School

Well scholl has finally started and I am so happy and so are the kids. Zack and Connor both get to go all day, but are at different schools, so timing the driving and drop off has been a challenge.

Zack 5th grade

Connor 1st grade
The week of school starting has been a busy one for us. It started last weekend when we went camping at fish lake and went to the Taylor reunion. The kids love going down to Loa and so do I. This year they got to ride a horse, go to the parade and do some fishing.

Marc caught the biggest.
Zack wasn't to sure if he wanted to ride the horse,but he did it for me and Brielle didn't want to get off.


while down there we went over to Fruita in Capitol Reef national park and picked peaches. That was a lot of fun.

Zack and Connor like getting to use the pickers to get the peaches off the tall trees.

We couldn't keep Brielle out of the trees. She thought it was great that she could pick peaches and climb trees at the same time.

Once we got back Zack had his birthday and Connor had his. Both the boys had back to school night on different nights and Connor got to take birthday treats on the first day of school.

Happy Birthday Zack

Happy Birthday Connor
For the boys birthdays we got them eletric scooters. They were so happy. We can keep them off of them now. They are the hit of the neighborhood. They were very suprised and happy.



I wonder if the kids are as tired as I am. I am glad it's the weekend, but the party doesn't stop.

Family

This past weekend all of Marc's brothers were able to get together. His one brother Joel lives in Washington and his other Brother Jonathan lives in St. George. They were able to all come here for a vacation at the same time. We thought it would be nice to do a family picture with all the brothers and their families since we hadn't had one in about 9 years. My friend Lori was so nice to come over and take our pictures for us. It was better then us rying to take it with a timer. They turned out so good. Thank you so much Lori.

All of Marc's brothers and their families.

The boys. They all play so good togther. They big boys love getting togther. To bad we don't get to see Trent very often.

The 3 princessess. They were so cute in their matching outfits. Brielle and Kestyn were almost like twins. From the back you couldn't tell who was who.

So BIG

Brielle was out side the other morning with her friend Adair from across the street, when adair told Brielle they should go ride bikes. Well adair just learned to ride her bike without training wheel, so Brielle tells me she wants hers off too. So I thought well let's give it a try. I padded her down knee pads, elbow pads, helmet, anything that could get hurt I covered up. I took the training wheels off and she was off. It only took her one time trying and she had it. She is still a little nervous about falling, but she could go and stop all by herself without any help. The first time I think I was more nervous about her falling then she was. She just took off and I kept running next to her with my arms out ready to catch her. I can not believe how big she is getting.
