Cookies


Today we made oreo cookies for a relief society activity I had. The boys were such good little helpers. I think it's fun to let them help cook and such...even if it makes a mess. Of course, the best part about making cookies with frosting...is licking the bowl. Especially when it is still full! Bella was a little mad that I wasn't letting her get in on the fun! I wasn't up for that much of a mess. Poor picked on little Bella...

First Day of Preschool



Simon had his first day of preschool yesterday. He was so excited to go back with Miss Margene. On Monday, my mom and I took Simon to buy some new school clothes. He thought it was the coolest thing that he got to have new clothes and new shoes. He loved the shopping until we stopped shopping for him...then he wanted to go home.

Simon LOVES going to preschool. I asked him what he liked best and he said that he loves Miss Margene, and he likes all of his new friends. He says that he is also excited to learn all of his shapes and letters (even though he already knows them.) Ben and I love that he loves to learn. He really is so dang smart.

Simon went to preschool last year...but this year seems kind of different. I guess it's that he will be going to kindergarten next year...but he can't be that grown up yet! My little baby is getting so big!

I took a few pictures for his first day of school. For once he was actually happy to pose for me. Nolan wanted to take a picture too, and since he was willing, I thought, why not?! Here's the picture of my sweet Nolan...
