Best Wishes

Today I found rice all over my Laundry room. So I would like to wish the happy couple who got married in my laundry congrats and may there marriage be full of love and 3 year olds. I believe that is what must have happened, I don't have a child that would throw rice all over my laundry room or do I.

1st and 4th

Matt started 1st grade this year which means my helper is gone all day I don't know what I will do. It has taken us most of the summer to try to get her to understand that she will be gone all day just like the older 2. Matt is our little sweet heart and piece maker I am sure going to miss her. Good luck in first Grade Matt

As for Abb, she missed the first day of school she got strep throat she was very upset and very sick. Abb loves loves loves school she loves learning new things no matter what it is.
Abb is becoming quite the young lady and helper around the house. Good luck Abb in 4th grade.

Middle School

Middle School is where we dropped our oldest off this morning (Yes I cried). I feel old, sad, but most of all I am very proud of HIM and the young man he is turning into. He jumped out of the van with a smile and walked in with excitement. We have had a lot of nerves about going to middle school but after the back to school day yesterday those nerves turned to excitement.

Wow the Fair

Picture over load. We had fun at the fair and the kids enjoyed showing and baking items for the fair. They won lots and are making plans for next year.

First up is our chickens which are new to the farm family this year and have done rather well. They are just starting to lay eggs which has been fun for the kids. They all won blue ribbons and Wy's chicken took Reserve Chicken which was fun.

Family Fun

the Family


Have to get pennies out of the nylons

Catching gummy worms with a pretzel

We went to a McBride Family Reunion up in Prove we ate lunch and played some minute to win it games we were going to go swimming at the veterans pool but the weather turned windy and cold so we just enjoyed visiting and playing games in the park. We had a lot of fun and love spending time with family.

Flash Back of July

4th of July Parade was nice and cool and fun being with friends.

After the Parade we went fishing in fish lake with Granny and Papa and Uncle Bronson and Aunt Tara which was a lot more fun than being at the Park with 5 kids.

ALL -STAR BASEBALL

Wy made the All-Star team in baseball this summer and had a blast. He has improved so much in hitting if we could just get rid of the nerves he would be even better. Ab is his biggest fan but we all enjoy watching a good game of baseball.

The rest of the month was filled with trips to St.George, Vernal for Baseball, Mom and Dad getting a 2 night get away to Vegas that Steven won at work. More camping and Fishing in Fish lake. My Dad rented a boat and the kids loved fishing from the boat they caught 19 or 20 fish and they were excited. Thanks mom and dad for everything.

For some odd reason I thought summer was for doing nothing BOY was I mistaken. I feel like we have always had something we needed to be to or doing. I guess I am just suppose to learn to love life as it happens.

Sorry not a lot of pictures.

Relaxing

My mom and I went to St. George a couple of weeks ago and just played and relaxed it was so much fun. We took the kids to a splash pad and yes we looked like first timers cuz we didn't put there swim suits on but I don't care they had fun we enjoyed just watching them play so it was a hit for everyone. Thanks mom
