1st Day of School

He's a big 1st Grader now. I'm having a hard time thinking of him being gone all day long. I hope it gets easier! This little boy is a shining star! We sure love him!

She is unbelievably going into 5th Grade. I am feeling so old and so sad that she is growing up so fast. She got contacts and it made her look at least a year older! She's beautiful and we love her too!

Gage is going to preschool next week so I will make sure to put a picture of him on here too! He's so excited!

Happy Birthday again...... @ Grandma & Grandpa's House.

Mike took the boys to Pima and so they could attend Brock's Baptism on Carter's Birthday. It was not very fun for me. I wanted to have him here, but Katlyn had her final swim meet and so we had to let the boys go...........
Grandma and Grandpa did an awesome job making him feel like his day was very special! Thanks you guys!
Love you Carter! Can't believe you are 7 already!

Swim Team 2010

Katlyn decided to do swim team this year and even though it was super grueling she did an awesome job. We are so proud of her. By the end of the season she had beaten most of her times by at least 25 seconds. We can't wait for next year!

Doesn't she look dang cute? I wish I could be like her........

24th Celebration

Pretty pathetic that these are the only two pictures that I have of the 24th. It was a pretty crazy weekend. Mike had to do fire training and so I was solo with the kids. We did have fun though. When Mike got home Friday night we went with John and Debbie, Brett and Angela and Kylie and Andrew to dinner. It was slow, but delicious! Then, Mike and I stopped by our 10 year reunion for a bit. I really didn't know many people but it was still fun. Crazy how much we actually all still look the same! After that we had the pleasure of chaperoning the youth dance. It was so funny to see how the kids interact now. Nobody was dancing! They were all just standing around in their groups! It took them a good 2 hours to warm up to each other. We had a fun time just watching them all. Saturday we did the parade and the craft fair. It was humid as all get out, but the kids still had fun. Carter and Gage bought these bad boys with their money they had saved. They LOVE them. Well worth the $7.50!

Mike and I decided to try out the rodeo Sat. night when he got home, and we loved it! I can't believe we have never gone! We will for sure be taking our kids next year. The fire works were great too. It made for a great Pioneer Days!

They were all pretty good at waiting for their turn on the zipline.

Everyone getting their fill of the pinata.

This boy is all boy and has no fear. He just took off and never looked back!

And this boy had a little infatuation with Katlyn. She was loving it too!

Gage taking a turn trying to bust it open and get some candy!

It was a good time and very relaxing! Thanks John and Debbie!

Family Reunion~ Heber 2010

For the reunion this year John and Debbie rented a cabin in Heber for us all to hang out in. It was really fun to hang out with everyone. The kids loved the zip line. Carter had to conquer his fear of heights, but once he did there was no stopping him!

Here's Gavin taking a whack at the pinata!

We all hung out on the porch a lot eating snow cones, cotton candy and otter pops. Who needs more than that?

All the kids with Grandma and Grandpa. Katlyn is the oldest and there are 18 kids so we have A LOT of little ones.

Katlyn spent a lot of time on the zip line too.

Ride 'em Cowboy!

Mike's friend Milo has a few minature horses at his house and one unexpectedly had a baby a few weeks ago! I don't know how I missed taking a picture of the baby but it was so dang cute! No joke that thing barely came up to Gavin's waist!

These two were loving riding. Next time Milo says he will hook up his cart and let them do that. He's such a nice guy! I think we need one of these~
