Labor Day and Justin Visit

 Charlie's apple hat for A day at preschool.

 Blow-up pools while we wait for fall to arrive.

 Whoa, Dan.

 Teaching Charlie to read. I write the word, then when he knows what it is, he draws it.

 Regular old Paul.

 Ready to watch the BYU/Utah game.

 Grace went to support her friend in a play she was in.

 It was a little one-on-one date with me.

 Charlotte was a Who.

 Grace made me a friendship bracelet.

 Me and Justin (and Grace and Alice).

 Grandpa Gabe and grandkids watching the ward bike parade on Labor Day morning.

 Paul's wardrobe options for the BYU/Utah game. Turns out he wore the wrong one...

Halloween oreo kid.

Charlie Starts Preschool

 The big water bug Charlie found and tried to keep as a pet. It didn't last very long without water...

 First day of preschool photo shoot. He really wanted his new balloon in the picture.

 I got the boys knight helmets and shields at the dollar store to go with their swords from the dentist. They are always playing with them!

 Selfie for Paul.

 Date with Danny to the park.

 Grocery shopping with my little truck drivers.

 New pajamas!

 Special lunch out to celebrate Charlie starting preschool. He kept thanking us over and over! He loves macaroni and jello!

Pudding we made in our new brain mold. The possibilities are endless!

School starts

 Grace at Back to School night. Their theme this year is rock'n'roll, so they had this cool balloon sculpture!

 I also got talked into buying a school shirt.

 Danny and I took Alice to her first day of school.

 What a cute first grader!

 The bird houses the kids painted for our FHE activity. They loved it! (Alice's, Charlie's, Grace's, and Danny's)

 Me on the carousel at the zoo. I love ostriches!

 Alice on the dolphin.

 Charlie at the dentist.

 First day of fifth grade.

 First day of first grade, wearing the outfit Grace wore for her first day of fourth grade:)

 Happy sisters! Can you believe they're FOUR grades apart?

 Backpack buddies.

 Weirdies.

 Paul and Charlie took Grace to her first day. It was a rockin' party.

 Grace's classroom. They get to use a different kind of chair each day, and sit at a different desk.

 Sick of being photographed. "You can go now, Dad!"

 Painting birdhouses for FHE.

 Danny was so meticulous. He stayed up after all the other kids were in bed to finish!

Danny doesn't like wearing his eye patch recently, so sometimes we get creative. Arrrg, matey!
