Jacob earned his wolf badge this last week in Cub Scouts. We are very proud of him and his hard work. He also earned 6 belt loops and 3 pins and 3 arrow points. He had a busy summer and finished a lot. Way to go Jacob.

Just more pictures of Jaimee birthday, no I didn't make the cake. Got to love costco.

Jaimee had a great day on wednesday, I can't believe that she is 11. She wanted to go bowling for her birthday and so after school we went to the new bowling alley by our house it was a lot of fun. You can program who get bumpers and they move up and down. Kolton did great and even had about 3 spares and kept saying he was the spare king. After we went out to dinner at Panda Express and the kids had a great time. It was a real busy day as Kadi had Mutal and an Ice Cream social at school. Ken also had to be at mutal that day so we invited our freinds over to have cake and ice cream at our house and so it was like a mini party. Jaimee got a caster board and was very happy. We will see how many accidents we have with this. I think she had a good day.

Well we are back in school. the kids are off to a great start. I can't believe that they are all gone all day long. Kadi is off to High school and Kolton off to all day Kindergarten. He was so excited to go off on the bus with the other kids, he has been waithing for this for 3 years. On the first day I wanted to take him to school and get him to his class and he wouldn't let me. He rode on the bus and is loving it. Jacob is excited because his best bud is in his class this year, and Jaimee is xcited that she is the oldest in the class in the school. We did get pictures of kadi because she started earlier and she was already gone. I will say that there were some tears shed but I won't say by who. I can't believe how quiet the house is. I have been kind of lazy and need to figure out what to do besides clean. Well see ya soon.

This is the river it provided many hours of entertainment.

One of our favorite things to do when we are in St. George is go to Pinevalley to cook out. It is in the mountains and the weather is perfect. We found a day camp right by the river it was a wonderful day. We had most of the family and were able to have a great visit. As you can see My sister Pam is expecting any time and we are very excited to have little Addison join our family. The two tall guys are my brothers Mike and Tracy. Kadi and Jaimee are with their cousin Hannah

On the 4th of July we went to Cedar City where they have a parade and then you can go to the park and have a mini carnival. My kids had never seen the parade and festivites so we went. They ate a ton of cotton candy and enjoyed the cool weather. I really enjoy going to Cedar as it brings back many wonderful memories. My kids like visiting with cousins and swimming at grandpa pool.

We had a great summer this year it was extremly(spelling) busy. In July we took off on a 2 week journey to Utah and then on a last minute decision we headed to California. This was on our way to Utah I was going up for my 20 year class reunion. We were lucky enough to travel up with some friends of our the Arnolds. It was a long day that was more trouble than I could imagine. First my friend missed her flight to Utah she was flying with her two younger children. After we went and pick them up it seemed that all was going well. We made it to Flagstaff and had lunch and continued on. On the way to Kanab the Arnold car topper started to have trouble. So we had to tie it down and that took a while. Then as we were heading up the 89 to Cedar my car broke down. We had to spend the night in Kanab. I finally made it down to cedar but that was the start of many car troubles. I was very thankful that wehad the Arnold as they saved me that day.
