Alison

Can't believe she turned 8! She looked beautiful all in white. Her Grandma Carpenter made a beautiful white dress to wear to her baptism. I even got choked up when Josh came down the hall dressed in white at the chapel. Alison was so excited to make this covenant and has been prepared for awhile. Family came and we ate and did some swimming at the house after the program.

Nate's First Day of Preschool

Nate finally started preschool this week. He thought this day would never come since his sisters started school serveral weeks ago. He did really well and was excited to go. His first day was also my first day of driving since my fall. No more house arrest. It felt so good to be back in the drivers seat!

Cake, Cake and More Cake!!!!!!!

We have two birthdays in August. Ali's and Nate's birthdays are one day apart so we decided to celebrated them on the same day. In the morning we took Nate to Chuck E. Cheese and then in the evening we had a swim party for Ali. We even snuck in a birthday party for one of Abby's friends in the afternoon! Let's just say we are tired of eating cake. All in all it was a great day. Ali is now 8 and excited for her baptism this coming week. Nate turned 3 and starts preschool this week. Can't believe how fast they grow!
