Some Guys Have All the Fun...

For the past two weekends, Tad has been able to take each of our two older kids on an over-nighter. We decided that Kamden is old enough to test the hunting waters. He got to go dove hunting this year. Make next year he can go big game hunting, but this was plenty for the year. He did a lot of four-wheeling and even got to shoot some guns.

They would wear this on any given day if I would let them!

Our stake puts on a daddy-daughter camp-out every year. Cori was sick the day before this, but she was not about to let that stand in the way. Somehow she felt good enough to go camping. Here she is holding a caterpillar.

She was so happy to tell me all about fishing, eating at the Spring Chicken Inn, and sleeping in a tent.

First Day of School

It has been a long wait for Cori to start preschool. Kamden has been going for so long. The day finally came and she loved it!! She wasn't a bit nervous. Notice her friend Carter crying...he was not about to let his mom leave. I know Amber, you are going to love me for that picture!

Cori is so sweet. She is my easy-going, good natured child. She loves to share with others. She loves to have new friends and is so kind to everyone. Sure love ya Cor, I am so proud of you.

Just Because...

they're so dang cute!!!

I love these boys! They make me so happy.

The First Day of First Grade

Wahoo!! Kamden started first grade today. He was not a bit nervous, it was me that was biting my finger nails. He did so good and can't wait to go back tomorrow.

Our Two Week Summer

Kamden had two weeks off for summer vacation. Bummer Huh? But, we played every minute he had off and made the most of his two weeks. McCall (My youngest sister) got married so we had Jamie and her kids in town the entire time.
Just last weekend we went to Bear Lake with Tad's family and friends. We mostly 4-wheeled, but we were lucky enough to spend a day on the beach. We had such a fun time. Thanks Welch's, Reudter's, and especially Grandma and Grandpa.

Jamie, my mom, and I took a mini vacation with all seven kids to Salt Lake. Here we are at Discovery Gateway. Thanks mom, we had such a fun time.

And the most important part of the summer!! McCall's wedding!! Congratulations McCall and Brady. We love you both and McCall, you were such a beautiful bride. I think the prettiest I have ever seen.
