Hannah and Alexa both started school today! Hannah is in the 4 year old class and Alexa is in the 3 year old class. They are going to small wonders again.
I have to say, it was so nice today, I went to the grocery store and it was so quiet and peaceful, not hearing, "mom, can I have this" and yelling at them in the store to "STOP running away and stay by me, or you are getting in the cart!"
I love these girls, but OH!! the joy of preschool and no kids at the grocery store!!
Matt did the spudman again this year. When he did it 2 years ago just Matt and I went, but we decided to take the whole family up and watch him this year. He trained a little more this year, got a real road bike (instead of using his mountain bike with road tires, like last time), and he beat a good 20 min. off his time.
My brother in law and some guys from Matt's work also did it. They had fun, I guess if you call swimming a mile down the snake river, biking 25 miles, and running 6 miles fun..... (it wouldn't be for me, that's for sure!!)
Good Job, Hon!! I'm proud of you, I could never do it!!
We had to wait for Alexa to turn 3 before I could put her in swim lessons. So right around her birthday, she did her first year of lessons! She did so good and had lots of fun getting in the water and learning to "swim"....
Alexa Kay Hood turned 3 years old on July 30th.
The day before her birthday we had a pony party for her with some friends.
They played pin the tail on the pony.... (none of the kids wanted the mask on and yet they still didn't put the tail in the right place..... I guess that's 2 and 3 year olds for you!)
We ate cupcakes with icecream!
Had a pony pinata....
And got to have a real pony come to give rides to all the kids.... (you can't see her face very well, but you can see her tail!)
Happy Birthday Alexa!! You are getting so big and fun!
