First Day of Kindergarten!

Tatum officially started her first day of Kindergarten!  It was a fun day.....Mommy & Daddy got to stay in her classroom for part of the morning and learn what she was going to do this year.  After a sweet goodbye, Tatum was on her own for the rest of the morning!  Then her and Mommy got to go on a lunch date :-)  The day ended with a special dinner and ice cream at Orange Leaf!  Then off to bed for another full day at school!  Hard to believe she will not be home.....Talia and Mommy are going to be lost without her tomorrow!  Tatum, though, will be having fun!

 First Day!  August 24, 2011  Mrs. Westberg is her teacher - she is super excited!

Last week at her doctor appointment she was 4' 2" - before Kindergarten even started! 

Mommy & Daddy are sad to have to her grow up :-( 

 Loves to Grandma Barth

Loves to Mommy! 

Loves to Talia (Taizley was still in bed)! 

Talia just looks like trouble - even first thing in the morning :-) 

Tatum & Kade 

Tatum's desk in her classroom!  So fun - can't wait for all your exciting adventures!

Wedding Count Down!

In order to get ready for the big wedding this weekend (my baby brother, Josh's), mommy painted the girls fingers & toes with the new Justin Bieber purple sparkle polish!  It was the first time Taizley got to have her toenails painted....with 2 other girls, she was lucky I even got to hers :-)  Excited for the weekend!

Happy Mimi Day!

It had been 8 years since Mark's mother (Mimi - as the grandkids called her) passed away.  We now celebrate the day with all of Mimi's favorite things!  We went to church, the park, 2 swimming pools, got ice cream & caramel apples, and ended the day with a thin crust pepperoni pizza at Pizza Hut!  We miss you Mimi!!!

Thank you Kelsie :-) 

The girls spent that night and all the next day on the slide until the rental company came back to get it!

Movie Night

Jen (Jake's wife) has been here since begining of July so we have gotten to spend alot of time with them.  We will be sad when they leave next week :-(  These are a few pictures of the kids one evening for movie night.

Buddies Talia and Mason - we think they could pass for twins!

(Max was there too, but he had a wreck on his roller skates and was not too excited for a picture)

KSU Birthday Party

Cousins Evie and Owen had their 9th and 5th KSU birthday parties at gymnastics!  Willie the Wildcat came to see everyone.  All the Barth cousins were there except for Fiona (Josh's little girl who is Taizley's age).  Lots of cake and alot of fun!

This was the best picture I got of everyone :-)  Too many little bodies!  Brandi's little boy Cooper (on the very left)was in the picture....otherwise all Barth family except for Fiona (and Jason & Jenee are due this week)!  So I guess missing 2 from this picture! 

Taizley could not stop looking at Willie!

Favorite Summer Pictures

Here are a few random pictures from some of our summertime fun!  Hard to believe summer is over in a few weeks and we will have a school schedule!!  Tindalls are in for a RUDE awakening!

Taizley's Baby Dedication

Taizley was dedicated on July 10, 2011.  We love you Taizley Ella Tindall!



Here Comes the Tooth Fairy

Biggest news of the summer - Tatum lost her first tooth!  It was loose for a few weeks and lost it while she was boating in Arkansas :-)  It made mommy so sad!  She seems way too grown up - lost a tooth and starting kindergarten in a few weeks!  Too much for mommy to take :-(  She still has one more that is loose and will be out soon too!



Arkansas 2011

We just got back from our annual Tindall family trip in Hot Springs Village, Arkansas!  It was super hot that week - up to 112 degrees (the day we left the thermometer read 116)!  We spent most of the time in the water and had a blast!  Everyone tubed (including Taizley) and we all did alot of water skiing!  Even Tatum tried to ski - she got up for just a quick bit before falling :-)  Glad she tried - Mark and I love to ski and want our girls to enjoy it as much as we do!  Fun times!
