First Day Of School

OK so it was Mikayla and Jordans 2nd day but I forgot the camera yesterday. Mikayla was mortified that I wanted to take a picture and we were a little late today so the older two ran off to get in line but poor little Brinley looked so sad and scared. I really had a hard time leaving her! I just wanted to bring her back home and never make her go back! I don't know who's gonna miss her more, me or Saddie. We're already going through Brinley withdrawals and it's only been a few hours. I think I'm really going to have a hard time next year when saddie starts!

This was the best smile she could muster up.

I know she's going to love it and love making new friends. She's so social and happy all the time. I just miss her!

24TH FUN....

Nicole and Matt invited us camping for the weekend. Unfortunately we weren't able to camp but we headed up on the 24th to spend the day. We had so much fun and wished we had brought the tent to stay overnight. They found a great spot up American Fork canyon near Cascade Springs. We all had so much fun four wheeling and playing in the water. Nicole made a yummy dinner and then after dark we took the four wheelers up a dirt road that overlooked Deer Creek and we watched a great fire work show! We had so much fun! It was my first time "really" driving the four wheeler and it was so addictive!

Wheeler Farm

I met my mom and 3 sisters and all the kids down at the farm today. It was so so hot but the kids seemed to enjoy it and they of course loved all being together! The geese there loved to be fed and even let the kids pet them.

We walked over the bridge and the kids found a fun tree to climb. Some were Very good climbers and others, well, lets just say it took a lot of coaxing from us moms to get them all up there for a picture!

This is all the clan except for one, Kaitlyn had her feelings hurt somewhere along the way and the babies we couldn't get up so we pushed a table under the tree for them to sit on.

I can't believe my kids start school in a few days! It'll be nice to have all of Sept. off and maybe it won't be so hot! We've had a busy few weeks and have had lots of FUN!!!!

We have loved spending a lot of our time this short summer at the Daybreak Lake up the road. It has been a great place to just relax and let the kids play. I'm guessing with how popular it is it's not gonna stay clean for too long. Especially with there being no bathrooms anywhere nearby. We hope it won't get too trashed cause it's so much fun!!!

Draper Days...

Last weekend Nicole and Matt invited our family up to Matt's parent's for a Bar-b-q then to Draper fire works. We had a great time and Jason has fun learning how to use some new settings on our camera.
