A Date? What's that?

Ryan is a UMA delegate representing medical students. He participated in their meetings, votings, and the banquet reception. He found the political side of the medical scene very interesting. I am sure he would have more to say on the subject than I, but as you have noticed he doesn't blog. 

Friday night He and I attended the banquet. It was really fun to get all dressed up. We sat with several great couples, but one couple from Provo was in particularly fun to talk to with lots of stories. The entertainment was wonderful with Peter Brianholt & David Tolk .... How fun is that? 

The biggest bummer of the night was forgetting to take the camera and take a picture of us at the beginning of the night when my hair looked nice and I still had lipstick on.... so here is the 10 p.m. I am tired but still want to document the night picture. 

 

Dinosaur Field Trip

Our FunShine Express Co-op had our first field trip. Part of the kids' curriculum this month was dinosaurs, and in honor of that we went to The Museum of Ancient Life. Our family has never been there, but enjoyed our first experience!  
 

The preschool kids had worksheet to complete during the museum. It wasn't all fun and games. Actually they are still young enough and excited about writing all by themselves that they are eager to get a worksheet. 

 

O.k. maybe it was fun and games!

The water table was a fan favorite for everyone!

The kids got to do a little archeological dig. 

Or roll around in the sand.

Group shot - minus Isaiah (who was still lovin' that water table) and Noah (who just didn't want to be in the picture).

My camera is having issues or most likely user issues. My camera kept making everyones eyes very demon like. I tried my best to fix them but if your kid still looks a little freaky... sorry. 

P.S. Not all of these children do the co-op preschool. We are going to try and do our field trips on wednesdays so that our neighborhood play group can join us for the fun!

StIckeRs

You may have noticed that Oma gave James some of her never ending supply of stickers for his birthday. This is what he did with them... 

Cool dude!

"See I have some on my arm too."

I forgot to get a picture of his back, which was covered as well, and the neck stickers went all the way around. The decorating are all thanks to his sister!

Basketball Party

Friday we had a Basketball BBQ Party for James.

We had a little obstacle course where they pretended to be basketball players training for the big game. The basketball hoop kept them happy throughout the evening.

Stroller parking?

James super cool basketball cake and cupcakes!

 

 

James received several awesome presents. This was his very own frisbee! (He loves them. He calls it a "throw".

He received a "Cars" rolling backpack. 

I don't have pictures of them all but he got lots of great gifts.  

He Loves his crocs and I love that he doesn't wear Kaylie's pink ones anymore!

He got a package from Oma in the mail!

Thanks Oma!

Cutie Bear Visits Georgia

Most of Ryan's side of the family has seen the post on Grandma Jo's blog about Kaylie's teddy bear's visit to Georgia. Since her blog is private I wanted to share it on our blog as well! So if you have already seen JoAnn's post scroll two thirds of the way down the post and you will see what happened next!

Dear Kaylie,

Pappy and I had a wonderful time at Disney World in Florida. We were really excited that you were able to have a sleep over Friday night at our hotel. It was hard to say 'goodbyes' on Saturday. On our long drive home just as were almost in Georgia we heard a noise in the back seat.....

It was Cutie Bear!!! We had left her in our car after your sleepover. Pappy and I talked about what we should do. It was too late to turn around, you were already on the airplane headed back to Utah. We would just have to mail Cutie back home to you.

Pappy was hungry by now, we decided to stop at the Olive Garden for lunch.

Cutie enjoyed the desert!!

Pappy and Cutie Bear were very tired from our fun trip to Disney World. Pappy had to remind Cutie of the rules... No snoring and NO TOOTING under the covers!!!

Cutie was excited to be able to spend a few days in Georgia before heading home to Utah. The next morning was Sunday. Cutie Bear was up early getting ready for church.

After lunch Pappy and I headed out to Jekyll Island to visit Grandma and Grandpa Corbett.

Cutie had a lot of fun driving the golf cart. She is a crazy driver!

She even got to see a very large ship! Wow!!!

Cutie Bear loved to fish from the pier.

Before Pappy went to work on monday, Cutie wanted to pretend to be a cop.

11-02 do ya copy? 10-4.

Then Cutie just hung around until the mailman came.

We loved having Cutie Bear stay with us. We will miss her. Hope she had a fun time in Georgia. Next time we hope that Kaylie and James can stay too. Love, Pappy and Grandma Jo

Cutie Bear made it home!

Kaylie & Cutie were so happy. There was a lot of bear hugging and smiling.

Kaylie took her to the bedroom so they could snuggle for a minute.

James wanted to snuggle in his bed for a minute too, for some nuh-nuh chewing of course.

Thank you Grandma & Pappy for taking such good care of Cutie in Georgia. I am pretty sure all of the Browns, Skidmores, and Teerlinks are jealous that Cutie got to see Grandma's new house before anyone else! 

Bippity Boppity Boutique

Kaylie's wish came true in the form of being made into Princess Jasmine. She had 2 hand maidens that did her hair and make up and all the while treated her like royalty.

Kaylie getting her long hair put in.

She had a magic mirror to keep her face from getting sprayed with anything from water to hair spray or glitter. 

Our dazzling finished Princess. Neither set of grandparents recognized her when she came running up to them later. 

Big Jasmine & Little Jasmine comparing threads

The Agraba bunch! 

....And this is where the juicy lips came from as well. Jasmine couldn't resist those cute cheeks. All the boys were super jealous!
