Back 2 School

It's that time of year when the school shopping is done and summer vacation is over. I enjoy shopping but sad when summer is over.

On the first day of school it's always tradition to take pictures before the kids leave on the bus. Of course, anytime Kaiden gets his picture taken it's like pulling teeth and Skylee loves it! It amazes me how much they grow each year.

It was sad to send the kids out the door. Maycee and I stood on the porch and waved as the bus drove down the road.

This year Kaiden is in 10th grade and Skylee is in the big Jr. High as a 7th grader.

I hope they can learn and grow and build lasting memories throughout this school year!

2009-2010

The Birthday Girl!

Skylee has been planning for months to have a big...

" luau birthday party".
She is so fun, she gets so excited.
When the guests arrived, we had grass skirts and leis ready for them. We had big pink flowers for their hair we let them make.

They were all decked out for the party.

Skylee and Karlee.

Karlee told Skylee that this was the best birthday party she has ever had.

Thanks Kar!

Even Maycee got to dress up for the party!

Cute sisters!

Sarah hula dancing in the big pool!

Everyone's in the pools to cool down!

Playing games!

It was so hot!

I bet it was almost 100 degrees.

The party decorations!

If you notice, everything is pink and orange.

Skylee's favorite colors!

The drinks.

Snow cones... in a cup.

Hula dancer cupcakes.

The girls loved these!

Skylee's luau birthday party was so much fun!

Good times and great memories!

I can't believe my little girl is 12 years old and now in Young Women's. She is growing up too fast for me. I enjoy every minute with her. She brings so much joy and happiness to our family and she is a great example to everyone around her.

I love you sis! Happy birthday!

Pool Party!

Our ward pool party was so much fun. Our kids had a blast.

But it never fails when it's time for the pool party, here comes the bad weather.We still had fun and of course I had to bring my camera!!

Kason loved being in the water!

Despite how cold he was, he didn't want to get out of the pool.

Kaiden showed off all his tricks on the diving board.


Kaiden came over to the baby pool to play with his little brother.

Then he took Kason over to the big pool where he thought he could swim on his own!

Skylee played with Maycee in the baby pool.

What a good sister!

Maycee loved the pool! She was a little fish.

We couldn't take her out of the water without a fight.


I was almost as wet as Maycee in the baby pool.

Next time I will have to get my swimming suit on so I can play.

We had a great time at our ward pool party!

Swimming and catching up with friends.
