First Day of School

 Daxter didn't like being woken up so early.

 Lance is in 10th grade.

 I think they get cuter every year!!!!

 Jes is in 7th Grade.

 Lucas is in 6th Grade.

Fishing Trip

 Kerry, Lance, Jared and Cade went on a fun trip.  They took 4 wheelers up to a base camp.  They hiked from the base camp to several lakes.  Kerry caught 12 fish and Lance caught 9.  It was a good experience for them.

Scout Camp

 This was for Lance's Wilderness Survival Badge.

 He was pretty proud because he was the leader of the group on this project.  I love how Lance's self confidence has grown this year.  His personality has really grown into a leader and not a follower.  

When Lance came back from this scout camp three different leaders came up to us (people we didn't know).  They told us that Lance was so respectful, hard working and well behaved.  They said he was welcome to come with Garrett anytime.  I am really proud of the young man Lance is.  

Lance's Self-Portrait

 I am loving his hair.  Michelle is a pro!!!

  He is growing up so fast.  He has his learners permit.  He has been driving the truck around with me.  I am enjoying the time with him.  It makes me sad to think he will be graduated in 3 years. We are trying to enjoy and soak up every moment with him.   

Yellowstone

 Lance loves hiking, fishing, hunting and outdoors.  I think Yellowstone is one of his favorite places.

 Love all these girls!!!

 These kids had a blast....Yellowstone, Island Park, Boating, Swimming, 4 Wheeling, Campfire and Family Games.  Such a fun group.

Kerry and I are so lucky to have these great kids.  They are so easy and fun to be around.  They treat each other so well.

 Janelle and Jeanne

 Jason and Josh...always a hoot!!

 Jessica always the caregiver.

 Not even a little rain could spoil the fun.

Great girls!!!

Kaman Campout

 This year we had to go to a new camp spot.  Last year during the wildfires our old site was near the burn, so there are flood warnings.  We went to Strawberry and rented a pontoon boat.  It was a blast and a great change.  (Lance, Dakota, Jes, Jen, Izzy, Paul and Ty)

We love our Kaman family.  We have so many good friends that we have known for years.  

 Kerry has worked for Kaman 18 1/2 years now.  He is such a good husband.  He always does his best to make every trip fun for us.  I love him so much.  I am thankful for him everyday.  I enjoy his company and miss him when I am away from him.

 Jessica is the kindest girl I know.  When we were all cleaning up at the end of the boat trip she was giving a 6th Grade girl we were with Lance's coat.  I was like she doesn't want that.  What are you doing?  She looked at me all serious and said she has to take it.  I finally clued in that the girl had peed her pants.  The girl put the coat around her and no one was the wiser.  I am always impressed by how kind Jessica is.  She not only noticed someone needed help, but took initiative to help.  She is so thoughtful.  She includes others and really thinks about how they feel.

 Lucas got hurt very badly.  He was running and playing and gashed up his knee.  It is going to be a big scar, but he was a trooper.  

 It was a good camping trip.  Lucas was very helpful in cleaning up, setting up and getting the trailer packed. He is always so helpful and easy to work with.  

Lance also impressed me this trip.  We were hiking down to the lake and he helped me through the brush and carried everything.  When we got to the boat he got out my fishing gear and got it set up for me.  He is becoming such a gentleman.

Catching Lizards

Glider ride in Heber

 They tow you up and let you go.  The glider doesn't have an engine....hence the name glider.  It was pretty fun.

Chandler's Graduation

 Chandler is the oldest of the grandkids on my side of the family.  We are missing Ashley and Jackson in this pic.  These kids are so close.  My kids love getting together with them.  Chandler graduated from Lehi High.  It was a fun day.

Lance really looks up to Chandler.  They get along very well and love to hang out.

Last Day of School

 Sixth Grade Graduation Day

 We are going to miss having the best teacher ever....Mrs. Manzione.

Mariah

I know have a kid at every school next year.  It is going to be an interesting year.  Mrs. Young is retiring and Lucas only has one more year in Stansbury Park Elementary.  He has Mrs. Riddle next year.  We are very excited about that.
