Avery's 1st Day of School

Yes...the day has come where my little baby is going to school. I knew it was coming, just not soo quick. She was more than ready and even got a rainbow sticker the 1st day...only 2 people got them the 1st day. Do I sound like a bragging mom or what ;) She gets to catch the bus on the corner of the street. Troy walks her to the bus and sees that she gets on. After 2 days, Avery asks if she can just go alone....i can't take it.....it's going by in a blink..she doesn't need me as much!! I am not the center of her world anymore......
It was my first day at Rocky Mountain High too!!! I will never open up a new school again!! It has been CRAZY!!!!! Please remind me of the craziness when another one opens up and I want a change!
Proud Papa!!
The whole family is there supporting her!!! She was ready to go!!
We only have 12 years left!!!

Bug Day

We loved our Bug Day at the Botanical Gardens! The Bug Obstacle Course

BUG DAY

The Botanical Garden has a fun Bug day for kids. We had soo much fun. We learned all about the world of bugs. Here is Avery trying to catch one. We put our bug in a jar and then they would tell us what it was...ours was a fly:) We could of just caught one in our house!
Marley is checking out a bed bug.....she loved all the stickers and stamps!
We even got to drink "bug juice"
We loved out blue tongues!

Troy's Biking Race

Troy has started to get into biking. His first race was 30 miles. He enjoyed it and did really good!! I think he needs a better outfit for racing....he needs to look for some sponsors :)
We are proud of you!
Throwing rocks while waiting for dad to come in!

O CANADA!

Yes we are alive!! I know that it has been soo long...we have had a wonderful and crazy summer!! It is amazing how fast time flies. I love my summers with the kids and just to have no schedule and be able to go where the day takes us...and sometimes that is absolutely nowhere:)

We loved out trip to Canada to see Troy's family...a lot of them had never seen Marley before...so it was a long time coming. We loved catching up and hanging out at the lake with no Tv or Computer access. Troy had to drive to find it so he could do a little work.

Marley loved Uncle Trent...we love our naps!

Marley and me in the boat......

It is such beautiful scenery and was soo nice to be able to take it all in!

Canada cont...

My little girls are lake rats....they loves swimming and being in the water....I on the other hand still think something is going to grab my legs or I will swim into something dead....I like the boat :)


We love Auntie Rochelle...
I think that is the wrong way....

Hogel Zoo

On our little vaca to Utah along with Lagoon you have to go the zoo. We had somehow hit it the first weekend of 100 degree weather. All the animals were inside like we all should of been. But we sweat it out and had fun looking at the animals.....we do not have the best zoo here in Boise. I think a lot of those animals were there when I was a kid!

Summer 08

Marley thought that she was one of the "big girls" at the Dance and Cheer Clinic and went out there and performed with them

Here we are at Lagoon....we had soo much fun!
