First Day of School

School started Early out here on 8/10. Hannah didn't have the greatest experience last year at this school so I was hoping that it wouldn't be a struggle for school this year. Lucky us she has an amazing teacher Miss Liska and absolutely loves school again! To bad we will only be here another 2 months. They have these lovely uniforms they have to wear(I hate). They have the option between a grey shirt and a bright yellow shirt. This is one of the things I'm looking forward when we move, no more uniforms. Here is my grown up baby on the first day of 2nd grade.

Demolition Derby

While we were in Wyoming they had a demolition derby. The kids and I have never been to one so we thought why not! My sister Natalie was just getting into town so she brought Trevor and came. It was a blast! They had the demo derby and two other events. One of the events was quite comical to watch. There was two people on the four wheeler and the back person had a balloon on their head and a foam sword that they would have to pop the other opponents balloons. The car the kids routed for ended up winning so they were very excited!

Wyoming Trip

Wyoming Trip

So the kids and I took off for 12 days to Wyoming. I have always gone since I was a little girl in the summers and have been back every year with my kids. This year was fun but we sure missed Ty being there. We broke the drive up there into two days. The first night we drove to Provo and then the next day met up with my sis-inlaw in Spanish Fork for Pioneer day parade. I don't think I have ever seen a longer parade! We drove into Montpelier, Id the next day to see my Grampa before we headed on over to the ranch. He really looked awesome but wish he could have been home with us. I took the kids golfing quite a bit. Hannah did very well she Double bogied a par 3 and was able to hit it over the pond on one hole. We went on bike ride/walks every night. The weather was sooo nice. The kids convinced Gramma to go on the bumper boats! Hannah told her " Come on Gramma didn't you know it's all about having fun". We decided that we would make the 11 hour trip back in one day and surprise Ty. I thought I was doing good on time and forgot to make a turn in Heber. Needles to say I went about 40 miles the wrong way before turning around. I was in full out tears 1 because I wanted to just get home and 2 because my gas light came on and I still had 30 miles to Heber. Luckily it we were going down the mountain so I through it in natural and some how made it back. We met Ty at work around 9. The kids were so excited to surprise him.

Lake

We took the kids out to the lake a few weekends ago and they HATED it! We went friday night and thought we would stay over. It's so nice out here I figured we would just sleep on the boat. Well a huge storm rolled in and we got eaten alive from the mosquitos. Ty and I pretty much didn't get any seep taking turns spraying he kids with repelent. Sat morning we went fishing for a while then let the kids get on the tube (bad idea). They ended up falling off because it was so choppy and Hannah and the tube went one way and Kolton went the opposite. Ty jumped in after Kolton because he was freaking out and left me with the boat! I have never driven or had any clue how to drive the boat. Needles to say we ended up staying out for a few more hours and packed up and headed home. Luckily it's only 5 min from where we live.

Birthdays!!

Since I am so behind I thought I would just post a few pics from Ty's and the kids brithdays. We didn't do any friend parties this year we just kept it low key at home. Ty has been working really long hours so the kids patiently waited all day to open their presents until Dad got home.( Their choice) Kolton had to wait till 9 I thought the 4 year old was gonna die!

Disneyland

We got the chance to go to Disneyland a while ago and had a blast!! My parents were able to come along for two of the three days which was fun for the kids. The weather was good not to hot or cold! The first day we were there it wasn't busy at all so we pretty much just walked on all the big rides with the kids. It was nice because then the rest the time we didn't have to worry about what we rode. Kolton was barely tall enough for the big kid rides but he went on them and they were his fav. Both of the kids favorite ride was Splash Mountain because Grampa got all the water in the front!
