24th of July

The kids and I were able to fly to Arizona to spend some time with my parents before they left for their mission to teach at BYU Hawaii. It was great to spend time with both families while we were there. We were able to drive to Utah with Bryan's mom and spend the 24th with her in Panguitch. We had a great time! The morning of the 24th at 5 am they shoot off cannons to start the day. When the first one went off I thought someone had run into our car so I jump up and throw back the curtains ready to catch whoever crashed into the car. Then Arlene told me it was the cannons! It scared me to death. I was ready to chase whoever... no bra and all! They have a great parade and the kids got a lot of candy! At the end of the parade the fire truck sprays everyone who wants to get wet! It was great! We had a fun filled weekend playing ping-pong, liar, speed, war, running around the track and of course eating at Henry's! Stephanie and her family were there with us and we had a great time with her boys! Harrison still asks to play with Austin! We can't wait to go again!

First Day of School!

We moved back to Bloomington just in time for the kids to start school! We can't believe how old our kids are getting. Kamryn started 5 th grade and Brad is in 3rd. Harrison will start pre-school in a week. I have no idea what I am going to do with myself 3 mornings a week!

KK turns 11

Our sweet daughter turns 11 today! We can't believe that she is so old. It seems like just yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. She was been the BEST daughter. Here are some of our favorite things about her:

1. Her laugh. She has the best belly laugh.

2. She is so smart. She loves school and does very well. We never have to ask her to do her homework - she always completes it before we ask about it.

3. She loves rocks. Since she was about 1 year old she will find and collect rocks that she likes. She still comes home with pockets full of rocks!

4. She loves to sew and knit. She always has her knitting needles with her so if she has time she can work on her project.

5. She is not afraid to share the gospel. She is a great missionary!

6. She is so good to her brothers. Even though she wishes she has a sister she still loves to play with her brothers (even if it is Super Mario Brothers).

7. She makes great eggs and toast for breakfast. In fact she is so good at making them that the boys would prefer her to make them.

8. She LOVES soccer. She is really good at goalie but LOVES to play forward.

9. She has the most beautiful hair but HATES to have me comb it for her. It is so thick and curly!

10. She loves to play any type of game. You name the game and she will play it.

11. She has a strong testimony of the gospel and is the kind of girl that makes us so proud!

Happy 11th Birthday Kamryn! We love you!
