Kenna

Once in awhile this sporty girl likes to dress up!

Life is like a bowl of chocolate...

that you find on the counter when mommy wasn't looking.




Colby found some chocolate pudding and couldn't resist.

Back to School

The girls started back to school on Tuesday. Kenna is an 8th grader and Tae is in 4th. Tae was way excited to go back. Kenna, well.... just look at her shirt. It's true a picture is worth a 1000 words. She looks happy because these pictures were taken after school. Although she did come home happy and exctied to tell us all about her day. The only part she doesn't like about school is the homework and there was no homework that day.

Princess/Prince Party

Colby went to Jaeda's Princess/Prince birthday party from his nursery class at church. I don't know if you can tell what prince he is???? Jaeda is in the first picture with the yellow fabric. They had an hour of music time at Kindermusik. Colby loved it and Tae joined in.

Rigby Lake

Fun times with cousins. Went to the lake while visiting family in Idaho Falls.

New Kitchen

Last week we painted our kitchen. We still need to paint the cupboards and door white and then put in a Backsplash. We also put in a food storage pantry. We still aren't sure if we will sale our house or just stay here awhile. We keep going back and forth. A couple of weeks ago we put another bid on a foreclosure home. We came in 2nd out of 8 bids. Maybe we are just suppose to stay where we are for now. We still have a lot of projects to do on our home.

Keeko and Ella

2 new members of our family. The girls have asked us for pets for a long time. We finally gave in and got a couple of fish a few years back that lasted a week. Then they wanted turtles. We said Maybe but it never happened. They really want a dog, but Scott is allergic to all animals with fur. So we told them when we get a different house with a fence, we will probably get a dog. Two weeks ago the pet subject came up again. Our friends have 6 hamsters and so the girls asked if they could get two hamsters. Scott and I talked about it and came up with a plan. We told the girls they had to research about Hamsters, write a report about what they learned and then share with us what they learned. We also had questions they had to find out for us. They also had to come up with a plan on how they would earn money to pay us back for them. They read a lot about Hamsters and came up with a power point presentation that they gave to us. So on July 4th we went to the pet shop to price out items and ended up coming home with two new Hamsters. Keeko is Kenna's boy hamster and Tae has Ella, the girl hamster.The Hamsters have to live upstairs so they aren't causing Scott breathing problems. Week one has been great.

What Time is it?????

Summer time!! Schoos out, scream and shout. Hooray!!! I love summer time. Less meetings, homework, driving the kids to school, activities..etc. McKenna finished 7th grade and had a pretty good year. She ended the quarter with straight A's. She has worked hard. She deserves a break.
