I. Will. Get. Caught. Up.

So here goes: Sept 9, 2009

Connor-1st day of 4 year old pre-school. Isn't he handsome? Don't let that face fool you-he is T-R-O-U-B-L-E! We love you!!!

Sadie's 1st piggy tails! Oh my-Isn't that ca-ute?!! How many 9 month old's do you know that can have pony tails? August 29, 2009

Just so you know-this hair-do lasted all of about 5 minutes, but it was fun to try!
Here is Connor-see what I mean? He is a total ham for the camera. I love him. I can't imagine our home without him. He is so funny!
How do you like this hair-do? This is classic Sadie after she wakes up in the morning. So happy, crazy hair. Oh-you are so yummy!!!
Nothing better or sweeter than a sleeping baby. What do you think she is dreaming of? Ahhh-sigh.
Parker, Easton, and Connor. These three little cousins were all born within a year of each other. They got to take swimming lessons this past summer and had a ball. The deal was that they HAD to have treats after each swim lesson. If you think Connor is trouble on his own, just get him together with these two cuties. Oh my-we'll have to keep an eye on these three. Harmless fun, of course!!
Connor doing a dive. He really took off this summer in swim lesson. In fact, both boys did-I however do not have a picture of Peyton.
Bop with the girls. My Dad was nick-named Bop by Madison-one of the older girl cousins. It is the best name for him, and he loves it. This is Bop with Aleah in the back, Macy and Sadie. These are my sisters girls. Macy and Aleah are about 6 weeks apart from each other. I remember being so happy for each of them, but also wanting a little girl of my own to join them. I felt sorry for myself, and was a little mad that I wasn't pregnant at the same time. Little did I know that Heavenly Father had a plan, and Sadie was born 5 months later! Bop loves his girls.
Peyton-1st day of 3rd grade. I love how blue his eyes are in this picture. Every year we do a picture by our front door. I love it! July 27, 2009

Here is little Say-Say, as I've started to call her. Look at how cute she is-notice the little bracelet I put on here that day? Cute huh? Next picture........

not so happy because she kept trying to bite her bracelet off and I got a little upset. I mean how can you not just want to love and comfort that face?? Breaks my heart.
Another classic Sadie after naptime. I am not kidding when I say I do that little girl's hair about 3-4 x's a day. Ahh-the joy of lots of thick, long (for her age), black hair. I wouldn't have it any other way. So Happy!!! July 28, 2009

Peyton's Baptism

Peyton got baptized on Aug. 21, 2009. It was a really nice day. Shane baptized and confirmed him. Grandpa Kjar gave a talk on baptism about the 3 "bears". He did a great job! Afterwards we had everyone back to our house for subway sandwiches and a lot of yummy food! Peyton-we are so proud of the young man you are becoming. You are sweet, sensitive, loving, smart, caring, and an all around good boy! We can already see your budding testimony and hope you remember what a neat day your baptism was. We love you so much!!!

(just a funny side note: Peyton got baptised the same day as Savannah Smyly. We kept telling them to scoot closer to each other to get their pictures taken. They would NOT get close to each other-it was really cute and funny.)

Here are our family pictures we just had taken. I cannot wait to get the enlargements back!

Summer catch-up part 2

Just a quick catch-up of what we've been up to this past summer....I swear I will be caught up this week! One day I put Sadie in front of the TV to watch Baby Einstein while I got in the shower. She was not crawling yet, so I felt pretty safe putting her on the floor. As I was getting out of the shower I heard her wimper a bit like she was starting to cry, but I could tell she was still ok. So while I was hurrying to put some clothes on she stopped crying. When I got out to the family room, this is what I saw. She was in the middle splits ASLEEP! I felt so bad, but had to grab my camera quick! I still laugh when I look at this.

We went to see the 24th of July floats at the Sandy Expo
Little missy miss, just after her bath......what a sweetie!
Look at all that hair!
   Sadie loves bath time!
Peyton turned 8 this past August and is now in cub scouts-he loves it. I think he looks so handsome in his uniform!
Peyton got to go to cub scout day camp in July since he was only 2 weeks away from turning 8. Shane went up with him that day. Peyton loved it!

In July we went to Colorado to visit the Grapers (Shane's sister and her family). They were great hosts! We had  such a fun time with them. They have boys (Kole and Braydon) that are about the same age as Peyton and Connor. Kimi and I had a blast going shopping, to the pool, and just hanging out. I wish we lived closer! They took us (along with Sadie) to The White Chocolate Grill one night while we had a babysitter for the boys. It was soooooo good. I can't wait to go back!


This was at the Denver Children's Museum. Shane is so cute! I love him.
Connor playing "vet" at the Children's museum

Look for installment #3 of summer coming soon!!!

Summer Catch-up Part I

Kjar Family Pictures-2009

We did some cute family pictures over the 4th of July this year. We took them ourselves and I think they turned out pretty cute!! A good camera makes a huge difference-thanks Kim!! I am hoping for a Cannon Rebel for Christmas. I think I am in love.

Cecret Lake

We took a hike with the Burke's in July up to Cecret Lake. It was not the greatest weather during our hike, but we were prepared with poncho's and raincoats. We took a picnic lunch up with us and had so much fun. The boys loved hiking with the Burke kids and didn't mind the rain at all. I was surprised that there was still some snow up there in July! Sadie loved riding in the backpack and fell asleep on the way down. She is such a sweetie! We had to cross a small stream a couple of times on the hike and we told the kids to be really careful and not fall in. Most of the time we carried them across. Guess who ended up with a soggy foot? ME! The water was freezing! We did have a really good time and are excited to find some other small hikes we can do together.
