I have had these photos saved in my email, some longer than others, but have finally decided to post them here.

I know, I cannot believe it myself but it's true...Lexi started preschool today. She will only be attending Tuesdays and Thursdays this year. She has been so excited to start school!! It was the first thing she asks about this morning when she woke up!

Here she is standing in our kitchen, showing off her new backpack!

Here we are waiting in the lobby of her school before heading down to her classroom!
She is starting to look a little nervous!!
Now she is much better!! :)



In her classroom
Here she is with her two teachers, Ms. Sievert and Mrs. Wolff!

I do have some video that Brian took of all of us this morning but I cannot seem to get it to upload today so I will try again tomorrow! Please enjoy the photos for now!

On Sunday, we went to visit my brother at his new apartment in Stoughton. It was great to see him again and the kids just adore him. After the long car ride, the kids had a lot of energy to burn off so we let them run around outside. The weather was great; not too hot! Here are a few photos of us all having fun!

You cannot live in Wisconsin and not go to the State Fair, especially when you have children that love looking at animals! Brian took the day off of work on Friday to take us to the fair and it was such fun! We went into every animal barn we could find and stayed as far away from all the rides and games as we could! :)

Lexi and I went on the Sky Glider. She thought it was so cool to see everything from so high up! She was pointing at everything she saw and telling me what it was; it was great! (If it looks like Lexi's teeth and lips are blue, it's because they are! She had just finished a blue sno-cone before we got on the ride!)

Last Thursday night, Brian was out to dinner with customer so it was just the kids and I! They were so good all day and into the evening that I gave them each a chocolate chip cookie before bed. They were so cute, I couldn't resist snapping a few photos of them!

We took the kids to Grandma Halyburton's house in Three Lakes this weekend! We arrived Friday morning and left Sunday afternoon. Jack was having a hard time sleeping on Friday night and was up very early Saturday morning so we sat outside on the deck to play while everyone else slept. He would just stand there, point out and say, "lake" or "boat". It was pretty cute!
Brian and the kids spent some time in the lake on Saturday. He took both of them on separate rides in the wave-runner, which they love more than swimming! While Jack was taking a nap, Lexi and I played in the sandbox and colored in her books outside. By the time we were all ready for dinner, Lexi was pretty tired! You will be able to see that in the last picture! Sweet, tired girl! :)

On Wednesday night after dinner, I decided to take the kids and our dog, Cash to this great dog we just discovered this past weekend. It is right in Waukesha and it is HUGE!! I couldn't believe how big this place was and that I have never heard about it until now. Not to mention it is only 10 mintues away from our house. It is part of the Waukesha County Parks system and completly fenced in! (This was great for our dog and for Jack because they both love to run around and I knew neither of them could get out!)
