Wallis Family Weekend

We spent the weekend at a cabin in Pinto with the Wallis family. We had such a good time. We hung out on the porch while the kids ran free. They loved all of the animals. They even found 4 horny toads. We did s'mores, played games, arts and crafts, and went swimming in a little water hole. I, of course, had to take some pics of Elizabeth. Such a fun weekend.

10 year old

It took me a little longer that normal to get G's 10 year old pics. He was always so busy with friends, it was back to school time, not to mention my hectic schedule. Anyway, I finally got some. He is so HANDSOME!! I just love those freckles!

Anniversay #17

I can't believe we have been married 17 years. It's totally crazy. Saturday was our anniversay. Didn't think too much of it. Colby and I went out when he was here on leave the week before. So, since he's overseas, I was shocked when these arrived today!! I love them! They are so beautful and some of my most favorite flowers, and what fun colors. Colby, you did well. I love them, and I love you. too! Happy Anniversary to you, too!!

Pine Valley

Sunday, I took the kids up to Pine Valley for a nice relaxing afternoon. We just chilled out, played games, ate snacks, played in the creek, and took pics. It was a nice little break from the everyday.

And They're off!

Kaden 10th Grade

Rileigh 8th Grade

Garrett 4th Grade, Mrs. Bryner

Carly 1st Grade, Mrs. Borop

All 4 of them are in school all day. It's crazy! It makes me feel old. Oh well, I guess all I can do is enjoy!

Hallies' 4

Happy Birthday Hallie! You are a doll!

G is 10!

I can't believe that Garrett is 10 years old! Crazy. We celebrated his birthday today. He was up bright and early wanting to open his presents.

He had a water war party. They had all kinds of water guns, bombs, and squirters. The loved the big rafts. The party had to be moved indoors on account of the rain.

He had a Halo birthday cake. Happy Birthday G! We love you.

Fun at the City Pool

Mom rents the city pool for a back to school faculty party most years. Carly went of the diving board like 49 times, and Garrett and Branson went down the hydrotube that many times or more. Rileigh spent a lot of time shooting hoops in the water. Kaden showed up in time for Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches. What a fun night. Thanks Mom.

Heroes & Villiams

This summer, Rileigh went to a theater class called Kids on stage. They did the play Sat. and Mon. It was little bits of Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Aladdin, & Beauty and the Beast. It was so fun to watch. She did a great job, and loved every minute of it. I wish I had her confidence. I was always so shy when I was her age.
