Our New Fish Tank =)

First Day of School

They both had a great first day! Ryan is more excited than he was (he wasn't looking forward to school starting up again). His favorite thing is Science. No, not the subject or necessarily the teacher, but the class pets (fish tank, 2 gecko's, quaker parrot). The one teacher I was most worried about him liking (but I didn't tell him) he says is his favorite so far. YEA! Amber had a good day too =) They stayed in their home room class all day though, they will really start next week.

Let's hope they don't serve BBQ at school . . . . yikes

Summer Trip Home!

We flew home this summer to see my family! It was an awesome visit! We saw so many friends and family, had great food, played lots of games, and made many incredible memories . . . . .

We all love the incredible mountains!

We walked the dogs with O'pa




We walked so far even this little dog tried to pull us home.


We spent the 4th with my sister's friends. We played games, ate lots of food and had a great time!
The kids loved jumping on the trampoline. They would jump from the trampoline into the pool.




We learned a new game. Mike is going to make us a set =) We played it a lot and it was fun!


We set off some fireworks at my sisters, then went down to watch the city fireworks.



We got to go out on my sister's boat! We all had fun!






Amber liked going on the jet ski with her cousin.

Mike got to go out on the jet ski with Ryan and Amber.


The kids loved picking blueberries in my sister's back yard.

We walked with Opa along the Riverfront park.



Mike, O'pa and the kids took a day trip to the fish hatchery.



O'ma taught Mike how to make popcorn balls . . . .


And carmels . . . .

My sister was babysitting this cute little puppy and we all enjoyed her =)
