School Starts!

My little Caleb Bo Baleb is a 1st grader!  I can't believe it.  I am so nervous for him.  School lunch can be so intimidating....going to school ALL DAY can seem so long sometimes.  I was explaining to him that he would eat lunch there and he started to cry.  He said, "But mom!  I am going to miss you so much!"  Seriously - does it get any sweeter than that?  Makes me feel like I am doing something right.

CALEB'S FIRST GRADE FAVORITES

TV Show: Teen Titans GO!

Movie:  Transformers

Song: Am I Wrong - Nico and Vinz 

Color: All of the boy colors

Food: Cheese sandwiches
Drink: 7-11 Sluprees

Activity: Swimming at the North Ogden Pool

Future Occupation:  Cop
Weight:  37.5 pounds...
that is 2-3 more pounds than his 3 year old sisters!

 

Caleb will be starting at a new shool this year.  Promontory School of Expeditionary Learning.  It is in Perry.  There isn't a bus that takes him, so Casey or I will have to take him & pick him up every day.  Hopefully I can find a car pool!  I am hoping that we are making the right decision by switching Caleb to this school.  They have to wear a uniform....there are only 25 kids per class....they believe in a hands on learning experience....each family must volunteer 30 hours per school year. 

Marvelous May

The branding festival took place.  Tamara watched Luke & Lexi so that I could take my older kids out.  It's a right of passage!  We found some ugly baby birds (one pooped on me), Ashley broke out in massive hives, and I had to teach the girls how to squat.  Good times!

These little cuties turned 7 months!!

Who needs toys when you've got your toes?

These crazies still have a hard time going downstairs to play.  At least they made it al the way down this time.

We broke out the pool!!  Summer had officially started.

This little sweetheart and her sleeping poses.  It makes my heart so happy.

Luke loves the jumper!!! 

Bear lake Birthdays

All Casey wanted to do was go to Bear Lake for his birthday.  Birthday's are about wishes being granted, right?  So it happened.  I had to work that morning so we weren't able to leave until about noon- but I bet we missed a lot of boat crazy enthusiasts through the canyon so it's all good.

Taylor LOVED this place!!

We invited Casey's parents and brothers to meet us.  Brad & Mona and Colby's family was able to come.  Hopefully Shelby's family can make the trek next time!

This boy gets braver and braver and I love watching his adventurous side come out.  Not to crazy - and this mom is all right with that!

Rylee preferred to play on the sand rather than in the water.

Babies & the beach are hard.  Sand was in pretty much EVERY crevice of Luke and Lexi's little bodies.  Luke is adorable when he falls asleep.  Melts my heart.

My babies LOVE Grandpa Brad's beard.  They can't get enough of it!

At the end of the day Rylee, Taylor & McKenna loved chasing the seagulls and feeding them Doritos.

Happy Birthday to Casey & Logan.  I hope they had a fun day!

Freeze Family Pictures

For Christmas 2013 all of the Freeze boys chipped in for a gift certificate for Brad and Mona for family pictures.  Mona grew up in Mantua and had been wanting to have pictures in the poppies. In June this year - it happened!!

Crystal Inn

I did the unthinkable.  I got a job.  I started working 3-4 mornings a week at the Crystal Inn.  I set up and clean up the continental breakfast.  It works out because the kids are still asleep for half of my shift and Casey just has to take care of breakfast.  I've only been working for a month, but I really think that I like it.  It's nice to get out....some people are generous tippers....I feel like I have more energy....and I can start saving for my little ones futures.  One of the perks - we can go swimming WHENEVER we want to!!!

 

Rylee - she isn't very fond of immersing in water.  She likes to stick her feet in, but any farther than that she has a mini meltdown.

Lexi - she loved it.  She kept relaxing her head back & kicking her feet like crazy.

Caleb & Taylor - they both like the water.  The loved the hot tub more than the actual pool this day.  Hopefully we can teach our kids to swim now that we have free pool access!!  See Caleb's rock and roll hands?  Love it!

Casey took a selfie.  It cracks me up & disturbs me greatly at the same time.

Luke - he LOVED splashing (see his hand?).  He didn't quit.  he would splash so hard that he would gasp for air because he was drenching himself in the process.  It was adorable.
