back to school

My kids are growing like weeds!!!!
These cute sunflowers were kindof a random idea, we plucked them in some soil and they grew into these pretty little flowers.

Captian America and his Denver Broncos fan... all ready for 7th and 2nd grade.

I'm afraid my 2nd grader is soon going to over tower my darling 5th grader...

all of their main concern.... that they will find their classrooms. Sadie and Nick are starting in a brand new elementary school this year and Mason is all over the school for his classes.

I'm sure they are all doing great! As for those of us at home...well... back to the swing of things (laundry, cleaning, napping! life is good!)

Hot Diggity Dog

I sortof wish that we would have kept count over this summer of how many hot dogs these 2 have eaten. They could win a contest by now I think. Especially at this camping trip... I would guess about 10 were consumed!

...what can I say?
what's camping without a good old weiner!

Sad but true these are my only photo's of the Ford reunion. My camera died and we never did take another picture. A good time was had by all. I really wish I would have got some pictures of the lake and the little boys fishing. My Brother in Law carved mine and Jake's name in a tree, that would have been a good picture to have and lots of other memories. Oh well, they're tucked in the mind, like all memories are.

Summer's almost over! Sad to see it go!

Island Park/Yellowtone Trip

This was the "little piece of heaven" cabin as we affectionatly refer to it as...

pure fun and non-stop entertainment... the water was algea-awesome!!!!
This cutest boy ever turned 13!!

We are a happy family...

Aunt Lisa is the BEST!!!

I remembered my pills... so I wasn't a Grizzly Bear

...hence the happy family ;)

Grandma and Andy were using the buddy system on our little hike...

Fishing Bridge

The great valley

"you-fullo" as Andy called them...

rainy day... but we still had fun!

"the volcano" as Andy called it! (it was his favorite part)

He's always the closest to me... that's why he gets featured the most.

The traveling crew!

This was one of the funnest trips we have ever been on. Thanks to all for making it possible! Aunt Jill, Uncle Randy, and family. Lisa & family, Mom and Dad and everyone else who came along... wasn't it great? We LOVED it... in fact we're still on cloud 9!!
