Disneyland was amazing and Mickey's Halloween party was totally worth it.  Thanks to grandpa Randy and grandma Jody for joining us! We had a blast.  Here is proof:

Peter preschool 2014-2015

 Peter started his first official year of preschool today.  We ask him a few of his favorites.  Here are his responses. 

Favorite color: Rainbow

Favorite Food: Chicken Nuggets

Favorite thing to do: Play with friends

Favorite Movie: Star Wars

Favorite Toy: Monster Trucks

Favorite Friend: Solomon

Favorite Place to Go: Old McDonalds

Favorite Candy: Chocolate

What he wants to be when he grows up: Doctor

We love this boy.  He is not lacking in personality that is for sure.  Some words I would use to describe Peter would be funny, strong, friendly, adventurous, and loving.

1st grade

Here in Utah, they have year round school which means we had a 3 week summer and are now back at school! I didn't post her last day of school pictures because they were literally taken 3 weeks ago and look pretty much the same as she does now.  

I am a little more sad having her in 1st grade than I was having her in kindergarten.  She gets to go all day and will eat lunch at school.  I think Pete and I are going to miss her!

Here are some of her favorites...

Color: Pink and Purple

Movie: Frozen

Thing to do: Play with Anna and Elsa barbies at Eliza's house

Food: Mac and Cheese

Place to go: Chuck E Cheese

What she wants to be when she grows up:  Ballerina (which is really funny because she chose not to do ballet again)
