For the First Time

I know the title sounds like some kind of love song, but we had two first time events happen this past week. First, Ashlie went to her first day of preschool. Ashlie was so excited to go that she woke up early, got dressed and came in to ask me if it was time to go to preschool yet. Too bad she doesn't go until 12:00. She loved her first day and was not a bit sad to leave, Cade on the other hand had a hard time with Ashlie being gone, and kept asking for "Bashie" (that is Cade for Ashlie) to come home.This past weekend we also decided to take the whole family camping. We hadn't been camping since the fun carefree days of MSA and MSA camp outs. It was definitely time to take Cade and Isaac on their first camping trips. It was quite the adventure. We had a hard time finding a camp site. It definitely was not like Logan Canyon, but eventually we pulled into a campsite and made it our own. The night was complete with hot dogs and smores, and we ended the trip with a small hike with the kids. All in all it was a fun time.

A Sports Filled Weekend

So we started out the weekend going to a baseball game with some friends of ours. Ashlie wasn't so excited about the game, but loved being with her friend Lizzie, eating snowcones and getting to meet the big Hawk that was walking around the game. The night ended with a fireworks show. Saturday as most of you know was opening day for BYU football. We had our own little annual kickoff party complete with a BBQ, chips and dip, soda and lots of treats. All week Dan has been getting the kids excited for BYU football. Cade runs around yelling "go cougars" and singing his BYU song (if you missed it, it is in an earlier post called, this should make daddy proud), while on the other hand Ashlie one night informed her dad that she did not like football, but she liked Barbies. She then informed him that while he was watching football she would be watching Sleeping Beauty, which she did. We were glad at our house for a win from the cougars. Sleeping Beauty party, complete with a tea party, and whoppers.
