Back to School....

So everyone else is doing it, I guess I should too! Peer pressures not always a bad thing right?!

Lacey is going into the 5th Grade!

Alivia is headed to the 3rd Grade!

Joshua is ready to conquer Kindergarten!!

All three had a hard time going to bed last night, but I have a feeling that tonight will be much easier!!

And here we have Kaleb and Daddy ready to tackle Football season!! :-)

And there is no picture of Mommy - just picture a quiet, peaceful, happy place and you'll get the idea!:-)

End of Summer Fun

Kaleb has decided that he wants to feed himself. It's a very messy learning process!

He was very proud of his efforts!!

We also went on our annual summer camping trip this past week. Lucky for us, it turned out to be the night of the first Freeze!!! However, we all survived and everyone had a great time!

The men gathering fire wood!:-)

The kids had a great time"hiking" around the campsite. Fortunately, we didn't encounter any lions, tigers or bears! We did have either a skunk or raccoon come into camp in the middle of the night and help themselves to our garbage and the spilled bag of candy Josh left.

This has definitely been the longest, short summer in history! I don't think we got around to doing everything we had planned this summer, but it was still a fun-filled time! :-)

Alivia's Baptism

Saturday was a very exciting one for Alivia and our family. Alivia was able to be baptized with 6 other kids from our ward!

We were lucky enough to have a lot of family and friends share her special day with us.

Congratulations Livey! We are so proud of you!!

Afterwards, a few of us had some fun at the local Ammon Days! :-)

Good times had by all!!

Mountain River Ranch

Scott and I decided to have a Whole Day Date. Well, most of the day anyway...

First, we had lunch at Taco Time. Exciting I know! The kids don't like it, so we never get to go there.

Then, we drove up to Heise to play a round of golf. The course was luckily a Par 3 one, so I didn't suck too bad.It was really hot, but a lot of fun! Scott even birdied the last hole and got a round of applause from nearby spectators!!

Next, we drove around Targhee National Forest scouting out future camp sites. There was some beautiful country up there, but I think we'll have to go on a week day so it's not so crowded.

Finally, we were off to the Mountain River Ranch. They put on a old-fashioned Wild West Shoot Out. Then you get to ride in wagons to a barn where they feed you yummy food and put on a little variety show. It was a lot of fun! We even got to dance in a conga line!

The music and singing was definitely better than the comedy...

It was an expensive venture, but definitely worth the trip!
