First Day of School

I can't believe that my little girl is in the first grade. It has been quite an adjustment and is a little harder for me than her. She is loving it and having such a good time every day. We are getting used to the new schedule and Brooklyn is enjoying the time without her more that I thought she would. By about 2:00 she is getting bored, but says "that things are better when Isabel is at school." I think this will change after a while, but we are so glad that she is loving school and know that it will be a great year and she will learn lots.

Tony Grove camping.

We were able to go camping last week for a few days at Tony Grove up logan canyon. It is one of my favorite places ever and we always have such a good time. Hunter was a lot of work this year and always so dirty, but the kids just loved it and it is always worth all the work. It is just such a beautiful place and we were able to share some great times with my family and my grandparents. It was wonderful and we can't wait till next year.

Brooklyn had a good time wearing my nephew Easton's bear hat. She loved to jump out and try to scare people. It was so cute and she would always say, "don't worry it is just me," just to make sure they weren't too scared.

Isabel had to try out the bear hat too.

Brooklyn on the hike

The hike was so relaxing for Hunter it put him right to sleep. He just loved hiking in the backpack.

Isabel and Parker waiting for the rest of the group on the hike.

The lake always look so amazing and is one of the prettiest places.

Their are always the most amazing flowers up there.

Isabel and her fish she caught. She came back so proud.

This is my leech bite. It got a lot more purple as the night went on, but is getting better now.

Boating at Utah Lake!

Over the weekend we were able to go with my wonderful sister in law Katie and her wonderful parents boating at Utah Lake. Her parents let us stay at their house on friday night and we went boating the next day. We had such a wonderful time and the kids had such a blast. I was a little worried about them having to wear life jackets all day on the boat, but they were very good and I couldn't have imagined the day going any better. We got to go wakeboarding and rode on the tube. Isabel loved the tube and I was so excited that I got up wakeboarding, even if I was only up for a few seconds. All in all it was so great and I really appreciate how wonderful Katie and her Parents are for letting us have so much fun and being so hospitable all weekend. They were great and the kids are already asking when we can go again!
