First Day for Nat!

We had a real staggered start this year. Nat finally started a couple weeks after the rest! She is headed to 8th grade! I have more pictures of her. I don't know what happened. I will have to add them later.

"The Canyon" 2011

Here is my beautiful Natalie sitting by the water at Mill Creek Canyon. We used to go up with my family a couple times a summer to barbecue and enjoy the nature. We have all been so busy we didn't even go last year.

That had to be remedied. These two cuties are at an age where an evening in the canyon is an amazing adventure!

Hallie takes credit for the evening. She wanted to go for her birthday. We all agreed it was a good idea!

Here is trouble. See those cute flip flops? They were sacrificed to the creek. At least is was just a flip flop that was lost in the water and not a cute child!

We had a great time waiting for everyone else to come.

Jane, Ann, and Laurie relaxing. Jean was with the kids by the water. We were joined for dinner by Shane, Dana, Russell, Aiden, Eliza, Jack, Reed and Linda. We need to do it more often. I am always ready for a banana boat!

Jace's Goes to Elementary School!

Jace started kindergarten this year. He had to wait a week longer than the girls to start and it almost killed him. He was so excited to get started and to show his teacher that he "already knows everything."

My camera was doing weird things, so sorry for the fuzzy pic. You can still see that he is super handsome!

First Day of School

Hallie is headed to 6th grade! She is so ready to rule the school!

Take note of the matching shirt, bag, and flip-flops! She was so stylin' with all her Aeropostale gear!

Here is my darling Abbie getting ready for second grade. I guess I didn't download her picture holding up her two fingers, but I have it somewhere. . .   She was excited for school too and I think she looks like a doll!

Showing off the new backpacks! I will only get one every other year, so they get pretty excited for something new!

After school they were excited for First Day Doughnuts! 

Yum!
