BYU Football...

Matt and Henry went to the BYU football game on Saturday.  Cousins and Uncles from all over the state joined in the fun!

They had such a fun day!  Thanks to uncle Thaynan for inviting everyone!

Nothing like Jell-O...

Last Sunday  Keeley made Jell-O for dinner.  She thought that it would be a great idea to mix flavors like they do for Kool Aid.  Well, we ended up with LEMON, LIME, and STRAWBERRY mixed together.  Now normally you need 6 cups of water to make that much Jell-O.  Keeley thought she knew what to do, having seen mommy make it before.  All three boxes were made with about 2 1/4 cups.  We had FIRM Jell-O.

New photos...

I'm so excited.  We had my cousin's friend take photos of us in Utah and the CD with the photos came today.  Take a look.

What a day!

The girls walked home from school their first day of school.  The kids and I were picking weeds outside as we waited for them.  Aubrie ran the last bit to get home to us.  She was very excited and told me all about her day.

Keeley, on the other hand, had a hard day.  She was exhausted from lack of sleep and the adrenaline surges all day.  She crashed onto the lawn and dragged herself over to us.  She told us how bad the day was and that she felt yucky all day.  Poor girl.  DSC03323

Every day on the first day of school we make a bus cake.  A tradition passed on to us from Matt's sister Suzie.  Thanks Suzie!  The kids are always so excited to see what the bus looks like every year.  This year Aubrie requested a flat front bus, "Because, you know mom, busses these days are flat on the front."  Keeley was so exhausted that she wouldn't even smile for the 'bus cake pictures'.  DSC03316 DSC03317 DSC03318 DSC03324 DSC03325

Henry's first day...

Today he's off to school. He has been asking me for three months "How many days until school starts."

He woke up at 6:15 this morning got dressed in his new clothes and shoes. He was so excited to put on his new underwear after his bath last night. He assisted me in making lunches. He ate toast, raisin bran and breakfast cake for breakfast. I guess he wanted to make sure that he wouldn't starve.

He wanted to ride the bus with the girls for his first day. So he had to wear his bus tag. DSC03333

Here he is at school.

We could hardly get him to slow down and wait for us.

Here he is at his table. Ready to get started.DSC03335

Now I just hope that I'm ready for him to be gone all day...

off to school we go...

Today is the girl's first day of school. What a doozy. Keeley was so excited she made herself sick. She also didn't sleep well last night making a great combo. Aubrie wanted to know if she looked more grown up. She does. Here's a candid look at this morning.

Kind of cold today... it may rain.


Yes, a fight on the front porch is a necessity of every first day of school.

Aubrie is so excited for fifth grade!
Happy Day!
Freezing and so happy. My favorites this morning.
Aubrie's first day of school with her new contacts in too.
This is how Keeley wants her kids to remember her. Silly girl.
