HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Wow! Time flies when your having fun... We are staying extremely busy here. Last Sunday we blessed little Macy, she is such a good sweet baby, she is getting so big, so fast :( it's kind of sad, she is now 2 mos old. Gage is doing extremely well in school, he loves math, and going to recess to play with his friends. Broc loves going to his preschool on Tuesday's and Thursday's, and he even has a little girlfriend named Kate. Kory is still busy with work, and getting all of the finishing touches done in our basement(it is now pretty much finished). Me I am staying busy with baby, running kids to and from school, helping them do their homework, cleaning, laundry, and being secretary in the relief society and did I mention laundry! I'll try to post some new pictures soon. Hope everyone has a Wonderful Holiday Season!!
LOVE, The Heslop Family

Macy

Here are some more cute pictures of Macy when she was 9 days old

SHE'S HERE

Well it has been a good month since I last updated. Our newest family member Macy Jo Heslop (MJ) arrived on Oct 12, she weighed 7lb 13oz and was 20 1/2 in. She has lots of dark hair, is very awake and alert, Loves her brothers, and they cant get enough of her. She has been a great little girl, sleeping great at night (only wakes once at night). She has her daddy and brothers wrapped around her fingers!!

Back in the Swing of things

Well the first week of school is now over!! And we are looking forward to a fun school year. Gage Loves first grade and brags about eating lunch and 3 recesses. Broc Loves going to preschool and every day asks if today is a "Preschool Day".

This Labor Day weekend we went with the Heslop Clan up to Bear Lake. We actually camped up Bloomington canyon, the kids loved it and didnt want to come home, even though monday morning we woke up to snow falling!! It was the first time we had taken them to Minnetonka cave also, Gage thought that was fun, and learned a lot!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!

Well, We are still very busy trying to get the basement finished, and also the upstairs bathroom finished. The marble guys will be here tomorrow to put the shower back together, Hooray!! The basement is all sheet-rocked! Kory has hung all the interior doors, and has started on the trim! Hooray!! I have finished all the tile work!! Hooray!! Gage and Broc have been big helpers.

Gage went to back to school night on Tuesday, and met his first grade teacher, Mrs. Hibbert, He was and is really excited for first grade to start. He says he is looking forward to being able to use the first grade playground, and have lunch at school. Broc gets to meet his preschool teacher Kathy Powell at a party tomorrow and he is very excited to be going to school also. Well, hopefully things will start to slow down as soon as school starts.

Enjoy the rest of SUMMER!!!!

Time Flies!!

I cant believe it has been one month since my last post. Time flies when you are busy I guess. Well we got the sheetrock all done in the basement, and Grandpa Joe and I started on the tile today. Gage and Broc are excited to see the progress that is going on. The 24th of July we went to the parade, and then we went to Aunt Susans for a bbq and let the kids play. Gage and Broc were going to even sleep over in her yard by the fire-pit until Gage learned of the skunk that Susan has had in her yard... He changed his mind pretty quick. I have been reading "Where the Red Fern Grows" to gage and Broc this last month, and we are almost done with it, then they get to sleep over at Grandma Kathys and watch the movie. Kory and I got the upstairs bathroom put back together. Sorry no new pics this time, I'll add some later.

JULY 4TH

Well the basement is now ready for insulation and sheetrock. Kory has been busy this week, getting things done, and rebuilding the upstairs bathroom. On the 3rd we took the kids to see the movie "WALL-E" with Katie, Grandma Kathy, our friend T.A., and Grandpa Joe. It was a cute movie, the kids were glued to it.

On the 4th we went over to watck the Plain City parade, with everyone (Ryan, Amber, Averie, Hazle, Katie, Grandma Kathy, Grandpa Joe) . The kids got their year supply of candy once again. After the parade we were all invited to breakfast at Grandma and Grandpa Heslops. Then we went to the park to watch and play some games... Broc rode the mechanical bull and did it like the real "cowboys" do. Later that evening Mike, Tiff, Ryker, Kaden, Aspen, Katie, Grandpa Joe, Grandma Kathy, Grandma and Grandpa Heslop, and Nick all came over for shish-ka-bobs and salads. After dinner we did some fun fireworks for the kids, and watched the fireworks that Fremont does.

Busy Days!

Well, we have been really busy the past couple weeks. Kory has the plumbing finished in the basement, the electrical only needs 2 phone lines ran to be complete (so it's pretty much considered done). We have had some people come and run a chimney for a wood burning stove. We finally ripped out our master bathroom (due to water damage and mold under a leaky shower). And in the mean time Kory still found time to go help his dad haul hay during the week.

Katie had a few days off this last week and Gage, Broc, and I went swimming with her to Brigham City Pool, then Tuesday we went to Lagoon all day and Grandma Kathy came along. Gage was so brave this year he went on a lot of the big kid rides like the white rollercoaster, screamer, the spider, swings and colassus and wanted to ride them all again. Broc wanted to do all the ones Gage did, he was too little but we were able to take him on tidal wave and a lot of the little kid rides. We loved it! I'll try to post some pics later!!

Fathers Day

Fathers day was busy, we had lunch with Kory's family and then we had dinner with Grandpa Joe. The kids had lots of fun, and were wore out by the time we got home last night.

Not much else is new. Gage and Broc are still loving summer and being able to go out and play anytime they feel like it. Hopefully we'll get out and go swimming sometime soon! Kory is still working on getting the basement finished. He is almost done with the rough in electrical, and then it should only take a day for him and his friend T.A to get the plumbing done.

Fathers Day Starts!

On Sunday we went down to see Grandpa Reid for Fathers Day. We had a barbeque, and spent lots of time playing frisbee, and riding on the "Revolutionary" Ferris Wheel that he made.

This week Broc has finally given up the tricycle and started riding a bike with training wheels. He is so excited that he can finally ride a bike, he has been waking up at 6:30 every morning, getting himself dressed (with socks and shoes on) and coming in to wake me up so he can go out and ride his bike. Too bad the weather has not been very good the past week. It has been raining and a little on the colder side. This week doesn't look much better.

We are keeping busy here!

SUMMER!!

Well Gage finnished his first year of school ( Kindergarten) and loved every minute of it. He is glad summer is finally here and he can do some serious playing. He had been playing T-ball here on the Plain city rec team with some of his friends from school and also his cousin Ryker. Broc is busy doing what 3 year olds do, and trying to be like his big brother. Both of them are looking forward to all the fun summer activities.

This week Gage has had his first job. His Aunt Susan has asked him to water her plants, bring in mail and feed cats while they are on a week long vacation. He loves riding his bike so we have rode bikes to her house a few time do get the job done. It is about a 7.5 mile round trip ride. I pull Broc in the bike trailer, and they both think it is great fun.
