Going to church - or a fashion show

I just love these dang kids. Lauren and her poses and Grayson and his self chosen outfits. How did I get so lucky!

Tae Kwon Do

So we started Grayson in a Little Tigers Tae Kwon Do class. He loves it! It is SOOOO cute to see him in his little outfit. He recently got his first belt which is white with one orange stripe. He is very excited about working his way up through the program. Mom and Dad are very excited to see how this helps G-Dawg. We hope that this really helps curb the backtalk and enhance the confidence level around other people. We're in this for the long haul. Here are a few shots from his first class.

Twins 1st Day of School - August 18, 2010

So the twins started their first day of all day kindergarten this past week. To say they were excited would have been a huge understatement. We were very prepared right down to their matching t-shirts and backpacks. As usual, we were running late in the morning so got to the school just in time for the kids to walk in. That is why you don't see any of the other kids lined up to go in the door. As a result, I couldn't kiss them goodbye, which was probably for the best. I broke down later on, but all in all, it was a great day and they LOVE school. And guess, what mommy LOVES them being in school.......ALL DAY! :)

The night before......getting ready for the big day!

The normal front porch pictures.

Come on guys.....we're going to be late.

No time for goodbyes, we have to go.

The end of the first day. Lauren was not feelin the photo op.

Had to get the usual picture in front of the school sign. Didn't have time to do that in the morning so we grabbed this after school. Again, Lauren was ready to just be home. It was hot!

Darrian turns 11

Darrian turned 11 on August 10th. We took the family and 2 of her friends out to dinner to Red Robin and then shopping to Justice. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. I made her this cake and thing it turned out pretty darn good. Here she is blowing out her candles. Check out Macy's face before and after.

Macy was tired

Thought these were too cute not to share. She wore herself out in her exer-saucer.

The clock is ticking!!!

My babies start all day kindergarten next week. We went to their back to school ice cream social last night and met their teacher and saw where they would be sitting. They are so excited and I am just preparing myself for the water works that will be flowing out of my eyes that morning as I drop them off. Here are a few pics from last night. My babies are growing up!

Macy's Finalization

Well the long awaited date finally arrived. Macy was going to be officially ours....a Morby!

We headed over to Utah on Wednesday, July 28th and had the finalization at the SLC Courthouse on Thursday, Fri 29th @ 9am. It was awesome. We had several family members there and it was a very special occasion. Here are some pics from the wonderful morning.

Macy loves her daddy!

Grammie & Grampie love their grandkids!

Spending time with cousins Lilly & Madison who were born in February.

Madison wasn't too happy about her photo op. Lilly did quite well though.
