Cheerleading

So we got a flier about a cheer camp and Kaytlin begged and pleaded to be able to go. She loves anything with cartwheels, cheering & gymnastics. I asked Alayna if she would like to do it to and she said yes. A month later I still hadn't signed them up but Kaytlin doesn't forget anything. We secretly signed them up and didn't tell them they got to do it. On the day of the cheer camp I got them ready to go and told them they got a surprise. We got to the cheer clinic and Kaytlin still had no idea what it was for but as soon as the cheerleaders came up to her the joy on her face was thanks enough. After the cheer clinic they got to perform at halftime of Bonneville's football game.

 Warming up with their groups on the night of the football game before they performed.

 Showtime!

Back to School

August always comes around and this momma is always ready for the kids to head back to school.

Brayden

7th Grade (Middle School)

We attended an orientation for middle school. He got his schedule and locker. On the first day of school the bus never showed up so I took him to school. He was a little nervous to be at a new school.

 First day of school! 

Kaytlin

3rd Grade

She was excited to get back to school so she could play with her friends at recess (Her words not mine). She says the thing she enjoys most in class is taking AR tests on her books.

Alayna

1st Grade

First Day of School! She was so excited to get to eat lunch at school! 

She loves recess and her teacher!

 Day 2 and still excited for school.

Back to School Night for the Girls!

Trying out her desk at Back to school Night.

 First Day of School! 

I might have been excited for the kids to go back to school but I still miss them while they are gone so I decided to apply to work at the girls school. I see them every day and get hugs from my Alayna girl! 

Alayna's Birthday

Alayna turned 6 this year. She is going into 1st grade. She loves to play babies with her big sister, loves treats of any kind and loves helping in the kitchen when mom cooks and bakes. She is the youngest and knows it and uses it to her advantage sometimes :)

Had a little family party. She got a lot of col stuff. A new bike, "american girl doll" in her words but a doll, stepping stone craft, a new backpack and purse refill.

 Their reaction to her new bike when it came in the house.

 The cake she picked and we served it with ice cream.

 She chose to have her birthday dinner at Red Robin. I think all the kids enjoyed her sundae.

Happy Birthday, Alayna! 

You are a joy to our family and keep us laughing!

Utah Trip

A high school buddy of Josh's who lives in Texas currently but with him being in the military has been in many places was coming to utah for a family event and asked if our family would come down and spend a day with them. We met up with their family at the Hoogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.

We then went to the Gateway to cool off by playing in their water fountain.

 Then we went up the mountain and found a park we could eat lunch at and check out the view. It was just up the street from their capital building.

Then we went down to Temple Square to see the new church movies from Meet the Mormons. We were in the first viewing of the new films and it was packed but super fun.

 Always an adventure! We then headed over to the City Creek Center because the girls insisted we go to the Disney store...

!!! DISNEY STORE!!!! 

The girls were ecstatic and in heaven in this store.

Our hotel happened to be pretty close to several other temples so we took a drive. The Jordan River temple was currently closed for renovations but was still beautiful. The Oquirrh Mountain Temple was our final stop on our quick getaway to visit friends!

We love going on adventures and not having an agenda when we travel.

 We always find fun things to do and people we know :) Until next time Baker Clan!
