First Day of School!

I can't believe we are already starting school again.

My bigger 4th Grader.

My big 2nd Grader!!!

Fishing!

We took the kids fishing one evening at a little pond in Herriman. Garrett had the perfect spot in mind and so when we got there he got all ready to fish. He is an impatient fisherman. If he doesn't catch something in a few minutes he will reel in his line and cast again. (But really... who's not like that?)

Here is a picture of his "Prize Winner" It might not be very big but it was the biggest caught out of the 2 kids.

The funniest thing was he decided he wanted to change spots so he reeled in his line and was getting ready to move and he slipped in the water. It came up to his chest and he yells "MOM" and I look over and went to help him out. The look on his face was "Priceless" but I put my camera down to help him out of the water. I wish I would of snapped a picture then helped him out. I know... I know... Mean Mom.

My little princess loves to fish. She was even touching the worms. (yuck!) She was casting her line out and waiting a few but then her and daddy noticed that their were a whole bunch of little fish right along the side of the pond. So she reeled in her line and fished from the side. She ended up catching 9 little fish.

I love this picture of her and daddy fishing. They were both having so much fun.

Then there is poor Grandpa Ed. He keep casting his line into the trees.

Summer Fun!

Here is just some of the things we did this Summer...

We went up to Mill Creek Canyon for a picnic on Sunday afternoon. The weather was great. It was the perfect temperature. We had a great time visiting with family.

My Boys

Katelyn and Afton

Garrett

Erin cracks me up!

Ziva, Bijoux and Nick had a great time playing together.

We got a visit from Amy and her family. It was a lot of fun seeing them. It's weird with her living in Hawaii because now we can't talk every day like we use to. But the kids were all excited to see each other and in 4 months all the kids have sure grown up.

We went to Montana this Summer for my Grandpa's memorial. He passed away in May and since my dad's family gets together every year on the 4th of July weekend they thought that would be a great time to celebrate my Grandpa's life. The kids were excited to go but it was a 9 hour drive. They did awesome on the drive up. We only had a few fights over what movie to watch and playing DS games.

This was James's favorite part of the whole trip. And he even got to see it twice.

The hardest part about our little trip to Montana was there was absolutely NOTHING to do. The mosquitos were so bad you couldn't just hang out outside. There was a small park but it only had "Baby" things there and sitting in your motel room was just boring. So Sunday we took a little drive with Grandpa Dan and he was showing us all the 3 things there were in White Sulpher Springs... We ended up going into this Castle that was up on the hill. It was interesting and something to do but the guy who took us around the Castle just keep rambling about the guy who built it.

All we were missing is Amy

It was a quick trip. We went up on Saturday morning and left Monday morning. But I'm glad we went for my dad and to celebrate my Grandpa's life.

They got their summer hair do's. Garrett cut his so short but loved it because he didn't have to fix it. It just stayed the same way. We added some red color in Katelyn's hair but it was nice because it washed out in 5 washes. So by time she was sick of it... It was gone.

This was their summer attire. They were always wearing their swimming suits.

We went to the Zoo to see the Dinosaurs. It is amazing what people can do. The work into these things were amazing. I loved the ones that sprayed the kids with water. It was great. We went to the Zoo with my friend Jen and her 2 boys. We had a great time.

We also went swimming at Classic Skating. It was great because it wasn't to crowded and it was small enough the kids were out on their own. They loved going down the slides but it took a few to want to go down fast. It was a fun day!

Katelyn got her skirt from Aunt Amy for her Birthday. She loves it...

Here is why there is never any pictures of me. This is what I'm always doing.
(Thanks to Katelyn for taking the picture.)

Last Day of School.
