First day of school....

is finally here. I am very sad, and yet I am happy. Colton is in 9th grade and king of the school (or so he thinks), Kinz is in 6th and knows she is cool, and Jaycie is in 3rd. After a few tears over teachers and friends, our first day was a success.
Jeff took the 1st day of school pic since I had to be to work at 7. That is why each child does not have an individual picture. It is his first time, so don't blame him. He didn't know. I have since set him straight, but since he did everything else this morning I will forgive him. But next year they better have their own pictures.
Kinzie was okay with this though because she had to wear her "stupid, ugly, hot" student council shirt. That is why she is hiding in the back. But, her hair looks cute :)

Jaycie looking sweet and innocent. Kinzie happy to be hiding. And Colton in his "toned down" jeans. He also has blue that matches his shoe laces and red. Might have to do an 80's flashback post for those.

This summer...

We went to Lake Powell, camping, boating, and Lagoon,

We are sad the summer has ended. All in all we had a pretty good summer.

This is how we spent our 16th anniversary....

Camping with the family. Every year for the past 3-4 years we have spent our anniversaries camping with my family. This year was no different. We left on a Monday and went to Lodgpole with my mom, grandparents, Reed and Nat, and Jammie came and spent the night. I guess since they were all there on our wedding day, it wasn't to weird spending our anniversary with them.
Jeff bought me a camera for the big 16 so here are some fantastic pics of our week:


Hey there hottie.


Stailey had a ball. She was so dang dirty.


Reed feeding a pot-gut some breakfast. I can't believe how close he came.


This pot-gut was very friendly. We had pot guts and chipmunks coming right up to us.

Thanks honey for spending our anniversary with the family. I love you. Hopefully the niext 16 years will be as great as the last 16.

Happy Birthday Jen!!!!

You old bag! Happy Birthday to my baby sister who is now an old "bitty". She has finally reached the ripe old age of 30.
If only we could be young again. We were all a lot perkier back then.
Happy Birthday. Love Us.
