Onion Days

We were lucky enough to go to Andy's folks house for Labor Day Weekend. Which means we got to join in on the Payson Onion Days Festivities. It was only the second time I have every got to go to Onion Days so it was a treat. Sunday Night they had a band concert at the Payson park so afterward the girls convinced Andy to sleep out on the tramp at Grandma Helen's house.

 So we got an early start and got to play on the toys at the park before the parade started.

Tayla loves the monkey bars. She has done them so much she has calluses on her hands from the bars

My little swinger girls. Amerie would swing all day if we let her.

Brelyn must be a Ewell is loves the swings too!

We loved seeing family and enjoyed playing with cousins while we waited for the parade to start. 

Keeping warm with Aunt Sheral and Whitney

Tayla loves playing with her cousins esespecially Alex and Ariana 

Brelyn walk up and down the road before the parade and think she thought she was on parade

Grandma Ewell & Amerie, Grandma Helen, Grandpa Ewell &  Brelyn

 I think Amerie was still a little tired from sleeping on the tramp because she was not a happy camper so that is why most of the pics that I got of her was like to ones below

 The parade finally started and the kids got was to much candy and saw lot of fun things like the BYU Cougar

Brelyn even got in the action. She some how found a sucker and was going to town on it. She was loven it!

 After the parade we went to a car show with Uncle Damon and Aunt Sheral and we found Mater

 On a side not while we were at Grandma and Grandpa Ewell's house I found out how well Tayla could climb!

 I know not the best pic but this is Tayla at the top of the Tether Ball Pole

On her way to the top of the swing rope. She climb clear up to the top. Crazy Monkey!

We had so much fun with family we even got a family pic in Thanks Steph. It is fun being closer to family we are able to see them every now and them.

Amerie is in Preschool

Amerie stated preschool with a co-op we are doing with some ladies in the ward taking turn teaching in our homes. She was so excited to go to "school" like Tayla. She was actually  really mad when I picked her up after preschool and said we were done. She didn't think she had gone to school because she didn't get to go to a big  building like Tayla so after some explaining she was alright and loved it every since.

Her sitting mat with her name

Her binder to put all her fun art projects in

Her 1st day of preschool Sept 2011

Amerie was so excited that she go her own mat and binder that she wanted to show it off.

Amerie has grown up so much the last little bit. She love her big sister and has to do everything just like her. Tayla and her play so well together. They love to play pretend and it seem Ameire is usally a dog. She barks just like a little yappy dog. She is thinks she is so big and want to take care of Brelyn or "Ba-len" as she would say it always making funny noise to make her laugh and picks her up to bring to mom when she is not happy( much to Brelyn's dismay). We love our little "bubba" so much. She is such a fun addition to our family.

1st day of school

Tayla started her 1st day of school on Aug 22. She was so excited to go. She couldn't  wait to be in school. She as loved it everyday since.

Tayla, Amerie and Brelyn

Tayla so ready to start school

When they come out of school they need to hold up a card when they see their Parents

Tayla want to show her hair off, she loves when people tell her how pretty her hair is!

I am so proud of Tayla she has worked hard to start reading and doing addition and subtraction problems. She is such a good sister and friend to everyone. She has such a kind heart and wants to be kind to all. I love her and going to miss her as she is starting this school adventure. She is my little sweet heart!

Our Little Monkeys

So Andrews nickname for Brelyn came true this week. He has nicknamed her monkey.

The girls got a bunk beds recently and have found it fun to do this

Well Brelyn want to join in the action and she is just tall enough to grab the bars and here is what she did all by herself

She was having so much fun being a "Big" girl with her sisters

Teeth

3 Teeth in the last month mean lots of biting on everything and EVERYONE! Ouch Brelyn is a common phase in our home lately .

Ears of Corn

Amerie came over today while I was getting dinner ready. I just finished husking the corn. When I asked what is that holding up a piece of corn. " An Ear of Corn" matter- factly she said. Oh do we hear with this ear? "No" she answers. then why do we call it an ear. "I don't know ".
Then she counted the ears of corn for me.
When did my little toddler get so big to carry on a conversation. I feel like it was just yesterday she was just being to say one word phrases.

Watch out Boise here we come!
