1st day of Preschool

Ellie is going to preschool 3 afternoons a week and she loves it. She comes home singing all sort of songs and telling me what her teacher did and what they did. I'm so happy that she is having a good time getting to know new kids and socialize while learning.

Carnival

The Iron County Rodeo came through a few weeks ago so we took the kids up for an afternoon of fun. I will have to say that they sure are a money trap but the kids had fun so it was worth it.

Hong Kong

JD had the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong on business the end of August and was able to spend a few days shopping, and traveling all over the island and to a few other small islands near by. He had a wonderful time and was able to bring home some really wonderful things for us.  JD brought me a beautiful green jade bracelet, a gorgeous tea set and I have always loved the Chinese soup spoons so he got me a set of bowls, soup plates and spoons. I love them I promptly looked up recipes for Egg Drop Soup and Hot and Sour Soup and made them and enjoyed eating them with my new bowls and spoons. Mason got a fun light up bouncy ball that he loves to play with, Ellie got a beautiful set of hand carved yellow Jade elephants that are amazing and Dell got a really cool remote control helicopter that her loves to play with and fly with his Dad. JD also got all the kids a little Chinese outfit and they all love wearing them the boys outfits match and Ellie's is purple. I'm working on getting a good picture of all of them together in their outfits but my camera is still acting up.
