Dog Show

Michael and Cliff do a demostration every year at the park. Here is a video of their event this year! He had a little mishap with his door opener, got it fixed though! It is always enjoyable and Cliff always amazes us! Fun! Fun!

School News

Once again these kids amaze us!!! Last school year Abby was voted to be the student council president for this year. This year Kailee was selected to be a 4th grade class representative!! So they are both on student council this year! THEN.... all the student council members vote for a vice president (a 4th grader, since the president is a 5th grader) and guess what! KAILEE WON!! So we have have the President and Vice President!!!!!!!!! It should be interesting!!! They are both very excited and think it is funny!! They are so cute!! What fun we are having! Cole is LOVING school!! So things are going great for them!

On September 11th, the school did a flag raising little ceremony to honor the day. Abby got to be the one to raise the flag. Here are some pictures of her!

Birthday Boy!

Star Wars was the theme this year.....Cole turned 6!
He had a pool party with his friends from church and some family came for the day to celebrate! It was pretty hot, but the kids stayed cool in the pool or on the water slide! I think most of the parents watched from inside!! He's already lost 3 teeth and is certainly growing up! No more babies around here! (if you click on the photo you can see it up close)

1st day of Kindergarten!!

Last week Cole started Kindergarten!! He is loving it! The girls are in 4th & 5th grade. They look so grown up at school, since they are the Older ones there now! I can't believe that ALL of our kids are in school!! It is kind of sad for mom & dad, but we are very pleased that everyone is doing well and loving it! Wow how time flys! Abby is the Student Council President this year, and Kailee is hoping to join student council this year also!

Going to the Game!

We took the kids to watch the Cubs play! Cole has become a very big fan watching the Cubs play baseball with Daddy! So, Michael bought tickets for all of us to go watch them play the Diamondbacks in Phx. We all had new Cubs shirts to wear for the game! Unfortunately the Cubs lost, but we enjoyed the time together and Grandma & Grandpa came to root for the other team! The kids had so much fun at the ball field and the atmosphere there!

Time Flys When We're Having Fun!

Our Summer has been so fun and so busy! We've been visiting with lots of family and enjoyed every minute of it! We've hardly been home this summer!! I didn't take very many pictures, so our summer slide show isn't very long! We went camping a few times, once in the white mountains along the black river. It was awesome, we camp right on the river and had such great weather! The fishing is so nice, the kids have become great fishermen..and fishergirls! Our evening camp fires were memorable and of course had the usual marshmallow fights, the kids LOVE THAT! We also camped in Williams and enjoyed a little rain one day!! A family from Havasu joined us there and brought a dirt bike, my kids had never rode one, but soon got the hang of it! Had a great time!! We enjoyed some visits with the cousins, wish we had more time together! The kids enjoy each other so much!!
