First Day of First Grade!

Emma looked so cute for her first day of first grade. She was very excited to start school this year. She was most excited that she was going to be able to eat lunch at school this year. She was also excited to be able to wear all of her new school clothes. It is so hard to believe that she is in school all day long. Mia and I miss having her at home with us during the day.

Thank goodness for super glue!

We decided to ride the new Front Runner train to Salt Lake so that we could go shopping at the Gateway plaza downtown. We decided to get some food in the food court there and just as we were finished and getting up from our table... Mia pushed out her chair and it fell backwards. She leaned forward and cut her chin on the front of the chair seat. She screamed (of course). I thought that she was just scared when Emma informed me that she was bleeding. In 30 seconds she managed to bleed all over her shirt, mine and Miland's. Do you think that the bathrooms would have paper towels? Nope. I didn't have a bandaid either. So... after searching the mall, a kind employee at Bath and Body Works had a first aid kit and grabbed us a bandaid. She bled through it in a matter of minutes and we still had to ride the train home (a 45 minute trip). Luckily we were able to get right into the Dr. and he glued her little chin shut. Thank goodness for super glue - it kept us from having to traumatize our child any further that day! Now Mia has her first scar... I'm sure it will not be her last.

Good Old Lagoon

I know that I rode on boats just like this when I was little. (And I think that I even have a picture for proof.) The rides at Lagoon's kiddie land havn't changed much over the last 25 years. The girls thought they were as fun as I'm sure I did all that time ago.

New blogger here...

A few of our family and friends decided to start blogs, so I guess I will try to do the same, I enjoy looking at them and staying up to date on what is going on with their families. Here it goes...
