire meet she was awarded the "Best Athlete of the Meet" and got a trophy.  She really had a fantastic meet, and ran great! 

It was a fun way to spend a Saturday evening. 
Way to go Natalie, you are an amazing runner and athlete!!!

We are so proud of her and excited for her future in running.
