| The kids competed in the all-county swim meet which was fun to watch. |
 |
| Last day of summer break |
 |
| Meet the teacher night. I can't believe this little girl is in Kindergarten! |
 |
| ...and this kid is in middle school. He had 2 first days because they had a half day transition day for 6th graders. |
 |
| They are all loving school :) |
 |
| I had a little emotional breakdown in the morning but I held it together for the most part |
 |
| I started my new preschool year and I love hanging out with these cute kiddos! |
 |
| Andrew started tackle football. He loves it! |
 |
| visiting Eliza at lunch |
 |
| Eliza had some friends over and I love that they were playing preschool :) |
 |
| Daniel's parents bought a motor home which we've been grateful to be able to use. We went on a quick trip one weekend to the Lake of the Ozarks. |
 |
| Andrew loves this game- its called Kuub I think. |
 |
| Eliza is in floaties here but she has since learned to swim! |
 |
| We love playing board games on Sundays |
 |
| The girls delivered treats to the neighbors |
 |
| He finally lost his first tooth! |
 |
| Grandpa came to visit- yay! |
 |
| The kids each got to spend a day at home with grandpa and the girls each picked a preschool day so they could also help with preschool. |
 |
| Happy 12th birthday Andrew! He is such an amazing kid. I'm so grateful for his hard work and love for life. We are so grateful for him! |
 |
| oops...we didn't have any candles for the yummy triple layer cake Daniel made |
 |
| Hannah, Eliza, and Hannah's friends did a little fashion show and put nametags on the chairs so we could watch. I thought it was cute that for the grandpas she labeled them mom's side grandpa and dad's side grandpa :). |
 |
| A very special day with the grandpa's and the bishop there also...Andrew received the priesthood. |
 |
| Hannah's turn to help at preschool- she was a huge help! |
 |
| She planned the art project herself |
 |
| Making applesauce with grandma Sue's applesauce masher |
 |
| I just told them they are going to have another baby cousin- they are so excited that there will be 2 new baby cousins at next year's cousin camp! |
 |
| Making dessert with grandpa |
 |
| Its fun to watch Andrew play, although it does make me a little nervous |
 |
| He wanted to make s'mores rice krispies when it was his turn for family home evening dessert. |
 |
| Hannah loves playing Harry Potter clue |
 |
| A fun day at the zoo with friends |
 |
| He had an awesome game! |
 |
| The neighbor shared birthday cake and ice cream with us one night |
 |
| Hopper |
 |
| Notice the crutches...he didn't get hurt playing football but he hurt his foot playing a game on the trampoline with a friend. Hes ok but has to take it easy while it heals. |
 |
| Fun with friends |
 |
| She caught a toad |
 |
| The Fall flowers at the temple were so beautiful! |
 |
| We found turtles on the trail at the park |
