Back to School

First day of school interviews:

Crossfit

 Talmage and I joined cross fit. I am trying to lose my belly. When I gain weight I gain it in my belly first, which leads to a lot of pregnant remarks. A women could be ten months pregnant with her water breaking and you should still not ask her if she is pregnant. Let her bring it up. Oh, and for the record. I am not pregnant. I have lost 15 pounds so far.
So we have started crossfit. I have been getting better at push ups, burpees, pull ups, running, weight lifting, etc. While I am doing so, the kids hang out in the kids room. Here are random pictures they take when they are there.

The Importance of Properness

The girls had a tea party with their friends. The china they used was my great grandmother's, Elizabeth Claire. Who I'm named after, I have the same middle name as her. They were very gentle and careful with it. They kept talking about being very "proper" at the party. And were quick to point out who was and wasn't being proper.

Sweet Dewey

Today I was cleaning the kitchen while listening to an audio-book. Sweet little Dewey came and tapped me on the leg (like he always does so sweetly when he needs something) and extended his arms. I picked him up expecting for him to plead for me to do his bidding. But no. He hugged me sweetly and patted me on the back. I loved it so much especially the pat. Then he broke away and I thought, "OK here it comes. He's going to ask me for crackers or water..." But no. Instead he gave me a sweet Dewey-kiss on the lips and then another hug. I felt so loved.

Face Painting Birthday Party

We went to their friend, Kensington's birthday today! It was so much fun! Complete with face painting. The girls and I picked butterflies and Heber picked Captain America. He thought he looked like a ghost after he wiped it off. They liked all the candy and playing at the park. They liked Kensigngton got lots of presents.
