10 years...

Yes, that's right....10 years. Seems like quite an accomplishment these days. I don't normally gush over how lucky I am to have this man for my husband...I [deservingly] so...am going to do that today. Yep, every 10 years I have given myself the right to talk about how lucky I am. I get nothing but love and support from him. I am so thankful to be his wife. Love you!

"2nd grade....

ROCKS". This is a direct quote from Ms. Jordyn. She started school Aug. 20th. She loves her teacher. She was excited to see all her friends again. This is a proud mommy story: First off...everyday before she leaves for school we talk about respect and kindness. ALWAYS respect your teacher and ALWAYS be kind to everyone. I always tell her "make a new friend today". Now, to the story. She came home from the 1st day of school and said that there were a few new girls in her class.

ME: "Did you introduce yourself"?

JORDYN: "Yep, I had my eye on them all day. I asked them to play with me and my friends. Not one time did they ever look sad".

See what I mean....proud!

Now...to the outfit. Little Ms. is quite independent when it comes to picking out her clothes. This particular outfit came with glooves/sleeves...whatever you call them. Daddy wasn't so sure about them.

Kacie is looking forward to another year of preschool. She starts next week.

Jordy and Gizmo...the neighbor dog.

Of course...

you're making soup.

and...

Kacie, most definately, was not taking dirt from the corner of the neighbors yard.

Nope. I didn't see it.



Of course...the soup needed some color!

This meal required a hose down when they were done.

In loving memory....

of "Froggy". He lost his life [somewhat expectedly] in his yard surrounded by kids that pet too hard and......

family.

These kids...

make it all worth it! As many of you know...Amy and I are the best of friends and we are so lucky that our kids are so close and have the opportunity to grow up together. They love each other so much....99% of the time. I can't say it enough...these two girls....love them so much!

How did I get so lucky to have such a handsome nephew?

and a beautiful niece!

Make that...2 nephews!

Put them all together and this is what it usually looks like....craziness

Grandpa & Grandma...

came to visit from Arizona. We have such a great time with them when they are home. We will miss them so much when they leave.

Made our annual trip to the VF with Bob's mom and dad earlier this week. Jordy lead the way....
1st stop...tattoos! Jordyn has a love for peace signs.

Little Miss found a cute baby devil that she liked.

Rats! Not quite tall enough for that ride.

The "mild thing" was one of the favorites this year.

They loved thunder canyon. They thought it was the funniest when daddy came off that ride the most wet!
