School clothes shopping with Grandma


Every year about this time I take Sydnee shopping for school clothes. It's typically been a one day activity either in Ogden or Logan, sometimes both. Lunch at the Olive Garden and always ends with a fashion show. This is the first year that I've taken both Sydnee and Savannah and the first year we've gone away for a couple of days. Jocelyn and Emma joined us as well so we truly had a girls day out. We stayed in Midway at the Worldmark resort. We had a great time. We had dinner at pizza hut and took the girls swimming at the pool afterwards. Joce and Emma just watched and it didn't take Emma's ears to cry "uncle" from all of the noise and so Joce took her back to the room. Sydnee is turning into quite the fish and she's loving swimming. She and Savannah are both in swim lessons and it shows they are both little water dogs! Savannah wanted to jump off the side of the pool for an hour straight. We shook things up by teaching her to dive. She did it perfectly without a single belly flop! Too bad Savannah swims like a rock! Oh well at least she has no fear. The skill will come as she continues to love the water. Tyler taught kids lessons at the pool so he's an excellent dad coach after lessons. We shopped all day on Wednesday. We hit every store at the outlet mall that had kids clothes. Savannah scored 3 new pairs of shoes, Sydnee got one pair but they are a nice supportive pair of new balance tennis shoes. We didn't find any casual shoes with any kind of arch support but I told her we'd keep looking so the shopping spree isn't quite over. I bought the girls each several new outfits and jeans etc to start school with. I bought little Emma a halloween costume. Not going to give that one away just yet but suffice it to say it's adorable!

Slow down, you move too fast! You've got to make the morning last!....

Nash was in no hurry to get here however with a lot of coaching and sweet talking and a little bit of pitocin he finally arrived safe and sound. Wayne was gone fishing with Bryant but as sooon as he got home and showered and changed we ran down to Karie and Tyler's so Wayne could meet his new grandson. He's such a cutie.
