First Day of School!

Today was Caden's 1st day of preschool. He is going to Happy Day Preschool the same preschool as he did last year, but he is in the 4 year old class this year and goes 4 days a week. He has a different teacher this year, Mrs. Johnson, who seems really nice. We were ten minutes early to school today because he just couldn't wait any longer.

Fun

We bought this swing set back in March but need to move some grass and rocks so the kids wouldn't hurt themselves. My Dad, Mom and nephew Jackson came down last week and helped us move the yard in, poor curbing, move rocks, and lay down 7 tons of sand. We did all this in 3 days and over 100 degree temperatures Everyone was troopers. It turned out really Great and looks so much better. Thanks guys for helping us get this done.


After we were all done. This kids have one huge sand box now.

JULY

We had a great JULY! Over the fourth we went up north and went to the Woodruff parade, maddie's {my niece) baptism and had my immediate family reunion. I forgot my camera that trip, of course!

The middle of the month Chad went to Canada on his annual fishing trip with his dad,uncles and some friends. While they were in Canada the boys and I went to Wyoming and had a blast.

This is Chad's monster king salmon he caught. He has been going for the past 9 years and this is the biggest fish he has ever caught up there. Look at that grin!

Proof of his 55 lb Fish. This sucker ways more than Caden!

This is a yellow eyed snapper he caught!

Chad with his 55 lb fish, his uncle Howard with his 45 lb fish, and his dad. Chad was so excited his fish was bigger.

While he was fishing we were playing as well. We went to my brothers house to see all of his animals.

We went to Star Valley Wyoming for my mom sides family reunion. I hadn't been for the past 10 years so it was fun to see everyone again. We camped for the weekend and had a blast.

This is everyone enjoying snow cones after the fish scramble on main street.

Caden, Ethan and Peyton with some of their 3rd cousins.

Peyton caught a fish at the fish scramble. They flooded a portion of main street in down town Afton and had fish for the kids to catch. There were a lot more kids than fish but Peyton was a good catch and got one.


On the 23rd was my Mom's birthday so we had a SURPRISE party for her with our family at a park. Hope you had a great birthday mom!
