Paragonah!

We took the kids to Paragonah Res. for Labor Day. We went up Sunday Morning and stayed until Monday afternoon! It was so much fun. The weather was a whopping 76 degrees and the nights cooled off to the low 40's. What a treat! My parents use to have a cabin here, but they sold it years ago. Its a really neat out of the way place. For a holiday weekend, there was us and one other family.




Fishing was the Highlight of the trip! Autumn was so patient! Keith and I commented on how patient she was. The other kids would cast and reel, cast and reel. Auto just sat and waited!




Austin was the first to catch a fish! And a nice one at that! That got the juices flowing for everyone else! Crawdads(spelling??) was another hit for the boys. They caught a bunch of good size ones. They wanted to eat them but..... Mom doesn't know how to cook THAT!?!?!




Then there was the cleaning of the fish! EEEEWWW! GROSS! Austin and Tanner thought that was great! Keith was very very patient and taught Austin exactly how to do it with Austin's new pocket knife!








All in all is was a great trip!

Braces

Austin got braces today! The colors he decided were Pink and Black. Ha ha! Thats Aus. Straight teeth here we come! Before, waiting, and after!

Lake Powell

We are taking all the kids to lake powell in September. So Keith and I snuck away early and found a great place to camp. We fished and enjoyed the sights. ITS BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks Jud. He is the one who introduced us to LAKE POWELL!
For lunch we BBQ on a grill we bought last year. Keith used his "handyman" skills and put it together for us!

Football Season!

Austin is playing football! He is on the 6th grade tackle football team! Yeah Austin! He has practice 3 days a week and games 2 days a week! He does a great job! He can really run. Run Forest RUN!

Back To School...

Back To School already! I was so sad to see the kids go back to school. However they were so excited.
Austin is in 6th grade and is going to Sunrise Ridge Intermediate School. He was so excited and very nervous. He decided to ride the bus the first day "Pictures. Austin the first day in his new outfit. (notice the outfit and shoes) Austin with his BFF Michael. Austin going on the bus. (such a big boy). The big yellow bus. BYE BYE BUS!"
Austin you are the best! I love you!

Here's to a great year A-Team! Love you!!!

Auto gets Contacts!

Yeah Auto is going to try contacts. She has been in glasses since she was two. Oh how cute she is! We went to the eye doctor and she handled it like a pro! Its so fun to see her baby blues again. I've gotten so use to her in glasses I don't even think about it anymore. Now its so fun to see her eyes again.

Austin's 11th Birthday!

Austin is 11 years old! I can't Believe it! He was born at 1:20am so we stayed up until 1:20am to wish Austin Happy Birthday!I love you!

24th of July

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

We had a great 24th of July! It started with breakfast at the church, followed by water fun, and then the roadrunners baseball game. The boys got their faces signed by Reggie and Saturn. Jaret's a great friend of Austins. He came along for the fun! The evening ended with some really neat fireworks! Happy Pioneer Day!

Surfs Up!

My parents bought a new RV! They invited us to go to the ocean and spend a few days with them! We did and had a ball. The weather was beautiful, the ocean is amazing, and the kids had the time of their lives. They went on the skim board, boogie boards, and they learned to body surf, along with catching sand crabs. FUN FUN FUN. Thank you Nana and PoPo!
