chloe graduated from preschool today. they were supposed to dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. first she said princess. i explained that we don't have them in our country and no royal bloodlines. then she wanted to be a pro snowboarder like torah. then she changed her mind to mom. so i put an apron on her(explaining that some moms cook a lot), a bandana for cleaning the house, and she carried baby. (don't send this to any feminists.)

she has one more year of preschool since she is an october birthday. next year she gets to go 3 times a week. people always say that its hard sending your kid to kindergarten. i really can't imagine feeling anything more than excited.

Happy Birthday Stella Bella

we celebrated stella's bday while we were in st. george (so we could have people to celebrate with). we had pizza and cake at sam's house with all the cousins.

she kept blowing on the same side she dipped in the bubbles.

ethan (rachel's), ella (nate's), griffin (sam's)-i guess that's how he smiles, and stella. she loves to dress up.

now that she is two and about to be a big sister, we will start transitioning her into a "big girl". (i can't believe she will only be my baby for 3 more months.) we'll take away the pacifier, move her to a toddler bed and potty train her. i wish she could be a baby a little longer. she's been so easy, i hope being a big girl doesn't ruin her.

Triathlon

this isn't about chloe and stella but i figure those who care to read about them might be interested in these people too.

dan and ben and drake did a triathlon in st. george. ben got 1st in his age group, dan got 3rd in his, and drake got 2nd. ben also got a faster time than dan. dan thinks he might have swam an extra lap and ben probably swam one less. the announcer couldn't pronounce LaRiviere when she was giving ben his medal. after trying (and failing) she said, "from france!" we assumed it was because she recognized the name as french but dan realized later it was probably from the speedo he wore.

before the race. dan isn't as cut as ben but look how skinny he's gotten.

after the race with their medals
