Halloween 2010

I know this is ridiculously late, but I still want to post about it so I don't forget! This was the first Halloween Kate was super excited for. Last year we were in San Diego, and the year before was fun but she was just too little to understand what was going on. This year Kate told me everyday for a month that she was going to be a princess, and everyday it was a different one. HEB (similar to Albertson's for you non Texans) had cheap princess costumes so by the time Halloween actually rolled around we had Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Tinkerbell, and Snow White costumes. Snow White must have won out because that is what Kate wore to Jason's work party, the neighborhood fall festival and the ward trunk or treat.

Childrens Museum

We had a free morning last week and since it is still too hot to be outside for more than 5 minutes, we went to the childrens museum. They have so many fun things to do, but I think this time Kate's favorite was the diner where you can pretend to take orders, make the food, and serve it. Kate and I took turns taking each others orders and preparing the food for each other. It is really fun to see her starting to use her imagination more and more.

Preschool

Kate had her first day of preschool last week. Six of us in the ward decided to do a home preschool and take turns teaching. We do it once a week for a couple of hours. Kate was so excited to start school and loved filling up her backpack with crayons, glue, and scissors. And she must have had a blast the first day because when I picked her up she said "Can I do preschool again?". She looks nervous in the second picture but honestly she was very excited.

Wheeler Farm

We went to Wheeler Farm with grandpa Richardson while we were in Utah. It was a gorgeous day! Wheeler Farm was fun despite the geese that refused to let me off the porch of the farm house! Jason had to rescue me and got a bite for his troubles.

Bubbles with Grandma

Kate LOVES bubbles and had a lot of fun with an awesome big bubble wand that grandma Bev bought. Gotta love those nice Utah evenings! I sure miss them!

Tracy Aviary

We were busy in Utah! We also made it to Tracy Aviary with grandma Richardson. We got to see lots of cute baby ducks and a beautiful peacock roaming around. Thanks for the fun day grandma!

Amanda's Wedding

We went to Utah in June to attend Jason's little sister's wedding. Amanda looked beautiful and it was really neat to be able to see them be sealed in the temple. Congrats Amanda and Ted!
