First Day of School!

Summer once again went by way too fast and it was time to get back to a routine and get the kids back in school. I always hate to see summer end but it is nice to get our life back in order and get us organized.

Brianna was excited this year because she doesn't have to take the bus. She is a junior in high school!

Heidi is a freshman in high school!

Mallory is in the 5th grade!

Caleb is in 2nd grade!

Jack is in his last year of preschool and loves to stay home with Mom!

Happy Birthday Brianna & Heidi

It was a big birthday for both Brianna & Heidi this year. Brianna turned 16 and was very disappointed when the DMV was not open on her birthday to go and get her license! She had to wait until Monday to go and get it. Heidi turned 14 and is now able to go to the church dances!

They love to share their birthdays!

Brianna got a ipod touch.

Heidi got an ihome for her ipod and then they both got rockband to share!

Sweet Sixteen Surprise Party!

We surprised Brianna with a party at Firehouse Pizza with some of her friends. Heidi helped me and we delivered all the invitations and made all the plans. She didn't have a clue we were doing anything until we pulled in the parking lot and she saw all her friends cars. She was really surprised we did this for her! Happy 16th Birthday Brianna!

We came back to our house to have cake and ice cream. After opening presents they spent the evening playing Rockband!

Craig & Christy's Wedding!

We spent the weekend in Salt Lake for Craig & Christy's wedding. It was a fun few days spent with the Robison family. Our kids had a great time running up and down the hall of the hotel from one room to the other with all their cousins. The wedding and reception were beautiful. Brianna & Heidi were able to go to the reception with us and they thought it was great. It was a wonderful dinner and then dancing afterwards. We are excited to welcome Christy into the Robison Family!

Brianna & Heidi were so embarrassed that they had to dance with their Dad! They kept telling us we don't know how to dance!

Brianna was the lucky one that caught the bouquet! I sure hope this doesn't mean that she is the next one to get married, Jon and I aren't ready for that yet!!

Our 1st Garden

We have had a fun summer watching our garden grow! We weren't sure what we would get from everything we planted, but we have had tons and tons of fruits and vegetables all summer. Some of our plants did better than others, but we feel pretty good for our 1st garden.

We canned a lot of dilly beans and pickles.

Jack loves to go to the garden and pick the carrots and just eat them!

Here we are shelling our peas to freeze for the winter. We missed most of our peas while we were in california but we were able to pick a few when we got home.
