I know I am a little behind and everyone has already posted pictures of the first day of school but I think mine are the cutest! :)
She was so excited!
Sitting at her table!
Lydia saying goodbye to her buddy! She looks like she is crying and she is but because she fell down in the parking lot! 
Abigale had a lot of fun the first day of school but when I picked her up she kept saying that she was tired. When we got to the car she said she didnt feel good and when I looked at her she was really pale and her lips were really blue. Luckily, I had brought a banana and water for her because I figured she would be hungry and she quickly ate it up. Before I got out of the parking lot she was asleep. I was a little worried about her but I think she was just so excited she didnt get much sleep and wouldnt eat much breakfast and got light headed. From now on, I make sure she gets plenty of food in the morning and packed some snacks in her bag, just in case. Luckily, she didnt let it affect her and she still loves school and takes dance lessons every Monday at her school too! The night before we had a spa night and did pedicures and manicures. She loved it and I think it will be our new tradition!
Beautiful glitter toes and fingers!
The week before school started Abigale finished her last class of tumbling. She loved it and got really good but I think it was a little hard on her body so I am glad for now she is sticking with dance.
Had to throw this one in. I Love my kids!

I know I have a lot of pictures of these two but they are just so cute together!
He was loving the fair!
From what I hear and read, the blessing was amazing, but unfortunately I was unable to hear it! The microphone didnt work and Jonathan must have been talking pretty soft because I could not make out one word. I kept waiting for the blessing to start and thought something was wrong with Ryan so I looked up and could see his mouth moving but couldnt hear anything! I am not going to lie, I was pretty upset. I didnt know what to do- I wanted someone to stop him but he was already half way through and I could see Jonathan getting emotional and I knew there was no way he could start over now. As soon as he sat down, I told him what happened and made him write down everything he could remember saying in the blessing. It was nice to be able to read what was said but I was still pretty upset. About half way through the meeting, I had to take Ryan and feed him. While I was feeding him I said a prayer to help me understand and Heavenly Father quickly helped me feel better and realize the words said were not that important- it was more about the feelings and all of the people that were there that love him so much. Jonathan told me that night that he felt that the blessing was really between Ryan and Heavenly Father and we decided that maybe it just wasnt meant for everyone to hear! The bishopric felt so bad and came over that night and said that they checked everything right before church and it was all working and it worked the rest of the day. We decided we can either be mad about it or just realize there was a reason for it and trust our Heavenly Father. Either way, it is a day and learning experience I won't forget!
Look at that face! I just love him! Ryan continues to be a great baby! He can sit up by himself for a few minutes until he tries to reach for something. He can roll over from his stomach to back but doesnt really like it. It always scares him. The last few weeks he has been waking up in the night but we are working on that. I think it is because I have been letting him take naps in his swing and so he has a hard time adjusting to his crib at night. I have started being a lot more strict about naps in the crib which has led to better naps but he still wakes up at night. Who knows? Being a parent is all about guessing and trying everything and then trying to replicate what works, right?
He is a happy guy and is always smiling! We finally put batteries in this dog toy that walks and barks. Ryan thought it was the funniest thing ever and really wanted to pet it or eat it. He puts everything in his mouth and is always reaching for toys with both hands. He smacks his lips a lot so I think he thinks he is talking. Instead he just grunts a lot. He obviously still loves to eat. Look at that double chin! He will not take a bottle :( but we will keep working on it.
Abigale driving the boat!
The cabin was full of mounted animals which I thought would scare the girls but they thought it was pretty cool. The adults had some pretty funny conversations about them and Ben even snuck a deer head outside and knocked on the window to scare us!
