Hummingbirds

This summer, a lady Mike knew from Rotary invited us to her house to feed hummingbirds.  She had trained the birds to eat out of her hand.  She was moving, and wanted to share this experience with others before she left.  We thought it could be fun, so we loaded up the girls and drove up Logan Canyon to her house.  First, she taught them about hummingbirds.  She really loves her birds.  Then she gave them the food and let them give it a try.   The girls had to stand very still,

 which was hard because there were also many wasps around that day that wanted in on the sugar water.  However, they both had at least one hummingbird come to visit.

 Here are just a few random moments in the Wallace household.  One night when we were reading scriputres, Kenna fell asleep.  She was so still, no bobbing head, but she was completely out. She was also pretty mad at me when the flash woke her up and wanted to delete the picture, :)

Skyview had a cowboy and indians day for Homecoming week.  I'm not sure how they snuck it in, because it can't be politically correct, but the kids had fun with it.  This is Connor as a cowboy.  We thought he it was a good look for him.

Double Digits

On Sept. 6, 2011, Katelyn left behind single digits forever, sigh.  She's ten.  That really is a milestone, but we don't always mark it as one.  We got to celebrate her birthday for 3 days over Labor Day weekend.  On Sunday, "the cousins" came up for dinner.  On Monday, we went minature golfing.  It would have been nice to have pictures of both of these, but hey, that's the way this year has gone.  Tuesday was the big day.

                                                   The first gift. opened before school.

                                                            The candles

                                                    Monster cupcakes for the friend party

 The friends.  For her party, Kate just wanted to take some friends to play laser tag.  They had a ball.

First Day of School

 Connor's first day of HIGH SCHOOL.  Wow.  He had to go a day earlier than every one else.  Sept 23.  It was Sophmore day.  This was really nice.  Just the Sophs went and got tours of the school, etc. to help them feel more comfortable.  Mike got in all the first day of school pictures this year, but I only put this one on.

                                      Chase is the first to leave the house at 6:45.  Con goes at 7:30

                                                            Kate and Kenna leave at 8:30
