Caden's Football Shots...Finally

He had so much fun this year playing football.
He was so sad to see the season end.
He says he's really looking forward to next season!





Puerto Rico

Mark and I went to Puerto Rico for a week with Dan and Monique. Dan is Mark's business partner. We had so much fun! We went to the El Yunque National Rain Forest, visited Fort San Felipe del Morro and The Castillo de San Cristobal in San Juan, snorkeled and explored the island. One night we kayaked out to Luminescent Bay where the water glows green because of the microscopic living organisms that glow whenever they are touched. That was cool! Went to the water park and ate yummy (and not so yummy) food. We didn't eat any where that we recognized. We all wanted to try the local food. Most of it was delicious!! Some, not so much. It was such a fun and relaxing trip. We had a great time!






The Boys First Day of School

I know I am way behind here, but here are pictures of the kids the first day of school. Caden started 6th grade. Jace started 2nd grade. And Jackson started Kindergarten. I can't BELIEVE how big my boys are! Jackson started Kindergarten!! And Caden goes to Jr. High next year. Yikes!!!

Labor Day








We went with Joe's family up to the Strawberry River to fish. It was so beautiful! We caught a few fish and just enjoyed the day. It was so relaxing. The kids adopted a couple water snakes for the day...that was fun! Jace was the first one to catch a fish. He was pretty proud of himself.

GO KNIGHTS!!

Football practice started last week. This is his first year playing, and Caden is loving it! Practice is tough and I think he is feeling it. He took a couple of good hits, but he was able to give out what he got! He's got great coaches who put in a lot of time for the boys. This is going to be a fun season!
Yeah, that's Caden on the bottom, getting pounded!
But he got him back!

Summer Fun!

I can't believe how fast this summer has flown by! I feel like everything has been chaotic and wonderful and crazy and fun all at the same time!

I could go into detail, but I won't, so here's our summer in a nutshell (there are even a few pictures!!):

We moved back up north and we are near family again, yeah!

Blake moved out!

We went to Disney world with Casey, Kim & Gage and my parents!

I had a paradigm shift!

I got to see my Mission President and Mission Mom!

Jace had his 7th birthday!

We went to the Oquirhh Mountain Temple Open House!

Mark graduated from High School!

We went to Bear Lake and stayed in a cabin for the 4th of July Weekend!

Jackson got a black eye, ugh!

Jenn's kids stayed with us for a couple of days!

Jackson got two stitches in his chin!

Spent the day with Petrina, Austin, Kyle and Collin!

Jackson go his stitches removed, thanks to Uncle Casey!

Mark had a birthday!

I took the kids to Idaho for the day to see Grandma Mitzi!

And Caden started football!
We're not done yet, we are going to Park City, we get to see Petrina again, Mark and I are going to Puerto Rico (not Costa Rica) for our Anniversary, and I can't believe that my baby starts school! Jack will be in Kindergarten, Jace in 2nd Grade and Caden in 6th!
