Fall Camping at Palisades

We didn't get to go camping as much this year as we would like, especially at the end of the summer due to signing Mitch and Treyton up for football.  We decided to go somewhere close this last weekend and then come home for their football games on Saturday.  It worked out well, Reid and the boys went up on Thursday night and then the girls and I went up on Friday after school and met up with them.  We felt bad because we had planned to go with the William's family but they couldn't go because Reagan got very sick. (We really missed them and wished they could have made it.) But we ended up having a nice relaxing time camping, the kids had fun riding their dirt bikes.  Savanna and I read lots in our books and played some fun card games.  Reid worked his butt off the whole time like usual.  The weather was perfect and the mountains are so beautiful this time of year.

First Day of School 2014-2015

Summer went way to fast again this year.  But the kids were excited to go back to school.  We got them all a few new things to wear including new shoes.  This is the only year that all 4 of my kids will be at Summit Hills and at the same school.  I was a little sad this morning and shed a few tears dropping my baby off at kindergarten.  It seems quite strange.  Savanna is in 6th grade and got Ms. Johnson for a teacher,  Mitch is in 5th grade and got Ms. Ferguson, Treyton is in 2nd grade and got Mrs. Andrews, and Carolina is in Kindergarten with Ms. Austin.  Everyone came home excited after their first day of school and say that they like their teacher.  I hope that it continues!

My big kids were embarrassed and a little irritated that I was taking more pictures, but sorry they are stuck with me!






My little girl lining up for school!

Carolina at her desk at school, I asked her if she wanted me to come in to class and she told me no.  (too bad, I came anyway, but I didn't stay long.)  She is so independent!

Rexburg Rapids- trying to fit in all the fun!

The last week of August finally warmed up a little and we were able to squeeze in a trip to Rexburg Rapids, it was the only time we made it this summer.  It ended up being such a fun day.  We stayed all day and we all had a lot of fun.  Ben and Holli and their kids came and so did Ruth and Kent and their kids.  I love that our children love their cousins and that they are their best friends.
