1st day of Preschool!!!:)))))

The twins started preschool a week ago,and I really can't remember where the last almost 4 years have gone!!!! Their going 2 days a week for an hour and a half, the first day was a little rough for the twinners and all the moms stayed that day to go over everything and get familiar. So I was SO nervous for the second day when I actually had to leave them there w out me!:( They've been so excited to go and talk about it all the time. Miss Becky their teacher is GREAT w them,and so patient!:) They cried when I left them and Miss Becky took them in w her. we texted a bit so I would know when they settled down,she said Mia seemed like she really wanted to play w the toys and other kids but wouldn't leave Luke who was still apparently crying in the corner:( The double edged sword of having twins,it's SO nice to know they always have someone and they are so thoughtful of each other,but also tough cause when one is upset the other is going to be to:) She said they loved making their craft that day and were singing on her steps when I came to get them,so hopefully this week it will go a little more smoothly(fingers crossed) the other 4 kids in the class are great and there's no crying for them.....just from the twins:) go figure!ha!:) Well and from me as I drove away from them.so I guess I'm just as bad:(But I'm so proud of them and for anybody that knows them they've come a LONG way from how shy they've been since they were really little:)))))

12 friends+180 miles= Grand Teton Relay!!:))

A couple weeks ago I did the Grand Teton Relay.....it was one of the hardest things I've ever done! And it wasn't even the 16 miles that my 3 legs added up to,it was lack of sleep,shower,the heat and running in the middle of the pitch black night w nothing but a head lamp!! (did I mention it was in the mountains,and people say it's grizzly country)needless to say that 5mile run I did about midnight I don't even remember cause I was running as fast as I could go..or at least as fast as I could see!!!ha!;) I made some great new lifelong friends though and it was such a great experience! The run w the Tetons in the morning as the sun came up really was SO pretty!Trav and the twinners met me up in Driggs to see us finish! They were so proud of me,it was super cute!My dad came to the starting line to see our team off in Ashton,thanks dad!!! It was great to see him there cheering us on! If you would have asked me if I was ever going to do it again the day after I finished I probably would have said HECK no......but now I think maybe I'll be back next year at it again!;))))

A blessing and a Birthday!:)))

I'm finally sitting down to catch up on some posts,so we're gonna combine some of them into 1:))) This month we went up to Montana to see my new nephew Kade be blessed and we also went camping in Montana for Dax's 3rd bday.(let me rephrase the "camping" term,my parents and Kevin's family camped,the Argyle's however went up for the day and drove home to sleep in our own comfy beds by night:)))) LOVE that Trav is NOT a camper either!ha!;) We had a great time and the cousins LOVE getting together,wish we all lived closer! Can't believe it's Sept. our summer went SO fast!:( Im excited for Fall but NOT for winter!;)

We passed!!!!:))))

I had to do a little post about the twinners passing swim lessons! I was so anxious and scared for lessons,cause usually the twins are SO shy.....I guess when it comes to swimming they arent!ha! They LOVED lessons and did SUCH a great job! They loved going every morning and were always so excited! They even did the diving board on the last day and wanted to do it again!And they loved getting their little report card from their teacher on the last day! It was so fun to watch them everyday to! They've graduated from pikes to eels for next year!!!And they can't wait!!!!:)))))

Summer Fun and 4th of July!!!

Thought I'd post some pics of what we've been up to so far this summer,we're for sure taking advantage of the nice weather we're finally having! We went w some friends and saw the circus which the twins really thought was fun, The twinners also got to spend a day w Grandma and their cousins Atlee and Dax at the new Rexburg waterpark, anytime their all together their having a blast!We've done Rigby Lake w friends to and the twins LOVE it there, they LOVE to play in the sand,they had a blast w their good friend Ethan! Their getting so brave when it comes to the water and swimming to which is making me realize they are growing up super fast!:( We've done the zoo a few times so far to:)The other day we did Bear World w my mom and had tons of fun, although I think the twins like riding the carnival rides there better than really seeing the animals?;) 4th of July we went to the parade which the twins LOVED and headed to the Elmore's for a barbque and some fireworks and let the kids swim and play! I'd love to say the twins stayed awake to see some big fireworks,but they fell asleep about 8! ha! Oh well maybe next year! Hope everyone's having a great summer to!!! Enjoy ALL the pics!!:)))

Welcome baby Kade!!!!:)))

I'm an Auntie again and the twinners have another cousin to play with!yay! My brother and Ashley had a little boy on May 27th,Kade Douglas Button weighed in at 7lbs. 12oz.! His older brother and sister are totally in love w him already! We went up to Montana for a couple days to meet the new addition and let the cousins play and give Ash some rest:) We got a hotel that happened to have one of those most massive bath tubs I've ever seen in a normal room,so the kids decided to swim in it instead of the pool!haha! We had a great time and wish we could all get together more often!

I also competed in the Dirty Dash mud run last weekend up above Park City,at Soldier Hollow,which is a beautiful mountain used for cross country skiing in the winter, the Dash was a blast and is fairly new to SLC, It's a 5k,up through the mountainside,w the whole thing covered in mud,w obstacles like hay bales,wood walls,COLD water spraying machines,slides and a final DEEP pit full of mud water,that you MUST swim through to get to the end(no cheating by going around it,dang!) It was huge,5,000 people and sold out! We competed in a team,and your team must all finish together,One of my best friends from high school Becca and her family made up our team,it was good to get to see her!w kids and husbands nowadays,those fun girl trips are few and far between;) We promised to compete every year together! Of course when the Dash was finished,I went to my hotel,showered and got ready for a day of SHOPPING,I must say it was heavenly to have no kids or hubby to rush me along!!!!;) But thanks Trav for watching the twinners for me so I could go have some fun!:))
