Chase Goes To Preschool!


And we both got through the day with no tears! I cannot believe how fast my little man is growing up. I remember thinking about preschool shortly after he was born. I am not sure why it was on my mind but at the time preschool seemed like forever from now. Well, forever from now was today and I was so proud of him as he made his grand entrance into the unknown and mastered the day. He's in a three year old class even though he won't turn three until October. It didn't phase him at all that he was younger than the rest of the kids. He marched right in, found his spot at the play doh center and enjoyed free time while I put his things away. The hardest part was leaving before class started. I'm a little controlling (duh!) and it was so hard to walk away and have no idea what he did for the next three hours. The teacher said he was great and Chase said he had a fun time and will definitely go back for more. Still, I wish he would have told me a little more about what he did at school but all I really got out of him was that he went on a bridge (recess I'm assuming), had his snack (carrots and string cheese), and played. Not really the detailed description I was hoping for, kid ;). 

Bathtime the night before







He looks so small!



 Daddy came to pick him up with me...


Out for a post class lunch!

Audrey @ 4 Months!

Wow. I am definitely behind in blogging...we have been busy bees around here! Here are Audrey's 4 month pics for now. I thought I would switch it up and use this blue chair for the rest of the year so you could see how she is growing in relation to the chair but I think I like my white background better. This one is distracting me! 

Anyways, this month Audrey LOVES her hands. Plays, eats, stares and generally enjoys them for the better part of the day. She is rolling consistently from front to back, talks A TON more than Chase (but still cries a lot more than he did!). Her reflux is getting way better and she even let Ah and Pa take care of her this past weekend without too much trouble. She is waking up a bit more at night than she had been, but I attribute that to her lack of interest in food during the day and then hunger at night. I'm working on switching things up for her, and she even has had her first solids experience! More on that to come :)...xoxo

Utah!

We had a great time in Utah to celebrate my mom's wedding, and even though we were not there for the actual ceremony, we were able to enjoy so many fun things while at the Snowbird ski resort. It was a great break from the heat and Chase had a BLAST!

Walking sticks are always helpful!

Love Park City!

Audrey was there too ;)


I also took Chase out for  "mini shoot" and will share those pics next!

10 on 10 | August

For those of you who follow my blog, you know I am an avid fan of The Bloom Forum. It is a wonderful place where I can learn, grow and share. This month I bring you a new project and a new opportunity for me to document my family. Plain, uncensored, and real. It is not only a way for me to join a fabulous group of girls for some photo fun, it is a way for me to connect with my family and remember the little things about life that make it so sweet. This project is pretty simple: 10 photos in one day | taken roughly every hour for 10 hours | posted on the 10th of the month. I hope you join me on this new photo journey and then head on over to Nancy Schumacher, Thompson ND photographer to see her images for the day. xoxo
