And the busyness begins!

I love the fall! This year it seems like everyday I have at least two extra things besides Preschool planned. Byron started Football, Ethan soccer, and Lilly dance/clogging/gymnastics-it's just a once a week class that the teacher teaches all three of those things. Our kids are having a blast and love to have something they do. It's nice that none of them have gotten in the way of the other. 

 I was at the grocery store the other day and couldn't resist these little angels! We have been open to the idea of getting kitties since our stray cat was killed by that stray dog that came in our neighborhood. The White and Black one is "Rio" and the striped one is "Silvia". They are so entertaining to watch and play with.

Felix and Midnight are not liking these two little new additions. They are jealous, but they also look so fun to chase. Whenever we take the kitties outside they are watched well, because they are both so tiny!

What a fun Spur of the moment weekend

Over Labor Day Weekend Wes learned that he didn't have to work on Monday. So, we decided to go up to Idaho for a long weekend with Wes's parents.

We brought our quads up and rode them a lot. We went swimming at "The Ledge", a favorite swimming hole the locals like to go to. We played games, rode horses, went to the park, ate good food, and enjoyed each other's company.

Here are some pics...
Can you tell I am a little camera happy?

Education Week

This is a picture of Uncle David holding Liz's dog Harvey. We were all laughing so hard! It was hilarious! 

Last week me and the kids went down to my sister Liz's house for education week. Every day we would trade off. I would watch Liz's kids and my kids in the morning and she would watch them in the afternoon. Our sister Sarah would come with me in the afternoon. Originally Liz was supposed to go with her sister in law, but she wasn't able to make it. :(
I learned so many inspirational things. Information I will be able to use throughout my life.
Our kids loved being together with their cousins. We did a lot of fun things like go to Seven Peaks, the movie, and Sushi.
We had such a blast and we are looking forward to next year!
I really grew closer to my nieces and nephews. They are sweet hearts.
Wes missed us a ton, but it's good for us to be apart from each other for a while. We appreciate each other more.
I would recommend BYU Education week to everyone.

Fun Weekend

The weekend before the fourth of July we went up to my parents house. We were able to go up to "The Ranch". A place I have visited a lot in my life. We hadn't been up there for years. It was such a great experience. My grandpa actually built the cabin before he died. That area up there has such a special feeling up there. My brother and his family were able to go up too. It was so fun! If you notice in the pictures, I am wearing my moms pants. We hadn't planned on going to the Ranch, so we weren't really prepared clothes wise. Ha ha.
That night we watched the fire works in a neighboring town. We parked in a neighborhood near by and the kids were able to have space to play. Oh, I love making memories.
