Back to School!

Ethan and Kate - first day of kindergarten with Mrs. Walker

 Ethan and Kate were so excited to start Kindergarten!  And, best news was their cousin Jackson would be in their class!

Justin started 6th grade and is glad this is his last year at Shelley Elementary :)

Emily and Savanah started 8th grade, much easier this year at Jr High now that they have that first year behind them!

 Justin - first day of 6th grade with Mr. Engles

Emily and Savanah

Kate's 5th Birthday!

Hard to believe our baby is 5!!!  Kate had a great birthday, but I think this is the last year we can sneak by without a friend party :)  She chose to have dinner and games at Chuck E Cheese this year.

Bear Lake

 Emily and Savanah had their annual Bear Lake trip with Grace and Estelle.  This time they were gone 4 night, 5 days!  They had a great time and are counting down to next year!

Soccer!

All the kids started fall Soccer and are loving it! 

La Roca

Again no pictures!  We had an opportunity to get Justin on a competition soccer team (La Roca) this fall.  It was going to be a major commitment, and he decided to do it!  With our money paid, which was non refundable we held our breath the first few months while Justin got adjusted to his new soccer life.  This team/coach was a huge step up from where Justin was playing before and there was a lot required!  We have watched Justin improve dramatically!  He loves his team, his coach, practices and games.  And soccer has turned into a year round event for Justin which is even better.  So glad he took the leap and is loving soccer so much!

Eden

Grandmummy is so nice every year to let us use her week time share in Eden.  Unfortunately we never can stay the whole week, but it makes for a fun weekend!  This year we stopped at the Train Museum in Ogden on our way.  The kids loved climbing on all the huge trains in the yard and we decided to go through the indoor museums, they were all interesting!

We also decided this year to rent a jet ski and spend the day at Pineview Reservoir, which is in Eden.  It was so much fun - the kids (and parents) loved it!  We can't wait to go back next year!
