This year some of the moms in our neighborhood have decided to have a little preschool for our young ones. We will take turns teaching and assisting. It is kinda crazy because the days I am doing neither, I am kid free for 2 hours. We started out with a little field trip to an apple farm. The kids enjoyed picking apples. Addie loves her little preschool. I think the thing she likes most is wearing her backpack.
Kyler started preschool today. Being a fall baby, he missed the deadline for kindergarten. So preschool is where it's at! He was so excited this morning. He was dressed with his backpack on about an hour early. He had a blast and is excited to go back on Wednesday. He also had a swim lesson today. He was a little nervous after having 2 weeks off. Once he got going, he was doing awesome! He jumped off the diving board 4 times and got on his back. Then he swam to the end of the pool to get out and do it again! By next summer he will be one confident swimmer!
Here are some pictures of Kyler's second soccer game. He has become quite the soccer player! At his first game he scored 7 goals. Which this week we realized set his expectations a little too high. This team definitely had better players than last week. Kyler still did really well and scored 1 goal. He was a little disappointed before he scored. He had several almost goals. We had to explain to him that it is not about how many he scores, it's about how many his team gets. In one of the pictures you can see Kyler and Rosie both going after the ball. Rosie has gotten a lot better too. She scored 2 goals today! Soccer season looks like it is going to be a lot more interesting this year!
We decided with all the things Kyler has going on (soccer, preschool, and swim lessons) it was time for Addie to have something for her. Through our friend Betsy, we found the cutest dance instructor. She is so sweet with little ones. Our first lesson was this morning and here is Addie ready to go. She is wearing the tutu that I made her the other day. It's a little wild but cute. Addie did really well at her lesson. She listened really well. She was just a little shy at times. Addie's friend Kate is in class with her and I think that did help her some. It is so fun to have something for her!
We have been super busy the last few weeks. Trying to get in as much time outside before it gets cold. We bought the kids one of those little pools and we have gotten a ton of use out of it. We have been taking lots of walks to the park. We took the kids camping and we had a blast. Dan posted a ton of pictures of our campout on his blog. Last Sunday, the power went out so we decided to go on a drive. We went up to the Bountiful temple to walk around the grounds and take some pictures. I got this awesome shot of Dan and the kids. We will have lots of updates soon since soccer has started and dance and preschool are starting. Enjoy the rest of summer!
