First Day of Preschool!

My other baby is off to preschool. She is disappointed that it can't be everyday but I think 3 mornings a week is plenty! All this to say that I get 9 hours a week to myself. Can you say Hallelujah!!! I know , I know, that will all change in February when the baby comes but I do have this small window of time to do some hiking or swimming. YEAH!

First Day of First Grade!

I can't believe it but my baby is in 1st grade. Mommy

kinda misses her but she couldn't be more thrilled. For

3 days I asked her "So, elena, how was it all day at

school?" And for three days I got the same response,

"WE HAD 3 RECESSES MOM!!!" I seem to remember

that was one fo my favorite parts of the day in school.

I guess some things never change!

Children dirt bike racing?? You Betcha!

Joel and I recently got back from camping outside Yosemite

with almost the whole Dyer clan. It was a lot of fun especially

for the girls who were perpetually filthy. We bought a lovely

camping shower from Cabelas which Joel never used. (5 day
of aroma!!!!) Why did we buy the shower? Anyway, dirt bike

riding was a first for us and was a lot of fun. We even saw a bear

in a meadow in Yosemite Valley. The girls caught their

their own fish with their high tech Tigger and Barbie fishing rods.

Final score= Shan and the girls 18 fish Joel 5 fish

Fisherwomen ROCK!

Better Late Than Never!

I finally joined the world of blogging. I thought it would be a great alternative to myspace and a good way to share pictures/news of the family. I am learning here so be patient, hopefully soon I will have something to share.
