New Year New School

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

 

 This year Jon and I made the decision to send our kids to a private Christian School.

It has no more than 15 kids per classroom, they get to learn spanish and sign language and they keep God in the classroom.

 

They have to wear uniforms, which I have a hard time with since I LOVE to shop. I will have to look at it as less of a fight in the mornings!

 

 The kids were really excited to start this new adventure.

 

Hudson started 3rd Grade

 

 Grady started Kindergarten and this is a whole new thing for him.

Kindergarten is all day and it is going to be a great thing.

It is so weird that my baby is now going to school and is not so little anymore.

Had to get a picture with my big boys!

They are so handsome



Here is to a great school year!

Pine View 2012

Pine View is always my favorite trip. 

 

Lots of:

 Family

Friends

Food

Crafts 

Beachin'

&

Volleyball

 

It's so fun to have all of our kids running around having a great time together and I love to hang out on the beach for hours.

 

I would be able to take a gazillion babillion pictures but I only took a few.  Not everyone who was there will be in them but this is the gist of the trip:

 

This is my traditional pic I take as we are leaving

I celebrated my Birthday throughout the whole weekend!

Angi always has fun crafts and games for the kids to play 

 

The kids wanted to take the dogs on a walk all the time

There is never a shortage of dogs

 

This is my other traditional photo I like to get every year

Close to sunset with the lake in the background

Thanks to everyone for a great time and an awesome birthday!

I hope to see all of you there again next year!

2nd Annual Discovery Camp out

We went camping for the 2nd annual Discovery Christian Community Camp Out an had a blast.

 

The kids got muddy while playing on the beach

 

We got to ride wave runners and also have a girls cruise out on the relaxation station

 

 The kids got treat bags and rode their scooters and bikes around

 

We had church service on the beach with great worship time and hearing how Christ has done so much for people in their lives

 

It was a really good time with friends to have fun and fellowship

 

Can't wait until next year!!

 

Hernia

Jon noticed an unusual bulge on Grady which prompted us to take him to the Dr.  Sure enough we were old he had a hernia and we should schedule surgery.

 

I was happy to hear that they now have a Primary Children's Center at the Riverton hospital. We scheduled his surgery and spent the time leading up to it explaining what was going to happen.

 

He seemed to take the information in and when it came time to go to the hospital he was a real trooper.

 

 He got in his hospital jammies...

 

 They gave him some medicine to make him feel goofy and he started laughing at everything.  It was pretty funny!

 

 The surgery went very quickly and Primary Children's was so awesome to Grady and us.

He was pretty groggy after but after a root beer icee we were ready to go home. 

 

We thought he would be in pain and would want to lay around for the rest of the day but that was not so.  He was up and running around about a half hour after we returned home and he never once said it hurt, so he never needed pain meds.

It's crazy how resilient kids are.

 

He is all fixed up and doing great!

Hello Mountains!

We were finally able to head up to the mountains for a little R & R!

We took up some 4-wheelers and my parents mule and the boys had a great time riding them.

 And Hudson had an even better time driving!

My dad let him drive it almost everywhere. 

 The kids were able to do some fishing and look what they brought back to camp

 Then they were taught that if you catch them, you clean them.

They got right in there and got their hands very dirty!

 Hangin around the camp getting the much needed rest I needed

 We decided that we did not want to have to cook and clean so we headed to the East Canyon resort and ate at the cafe on the veranda!

I was so happy to be away from the city and all of the stresses of life.

I just love having the great outdoors so close to home!

Let Freedom Ring

I love me some 4th of July.  I love the food the family the friends and the FUN!

 Yes, I did have my boys in matching clothes and I will do that as long as I can get away with it!

 Little Miss Pipie pants was having a rough day but all I can do is squeeze this little girl!

Grady was having a little bit of a moody day

 We headed out to the front yard to do some fireworks in the street.

Piper loved to watch them

Our new house has the most AMAZING views of the whole valley.

You can see it from end to end!
