First Day of School

They were excited for school. For the first week I am doing building my plan for PE and helping fill in for recess duty. It was way fun to be with my kids at recess. It made me miss Lance since he is at Clarke Johnsen Jr. High.

Jessica is in 4th grade almost 10 yrs old. She has Ms. Takos.

Lucas is in 3rd grade 9 yrs old in December. He has Mrs. England. They both liked their teachers so far.

Lance is in 7th Grade. He is 12 yrs old. Remember when you had to remind your boys about hygiene. Just shows Lance is growing up because the night before Jr. High he showered, q-tipped the ears, major brushed and whitened his teeth, trimmed finger and toenails, waxed the monobrow, shaved his lip fuzz, moisturized and begged me at 9:30 to cut his hair. Then he had to try on a couple of different clothes and get that figured out. Lance never used to care about any of it. Go Figure!!!

Cecret Lake

This is some of the trail we hiked up.

It was really windy at the lake.

Babysitting

We babysat Dylan and Jaxson. The picture of Jaxson didn't work, but these pics were just too precious not to post. They were the cutest best behaved boys. The kids asked Jaxson what his dads name was and he said Babe, but I call him dad. I miss my kids at 3 years old. It is such a fun age.

Tracy's Party

Brady and Lance have caught 27 frogs and put them in the pond. They are showing Jaxson one they caught.

I am gonna miss Tracy so much. She is a good friend. She is so much fun to be around. I have learned a lot from her.

Everyone brought treats. We had a good time. Everyone was so supportive. Tracy moved to Florida. All of these girls are such sweethearts and have so much to add everywhere they go. We have some fabulous ladies in this area.

Green River Rafting Trip

We went for a hike to the overlook.

The river was amazing we saw so many fish. It was so beautiful and relaxing.

We stopped on the side and had lunch.

Rebecca

We had so much fun with Ron and Rebecca. They were the best and made the trip so fun. We can't wait to go again.

I didn't take enough pictures there were more people I didn't get pictures of . We had a blast.

Tracy's New Baby

Grace Helen Ladle

My friend Tracy had her baby. She has adopted two children and has never been able to give birth to a baby until this little miracle. She is 4lbs 11oz and 19 inches. We are so excited for her. She is in very good health even though Tracy was on bed rest 10 days before. Gracie came 3 weeks early and ended up being a C-section. She even has Tracy's nose....so cute. Way to go Tracy!!!!

5K

Amber and I after the run. All sweaty and gross, but we had a blast. Amber is such a good motivator. We started at the Energy Solutions Arena and ended at Liberty Park. It went somewhat on the parade route. I ran it in under 30 minutes. Not very fast, but in my defense the first part wasn't blocked off and we had to wait a bit for traffic lights. We are doing the Thanksgiving Point 10k in October. Then the April 1/2 Marathon. If the 1/2 doesn't kill me then I would like to do a Marathon. I am not sure that is even possible, but it is good to have a goal.

July Happenings

I went with my Mom to the Paul McCartney Concert. It was great. It was the best when he played the Beatles Music instead of his own. He didn't miss a beat. I think he is 68 years old. He still looked good and sounded great. I was really impressed.

Very full sold out crowd.

We went to my Aunt Raylene's Cabin for the 4th of July. It is so cute she has it decorated with really cool antiques. Here is Carolyn and I roasting marshmallows in the rain. It didn't start that way.

Carolyn and Raylene

Playing Horseshoes.

So Handsome

We love 4 wheelers

We hate Cougars. Not all of us it seems. Uncle Lawrence.

Lucas took this picture and my Dad was teasing him. My Dad is 6'4", I guess that is what he looks like from Lucas' perspective.

Too Cool.

Lucas and I have been dabbling in gardening.

Here he is taking a picture of his hard work.

Daxter--It is so rare when you can get them to look at the camera.

We went to Middle Canyon for a picnic and a walk. It is so fun to go somewhere so close and so beautiful.

How cute is this picture. It is so fun how Kerry is with the kids.

Lucas loves to take pictures....this one is a little close. Gecko Boy.
