First Day of School

The first day of school was on August 19Th. I was not ready to send my kids back to school. I felt like we did not have enough time together. Taylor is a sophomore this year. I can't believe he is getting so old. Garrett is going into the 8Th grade. He is getting so tall. Tanner is going into the 5Th grade he has Mr. Bailey this year as a teacher. He was scared at first, but he really likes him. Lindsey has Mrs. Rupper, she was sad that Elli and Kyler were not in her class. She is making friends. Bryce my baby ( he hates it when I call him that. He lost his first tooth and said know you can't call me your baby anymore.) is going to first grade he has Miss Dooley. I do not know how Kanyon and Bryce ended up in the same class but they did. I did the kissing hands with him before school. Tanner and Lindsey said I can remember when mom did that for me. They said Bryce that really helps. He made it through his first day and loves it. All my kids have seemed to enjoy school so far. Thanks to all the teachers for there time and dedication they give to my children.

Park City

On August 17TH we went to Park City to do a little over nighter with the kids. Westgate resort kept bugging us to come to one of there little spills they would give us a free night stay and fifty dollars. We had to be to the meeting at noon the kids played basketball and we did the tour. I was not impressed the rooms were really tiny. We did the spill then we had 2 hours until we could check in. We went for a little drive and the little kids were dying to go swimming. We were able to check in at 4:00. We were in the room for only a few min. and the kids were in swimming suits and were ready to go. They swam for 5 hours. They loved it. They were in heaven. The next morning they got up early to go swimming before we checked out. They had a lot of fun swimming. I just relaxed. Gary swam with them. I had left my suit on the back of the couch. I had fun watching them. They are great kids.

Girls Camp

This year I went to camp on a stake level. They had a camp committee of four people Myself, Leslie Hindes, Melanie Kunz, Trisha Ringger. They are a great bunch of ladies and I love them and have a great new friendship with them. Our theme for camp was super hero's. We wanted the girls to learn that they were all super hero's and that the greatest Super Hero is are Savior. We had a lot of fun. The 13Th ward was a lot of fun they kept putting nerds in our beds. So we would pick them all up and return them to their beds. I had a lot of fun with the 8Th ward joking around and laughing. The 3rd ward was awesome of course and were great at there acts of kindness and for doing my hair( Addie & Becca). I had a lot of fun with my photo shoot with the 15Th ward. I would dress up in red skirt and red boots, mask, and super man shirt and go out and do the caught being Super Award. All the wards were great. I could go on and on about all of the them.

This is what happens to your hair when you let Becca and Addie do your hair. This is not a wig. Bryce tried to pull it off but it is the real thing. The stake YW President is Colleen Wilson, first counselor Amber Bascom, second counselor Lori Hansen, Sec. Katrina Davenport. They are great ladies and they love each one of these girls and they worry about everyone of them.

July 24th

I have not posted for awhile, so I am going to try and catch up. On the Weekend of the 24Th we went Jet skiing and camping to Mona Reservoir. We had a great time. The kids played in the water and had a great time. On Friday night you could see the fireworks from Levan. IT started to rain really hard and we did not have the rain guard on so Gary had to put it on and the rest of us ran to the suburban to stay dry poor him no one stayed to help him. On Saturday Gary's cousin Allen and his wife and there four boys came down. (poor Lindsey we are going to have to let her bring a friend). Bryce and Hugh would set and make songs up. they set for over an hour just singing. Garrett and Sam had a blast taking the Jet ski's out by there selves. Tanner and Lindsey had fun in the water and riding in the tube and on the Jet ski's. Taylor loved that he had one all to himself. Allen and his Family left after dinner. We decided to stay one more night. We were able to see the Mona fireworks. We then tried to go to bed. But the other families that were camping down there stayed up and partied until 3:00 a.m. in the morning they were not quite at all. They had there music up full blast. They kept screaming don't drink the whiskey save it for the last. They drove us crazy. some of my kids were so tired they slept right through it. Then a horrible wind came through and knocked are shade tent into the tent we were sleeping in so Gary once again had to get up and take care of everything that we had outside. The next morning we got up early to come home. I told my kids to be as loud as they wanted to.(maybe the drunks would realize how loud they were.) All in all we had a great time.
