Back to School

First day of school for these goofballs. 6th grade, 4th grade, 2nd grade, and Kindergarten. Wahoo!!! Good luck to their teachers.

Look Who's Turning 8

This little beauty is turning 8. She was excited to try her new dress and scriptures. I can't believe it's been 8 years since she brightened our lives.

Not to be forgotten in the photo shoot-my trusty assistant!

Where did those two years go?

This little beauty is two! I'm not quite sure how that's possible.  I blinked and two whole years passed by.  She really is a joy and a light in our lives.  Her siblings love her to pieces and she makes us laugh and smile every day.  Her latest accomplishments include singing 'Let it go', saying her own prayers, rearranging her siblings toys and belongings, and eating as many gross and inedible things as possible.  She keeps busy!  We love you little monkey!!!

Having Fun

This little booger and her goose eggs-Don't mind the photo bomber.

This is how we eat our ramen-down to the very last drop.

My handsome boys at the pinewood derby.

This guy has worked hard and earned his arrow of light.

Christmas Picture Outtakes

This is what I have to work with folks. It may be our last year for Christmas Cards.

Veteran's Day

Mona Elementary puts on a pretty good Veteran's Day program.

Did I mention we love our teacher this year.  This is just one of the many amazing things he does.

Labor Day Fun

We decided to take a last minute trip to Jackson Hole for Labor Day. Jeff and the kids have never been, I went when I was younger.  It is beautiful there.  It rained the first morning we were there.  This is the view out our hotel room.

This little turkey was a trooper.  There was lots of driving and sitting in the car and stroller.  She had fun though.

We hit lots of scenic sites, visitor's centers, museums, etc. 

The Tetons are gorgeous.

A man at the visitor's center told us where the buffalo hang out, so we went and got a front row view.

They came and drank right in front of our car and even crossed the road right in front of us.  The kids loved it.

We went to the Bar T-5 ranch for dinner.  You drive in covered wagons up the canyon and have dinner and a show in their pavilion.  It was fun.

Lots of napping in the car.  Doesn't look comfy to me, but she loved stretching out in this position.

We rode the Alpine slide and this was our view from the top. 

We looked for bears, but these are the only ones that we saw.

This guy had his birthday on our trip.  Everything we did or everywhere we went he would say it's 'for my birthday'.  Can't believe he's 9.

She doesn't go out in public very often (at least to eat) and this is why

Our ride home was extra long with construction delays, an accident, and this lovely fire by Deer Creek.  Someone remind me not to travel on Labor Day again next year.
