First Day of School

Here's Whitney ready to head out the door for her first day of first grade. She was so excited that I asked Steve to wake her up and she was waiting for me in the kitchen and was completely ready to go. Apparently, she didn't sleep much the night before because she was so excited...I wonder if this is a peek into what it will be like at Christmas. After school, I asked her what her favorite part of her day was and she said that she had a corn dog and chocolate milk for lunch. She also mentioned that someone complimented her cool scarf she's wearing. It's so cute to see how she is so conscious about what she is wearing. Whitney picked out all of her own school clothes this year because I know she loves shopping.

Day at the Zoo






Steve and I took the girls to the zoo on Monday. We hadn't taken them this summer and the weather was perfect. Last year we went on the hottest day of the year and melted. Abby was so amazed with the animals. She was so cute because she kept trying to talk to us about them. All I could understand was when she saw some birds she said, "quack, quack".

Welcome Home!

My little bro, Jordan, just returned from his mission in Manchester, England on August 13. It was great to see him back even though I know he really wanted to stay out there longer. He definitely looks older now and he speaks very proper English. Luckily, I believe the Davis fam can break him of that!

Frogs


We went to the Natural History Museum at the University of Utah last week with one of my friends and her 3 kids. They had a whole exhibit on frogs. The girls had so much fun. Belle loved to watch the frogs hop around in their aquariums and Whitney was fascinated by all the little frog facts. We later went upstairs to the small dinosaur exhibit and had the girls sit in a dinosaur foot print.
