Last Day of School

June 8, 2010
Wow, where has the time gone. I had a tear in my eye as I watched Hailey leave school for the last time. She said goodbye to teachers, friends, safety patrol and staff. I was so impressed that her teacher thought she was so responsible that she got to take the flag down for the summer. Curtis worked hard this year and became my little young man. He was able to find discipline and will power. He made new friends and experienced many fun times.
Good Work Kids!

Congrats Hailey!

Hailey graduated from the 6th grade on Monday June 7th, 2010.
We are so proud of her and the choices she had made. She has become a great student and works hard at learning. We are impressed that she has made some life long friends. She has earned some great respect from her teachers and staff at the school. She was even honored by the Kwanis Club with an award.
Way to go Hailey!

Swimming

Our first swimming trip of the year and it is in July. (And it was still a little cool). We love that we have such great friends that invite us up to their parents pool. We get together as neighbors and have fun in the pool and treat on snow cones at the end. We have had a great time doing this. Thanks for a great time each year.

Cabin Trip

Just Two Weeks Later!

We spent four more days at the cabin in July. But this time we had all of Alyson's kids there. We had 10 adults and 11 kids at the cabin. We played in the water, sand, and cement (building a ramp for Aunt Barbara). We played games, watched movies and had a tether ball tournament (yeah, you read it right). What a fun time all together and for the cousins to all bond to one another. For days afterwards Jessica would ask "When is Eliza coming to play?" or "Can I go to Lacey's house?"

Capital Reef Vacation

This year one of our vacations was taken just one day after we came home from the cabin. We had enough time to unpack, wash, repack, do a little shopping, sleep and hop back into the car. The kids were troopers and loved getting away with the family.

We went to Capital Reef with Adam's aunt and uncle and there family. (Thanks Jeff and Jann)We always love to spend time with them and enjoy having our kids get to know the family. This year we did a drive through the park, did a little hike and let the kids play. We were only a little hot (being in July) but had a great camp sight with lots of shade.

Curtis even picked up his nickname from Jolynn, he is now called Toad around our house. And Jolynn's fiance (Justin) even made friends with our little Sophie, who was not so friendly (until the last day).

Thanks for the good times and great memories. Always worth it.

Some Cabin Fun...

This year we had a great summer at the cabin. This was our trip over the 4th of July. We worked on staining the deck, playing games, feeding horses, watching fireworks, enjoying the new outside, and enjoying one another. Thanks Alyson for the time at the cabin.

More School.....

Congrats Adam....He just finished his first semester in his graduate program. Way to go honey. We are so proud of him.He was able to pass both classes with A's.

Adam decided to go to throught the masters program with his brother Ken. They are both having a great time. Our kids love to see dad doing his homework. I only hope that the Fall semester runs just as smoothly.
