Lucy's First Day of Kindergarten!

One week after the big girls started school, on Tuesday, August 3oth, it was Lucy's turn to join them! She started Kindergarten! So excited to go!
Lucy loves to come up with great poses for pictures!

Mom and Kelsey went with Lucy and did a few little things around their classroom, but when we were done Lucy was totally ready for us to leave..."you can go now Mom" is what she said. Here is one finally picture with her sister right before we left.

First day of School 2010!

Tuesday, August 24th Summer officially ended and Mary and Brynn headed off to their first day of school. Mary is in 4th Grade with Mr. Crockett, and Brynn is in 2nd Grade with Mrs. Jurkatis.

Mary!

Brynn!

Sisters had to get in on the picture taking!

Last trip of the summer...Washington!

I LOVE going to visit the Seattle area and my family up there. Here are a ton of pictures to document the fun time we had! We finally got to visit "Hickman Park". It is in Woodway, WA the little town my grandparents live in, and is named after my Papa Bob. It was a really cool park. We ate fish and chips for dinner there and the kids had a blast playing.
Kelsey loved the slide there...she was so brave!

Here are Mollie (my cousin), Mary, Brynn, and Lucy playing on the fun equipment.

Now up to the lake! Colin and Lucy playing on the playground there.

Baby Mason's first trip to the lake!

Everyone has a blast jumping off the high dock. Here are Brynn and Uncle Corey.

Even Kacy did it! The Lake was actually "warm" this year and Kacy got in a couple times.

Lucy didn't get in very much, swimming isn't her thing yet, but she sure loved running around in her swimsuit.

Mary being silly!

And Brynn leaping!

This is Mary and Mollie tubing. They had a blast both tubing and doing everything else together! They are two little peas in a pod!

Papa Jon, Corey and Colin had fun tubing as well!

Here are Lucy and my little cousin Max, they got to be great little friends!

Everyone loves the hot tub!

Isn't this place beautiful!?!

Grandma and Papa taking the girls out for a jetski ride. This was one of the things Lucy would actuallly do!

Mary loved wakeboarding, she did it almost everyday. Brynn tried it this year too, and did a great job (those pictures are on a different camera dang it!)

The two who stared it all! Grandma Lucy and Papa Bob celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary and every member of the family (except my cousin Grahm who is on a mission) was there to celebrate with them. We crammed a lot of us into the lake house (which they bought 23 years ago), and had a great time doing it! Thank you Grandma and Papa for your wonderful legacy, and a wonderful place to be together!

Here is the whole Hickman Clan!

Kelsey's First Haircutt

Last week cousin Irene came over and cut all of the girl's hair, however this was Kelsey's first haircutt..ever! She actually did pretty well, and she looks so grown up with her bangs. We all think she is so cute! Thanks to Irene for some great haircutts!

Lucy Turns 5!

Because we were going to be in St. George on Lucy's real birthday, and that cousin Peyton was leaving for Michigan, we celebrated Lucy's birthday on Tuesday, July 11th. Lucy's party was going to the "Salon" and getting her hair styled and make-up done. She invited Emma and Peyton, and her sisters. Then we went to Shave Ice. It was a pretty easy party for mom! That night the Kilpatrick's came over for cake and presents. I think Lucy has a pretty fun day. Then on her real birthday in St. George she got more presents, a fun day of swimming, and carrot cake! What a lucky girl. But we are lucky too to have sweet little crazy Lucy in our family. Lucy getting her make-up done.
Lucy thought she looked like Taylor Swift when she was done.

All the beautiful girls!

Enjoying some shave ice...the workers at the Shave Ice place even sang to Lucy.

Lucy wanted a strawberry cake, so here it is.

Lucy scored on her birthday...a couple good movies, a couple barbies, and couple good twirly dresses...what more could Lucy ask for?

Here is Lucy on her real birthday in St. George...we had a great trip and Lucy basically got two birthdays!

One Week...Two New Nephews

On Tuesday, July 6th Edward Kristopher (or Eddie) was born to Kori and Dave. Her due date was not until the 15th, but he must have been excited to come. On Friday, July 9th Mason Scott was born to Corey and Jessica. Her due date was not until the 13th, but he must have wanted to give his dad a birthday present (he was born on Corey's birthday). We were so excited to get two new nephews in one week - one on each side of the family!

Kelsey Turns 2!/4th of July

On July 5th our little Kelsey turned 2! I can't believe she is a full blown toddler...I still call her 'baby' all the time. She is wild, but lots of fun! Since the 4th was on a Sunday, Utah celebrated the 4th on Monday, and Kelsey's birthday became a birthday/4th of July celebration! Kelsey woke up to a sign and presents that her sisters had made for her.
She loved putting on the "lips" that she gotAnd here she is playing with the matchbox cars she got. We went outside to see the flag and here is sweet little Kelsey holding still for one second to smell a flower that Lucy picked off our plants

She was also very excited about the Barbie movie she got

Later the Kilpatrick family came over for dinner, cake, presents, and a few fire works.

She enjoyed her cake...in her tutu.

She is very excited about the truck she got from cousins.

Here Kelsey and Blake are watching the few fireworks we did.

Here are the cute cousins witht the awesome glow in the dark flags Katie got them. By the looks of Kelsey she certainly had a fun day!
