First Day of School

Back to the old routine!!! Hurray!!! I don't like having the kids gone all day! but it's nice to have a regular bedtime and wakeup time! I got up at 5:30, got the kids up and 6. Loaded them ALL in the Suburban and around 7 and drove to Brigham. We dropped Brooke off first at the Middle School. I rolled down the window as she was leaving and we all yelled "goodbye Brooke! We love you!!!" she was so embarrassed--it was great! Then we drove to the High School and dropped Matt off. We did the same to him, but he yelled "Bye! I love you too!" (it takes a lot to embarrass him!) Then we drove to the intermediate school and dropped Jack off--I hate leaving them on the first day in the big school! We drove back to Bear River and dropped Porter off at the elementary. When we got home Heber asked if I could take him to school now--we'd just be a few min early. His first day of kindergarten--we still had to wait 3 more hours! Dave came and took him for his first day, Eli put his school clothes on and his backpack and was all ready to go with him--I felt so bad that he couldn't go, he was kinda sad! Also, Jess started college today. So I have kids in 5 different schools--wow!

bear naked, bear, bear, naked, bear naked lake!!!!

That's what my kids sing everytime we come over the top of the hill and see bear lake for the first time. Dave and Mandy took the kids up to Bear Lake for the week. Jess and I drove up Tues and came home Wed. It was so nice!

Happy Birthday Brookie!!!!! cont.

We found these cool bubbles that don't pop. They look like they are messy, but they just wipe off. Cool huh?

Happy Birthday Brookie!!!!!

Wow she's 14! She is so tall and beautiful--she's 5'11'' and doesn't dare measure again. I took her and her cousin Kelsey to the mall. We had so much fun! If that's possible at the mall! Brooke has such a cute personality! These are the clothes she picked out--not too many women, let alone teenagers could get away with this look, but she pulls it off beautifully--just like her sister! She has always had her own style!

July Ring(s) of the Month

These are a couple I got--one to wear on the fourth of July. I got them in SL when I went to the airport to pick up Scott. We were driving around trying to find a place to eat. I said "aren't we in West Valley?" He said yeah (he used to live there a LONG time ago) I said "Isn't this a scary place?" He laughed and said no. We went into the mall and were shopping for a while and he said "Do you notice something?" I said "what, that we are the only white people in here?" Things had really changed since he had been there. I was just glad that he is so big and strong!!!!
