"W" 1st Day of School x 2

August 23rd and August 31st. I had "W" enrolled at a co-op pre-school at the University of Utah. He went 1 day and I decided it wasn't where I wanted him to go. He was soooo mad at me. He wanted Miss Tammy, not anyone else. He gets attached after 1 Day?!!! We found another school a little bit closer to home and he loves it. So, his 2 first days of school.

Dragon Birthday

August 20th. "W" had a Dragon Birthday for his 4th birthday party. My boys picked their birthday themes in January and talked about them all year long. "W" loves animals, especially birds. His favorite animal is an Oryx and his favorite bird is a Blue-footed Booby. His very favorite color is Blue. He memorizes his books and "reads" them to his brother. He is very tidy and never has to be asked to put his shoes in the closet or clothes in the laundry. He loves nature and collects feathers, rocks, and leaves. He loves snow skiing, swimming, and soccer. He works very hard and has an incredible attention span. He loves to play, tease, and wrestle with his brother. He loves to be around people, family or friends, and was so happy about inviting them to his party. We LOVE you "W"!!!

Duck Races

August 12-14. This is the second time we've gone to Idaho Falls for the Duck Races (more lovely camera phone pics). It is such a fun thing for kids and a great little vacation spot. We visited Bear World (camera phone erased pics) and the boys loved every second of it. We also somewhat aknowledged our wedding anniversary (11 Years!!!)
