My Kindergarten Baby

Lindsay was ready for school at the crack of dawn today!  Yipee!  She is soo excited for Kindergarten.  She chose her outfit and laid it out last night.  She picked her leggings, tutu, doggy with I-pod shirt, and her glitter "Toms."  She's picking up on the lessons her sisters her giving! 

Luckily the bus stop is just across the street from our house and her buddies Drew and Devry get on with her.

Once she got on the bus she never looked back.  I couldn't even get her to look out the bus window to wave!  She is all business and she looks soo old!  Love my little Lindsay.  Crazy that she's started this phase of life! 

School Haircut

Okay, this girl needs a haircut! 

But seriously, Lauren and Alli took Lindsay with them to get their back-to-school haircuts.  Lindsay was soo sad when she didn't get to get her hair cut, too.  It made her day when she realized she could get her hair cut while the big kids went back to school.  Here she is pre-haircut. 

Love the look on her face while she gets her hair washed! I have a feeling my face looks like that when I get my hair washed, too. 

What should we do?  How about an A-line with "bangs straight across," per Lindsay's instructions.

Now that's a Kindergarten haircut!

Soo cute!

She wanted me to take a picture of both sides!

It's so fun being Lindsay!

School Days

First day of School 2011. Sorry about the sun in the eyes, but we have to get the picture in front of the flag.  For some reason that looks like the first day of school to me.

Alli is in 8th Grade at Mapleton Jr High.  She was the first to go.

Lauren is a Junior--I can't believe it--at Springville High School.  Go Red Devils! 

Calvin is in 5th grade at Hobble Creek Elementary.

Here's the bus stop gang:  Abby and Lydia Rowe, Cooper, Lindsay, Calvin, Ethan, Owen, Jackson and Drew.  Lindsay had to wear her school clothes and backpack, even though she and Drew don't start Kindergarten until next week!  So fun!  Have a great day at school kids!

Calvin is 10!

Here's Cal opening his Jimmer Jersey from Dad and Mom.  Listen to his practical $ sense coming through at the end of the video...funny!

Calvin is such a huge BYU fan!  Notice the Jake Heaps Jersey he's got on already--his B-day gift from Grandpa and Grandma Barrett.  He also got Wipe-out for the Wii from his sisters and money from Grandma and Grandpa Clarke--he already know what games for his Gameboy he's buying!

We invited his buddies to the church to play ball.  We had Alli keeping score and tunes playing--soo fun!  Those boys played for about 3 hours!

Cal and Ethan Little

Teach me how to Jimmer!  

What would we do without this fun guy in our family?  Love you, Cal!

Summer Rocks!

We had a great summer this year.  What did we do?  Well...not much, but we sure had fun!

Lindsay and her buddy Drew at Trafalga on the carousel, giddy-up!

The cool, big boys--Cal, Jackson and Cooper--mini golfing at Trafalga (or is that Hawaii?)

Lindsay and Drew on the "Tidal Wave"--again, Trafalga.

Alli was the only one tall enough to drive the race cars, but it was still fun to be a passenger!

The big boys on the climbing wall.

Alli and Lindsay got soaked in the bumper boats!  Nice way to cool off! 

Lindsay with her sandcastle at the park.

Lindsay on her bike--she just won't do it without her training wheels, and I'm all for not having to run along beside her--for now! 

We had a blast swimming at 7 Peaks, too!  All I need to say is, Thank goodness for the "Pass of all Passes"! Hooray for summer-time!
