First Day of Kindergarten

Brynlee is at kindergarten. And I am home tearing up just a little bit.
So excited for her to experience new things.
So sad that I don't get to be with her.
So proud of what a sweet little girl she has become.
Missing the sweet little baby she was.

At least she gave me a big hug and said, "Its ok mom, I'll be home for lunch.  We'll still have lots of fun."



2nd day of school

And just as excited!


Taylee in 2nd Grade

Taylee is so excited to go back to school! She has Mrs. Murdoch this year. None of her close friends are in her class, but Taylee is excited to make new friends.


Trouble Trouble

My kids LOVE trouble! We play it nightly.  And it is intense. No one plays "nicely". It is an all out fight to the finish (parents included)!
Brynlee is our Queen of Sixes.

My Favorite Part of Lehi

It's Thanksgiving Point.  There is always something fun. There is always something new.  And it is so family friendly. 
I brought the two young ones down for $.50 ice cream and there is this new water toy in the middle of the square.
Pull a lever.  Water comes out of a different spicket. 
It looks like something from a Dr Seuss book. 
Yep. It's a huge hit with my kids.

McCall Trip

My sweet in-laws invited all of us to a cabin on the shores of Lake Cascade.  We have only been here 24 hrs and it has been heavenly! Our own beds.  A kitchen to cook in. A washer and dryer. 2 adoring grandparents.  And peace and quiet.  LOVE IT!!
Sean has had a blast with all the big kid toys. I had forgotten his love if 4-wheelers and dirt bikes......hmmmm....Christmas is only a few months away...
Here is an early morning ride between father and son.  Paxton has recently mastered the skill of "thumbs-up" and is VERY proud of it :)

Happy 4th of July

Excited to spend Independence Day in Idaho! Family, friends, and lots of BBQs.  Plus, Idaho Falls has the best celebration.  Small enough to keep it small-town, but big enough to be a ton of fun!
