Back from Summer Break

We had a busy summer... I think we were gone more than we were home.  We were able to visit Idaho twice!!  As well as have some other very fun trips to other destinations. 

Here are a few photos...

San Francisco, CA with my mom and sisters, St. George, UT to see Footloose with my girls and dad, Vegas with dad, Branson, MO Silver Dollar City, and Vail, CO.   So that is one month worth of our Summer... I will be back with more!

Whitney's Haircut

Whitney is growing up... she looks so much more mature with her new haircut.  It is very cute and she is super excited about it.  We just thought we would share.

My kids would love to have a dog!

Unfortunately for them I will NOT get them a dog. But fortunately for them we have some good friends that raise cute little dogs.  My kids beg me to take them over to their home so that they can hold the dogs.  After one visit Mia went to school the next day, she came home and said, "mom, I was really good... I almost went to the counselor."

"Why would you go to the counselor?,"I asked her.

"Because of the dogs, mom.  I want one so bad."

So I am apparently causing all sorts of emotional damage because I will not get them a dog.

By far Jackson is the most taken with the dogs... he LOVES them... Here are some of my favorite photos of him with the dogs.

YAY! I get to blog again!

I am so spoiled!  I got a new toy... a new MacBook so that I can go park in random places in town (currently the Public Library) and post photos and just get to use this wonderful wireless connection.  Dial up was killing me... so it is a lifesaver.

Anyway... so much has happened.  So I will try to hit some highlights.

* The new house is wonderful and we love it.

* Hannah had her Twelfth birthday.  I cannot believe it.  She is a Young Woman!  She also took her first temple trip to St. Louis... and lucky me... I got to go with her.  (Love my calling!)

* We took a family trip to Disney World.

* The girls had a wonderful time at the very fancy Daddy- Daughter Ball.

* Uncle Phil was married to Aunt Amanda... so quick fun trip to Idaho.

* We have started all sorts of fun activities this year... soccer, dance, swim team, tech club, piano lessons... we have kept busy.

I am so excited to catch up... love you all!
