Dallin's Field trip

Dallin sitting right next to his teacher Mrs. Kattelman.

I got to go with Dallin's class on their field trip to the fire station. I wasn't going to go, but the night before, Dallin said, "Please can you come". So, I called up a friend and asked if she could watch Elise and Jayden, and I went with Dallin in the morning. I am so glad that I got to go. I don't think that Dallin will always want me around when he is older, but right now, he loves to have his Mom go with him wherever he goes. He even saved a spot for me in the very back of the bus. After that bus ride I was glad that Dallin doesn't ride the bus. It brought back memories for me of my bus riding days. Dallin and Hailey love to play together, Hailey's Mom says that when she goes to Dallin's class to volunteer that Dallin and Hailey always play together. It was hard to get a good picture of Dallin making a normal face, but we love him anyway. I learned a lot about firefighters and really had fun getting to know Dallin's teacher and the other Moms better. It was a great time.

My Little Jayden

I love to sit down and just watch my kids play. I like to have my camera out and maybe get some good pictures as they play. It was so fun to just watch Jayden play and try to ride his brother's scooter. Jayden is very determined. He never gives up. He is also very strong. I don't like to stop him from trying. I just like to watch him as he tries new things, even though he gets frustrated, he tries again and again. I know I should have put his pants back on him, but he likes to get away so fast after I change his diaper, and I just love to watch his little legs run. I miss these days of bare legs and diapers when they are gone, although I don't think I miss changing diapers.

Here is Jayden's snot nose. He has had a runny nose for 2 months. The doctor says it's just allergies, but it makes it hard to get clean pictures.

Jayden has the cheesiest smile when he knows that we are going to take a picture. I think that it is so funny.

I just love watching them play, and I love listening to the things that they say. I was talking to another Mom in Dallin's Kindergarten and she was saying, I don't know how you can handle 3 kids, she said, I can barely handle 1. I thought, I don't know how I could do it without 3 kids. Each one has their own personality that makes my life so much better. I am so thankful to have 3 little munchkins that contribute to our family and make our family whole.
