A house

This day has been a long time coming. We've lived in an apartment for 9 1/2 years. It was bitter sweet. I loved living in the apartments, more so for the community environment.we moved in with Tyler's dad for about 4 months. After looking for a few months, many offers and acceptance on a few. We found a house in Kearns that we put an offer on and they took our offer, a few days before we had to put Ernest money down, I got a text from a lady in the ward that offered to sell her house to us. It was a little out of our price range, and not exactly the style of house I've always wanted but It felt right. Considering I was crying for a few days about the Kearns house, it just didn't feel right.
We got approved for it and closed at the end of August, and we moved in over Labor day weekend.

I can't believe that my little peanut is 3. It has been such an amazing 3 years watching her grow and learn. She is such a little sweetie, she is such a daddies girl who loves to go on dates with him. Since we are living with Grandpa Madsen we didn't do a party, but she really loves Minnie Mouse so I made her a little Minnie Mouse cake.

First day of school 2016-2017

Summer went by way to fast. This year I decided to home school again. I'm not sure what I am thinking, but it seems to be working. :) We decided to stay with Davinci Academy distant learning program (home school group) again this year. The kids loved having that interaction with other home schoolers on Mondays where they do hands on learning. Plus this year the school decided to do a specials day on Tuesdays where they can pick activities they want to learn. Braxton is doing karate, guitar, Lego Robotics, yoga, and Spanish. Kenzie decided to do Dance, cooking, yoga, and Spanish. They're so excited to be able to do specials this year.
Kenzie is doing 5th grade work besides math because she is struggling with that subject. Braxton is in 3rd grade and seems to be on grade level with everything. He is struggle a little on reading, but doing a lot better then last year. This year Myleigh is doing preschool this year. I decided to put her in the upstart program. Which is an online preschool, she is pretty excited for it, also we will do "preschool story time" at the library every Monday, when the older kids are in "school".
Here is to a fun filled learning adventure for us all.

Summer 2016

Summer was a blast, We stayed at Grandpa Madsen's while we find a house, so I tried to do some fun things at least twice a week. We did a lot of play dates, went swimming with our friends at their pools,went to cowabunga bay, even splash pads. We saw symphonies at Thanksgiving point and went to Deer valley and saw the 1612 overture symphony, both amazing. We got a season pass to Hogle Zoo which was fun. Every time we went to the hospital for Kenzie's check ups we would stop and make it a day. Summer could last forever.
