school, camping, bass lake

The first day of school, my little girl isn't really ready for Kindergarten is she? Emma was so ready for the big day, she had her clothes chosen and her hair-do planned. Mom and Dad on the other hand had a hard time letting her go. We went to the playground and into her classroom with her. She kept giving us the "would ya leave already" look.
She quickly found Jillian and Riva on the playground, these are friends from Kreative Kids Preschool, they are all three in the same class. YEAH!


Really mom, you want me to smile again?

Shocking that she chose a Princess bag, it is filled with Hannah Montana stuff.
We had to get in one more camping trip before school started. We headed to the South Hills.
We went on a four-wheeler ride and saw a dead cow, Emma was riding with Ed and this is what she said "Uncle Ed, he doesn't look like he's feeling so good" Ed was cracking up, and so were the rest of us once we stopped and he told us. She is very entertaining and we are glad that Ed loves kids. We are lucky to have such good friends/family.

Elly was ready to shoot anything that may come into camp! Daddy was proud.



A good one for the Senior yearbook!


Dara and her kiddos invited us and the Williams family to Bass Lake, thanks!


Maitea deciding which Little Mermaid character to make in the sand.


Elly having tons of fun

Loving the sand and water.

Emma is so brave now in the water, swim lessons this year are paying off. She would even go out to the far dock and jump off and then swim back.


This was our second to last day with Maitea before she moved to Africa. I'm glad the girls had fun together! They are sure gonna miss each other.

Okay, here's the last part of our summer vacation. Eventually, I'll get the whole thing finished. Funny how today is the first day of school and I actually had a minute to post.

Emma loved Sierra, I was tempted to bring her home with us.

I love that Elly's tongue is out, deep in thought.

Holy Cow, Brittney is posting!


We've been so busy and I'm having a hard time getting the whole post finished

so I decided to do trip by trip.

We had a trip to Ashton for my 10 year class reunion, but I didn't get pictures...thanks Olivia for taking care of that part. The slideshow was great!

Here we are in Boise, about mid June. The Johnson family was visiting from WI, we love them and wish they would just move home! The kids have so much fun together.


Ma Betty with her Senors and Senoritas.




Hmmmmm, I'm not real sure about this thing!


The 86 year old spanish dancer, she is amazing!

When there is no crib...use the tub.


Loving Uncle Mike.

This is Emma's pool that has to stay at Uncle Ryan's house. She loved the spraying rock.
