Presty Starts Kindergarten!!

Ahhh, my little munchkin is growing up! This morning he caught his first bus to Kindergarten. From the moment he woke up, he was sooo hyper. He talked and talked all morning... so excited for his first day of what he calls "real" school. No more of that pre-school nonsense for him! ;) Trevin and Daxton didn't understand his excitement for school and kept telling him that he won't like it when he has to get up and do it all over again tomorrow. I hope they don't pop his bubble while on the bus. Trev and Dax are still in summer mode and can't quite get into school this year. Here's our little guy... ain't he cute??? Now with Matt off to work, it's just me and Ayla... the girls! I'll be sure to treasure the moments we have together. Just like my little Preston, Trevin, and Dax, before her ... before I know it she'll soon be off to school too! They grow up WAY to fast! Have Fun At Kindergarten Little Man, We Love You! xoxoxo

Our Hike to the Bell Canyon Waterfall

A few weeks ago (this is how on top of things I am) we went on an amazing hike. It was a perfect day, and it turned out to be quite the adventure getting there... but the reward was worth it. The waterfall was amazing! We hiked to the Bell Canyon Waterfall. It was a 4 mile round trip hike. Little did we realize how tough it would really be. It was a step hike over large boulders and rocks most of the way. It took us close to 2 1/2 hours to get up to the waterfall. The kids stopped a lot for drink breaks, and to sit and relax. It may have taken us a while to get up there, but I'm so proud of the kids... they were great little hikers! Preston was amazing. His little legs could only go so fast... yet he kept up. The whole way down we held hands and he talked NON STOP. I heard story after story and answered so many questions. He's such a cute kid and he has a great imagination. Ayla was spoiled riding on top of Matt's shoulders most of the way up. He is so amazing... I could barley get myself up the hill at times and here's Matt... hiking like a pro with a 3 year old on his shoulders. It took us close to an hour and a half to come down and the views were amazing! When it was all said and done, we had a great time, made some great memories, and we're all ready for another incredible adventure together! Here are some highlights...
