Matt at the Homecoming Dance

Matt asked a girl named Carly from Weber High to the Homecoming dance. Brooke and I made dinner and served them which was way better than any restaraunt! Oh he doubled with his friend Robert and Carly's friend Rachel. They were very nice girls and they all looked like they had a good time! It was really fun for us to serve them!

Happy Birthday Porter!!!!!!!!

It was porter's

9th birthday! I can't believe he is so old! We just watched some home movies of him when he was almost 2. We would ask him his name and he would say " Porpie du bumbum!"

We had sloppy joe's for dinner and he wanted blueberry cheesecake for dessert. He got a pair of lacross gloves and balls from Jess, some bball shoes and a bball from his dad and Mandy, then he got a light sabor and football from Scott and me. And a bunch of candy and gum from the other kids. Spoiled! He deserves it!

I love you porter!

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?
