First Day of School 2015...

The first day of school started on August 19, 2015...

They all came home happy, which is always a good thing!

Libby Is In High School...

The "Freshmen" first day was on August 18, 2015...

 It's nice because it's a day for just the 9th grade.
This helps them get used to the school before all of the students come the next day!

AJ and Libby were nervous and excited!

It's crazy how fast the time has gone!  If you click the link below, you can see all of her "First Days" of school.

Elementary School Days

Here she is in 7th grade:

8th Grade...

Here she is on her first actual day of High School!

 "9th" Grade...

 She actually LOVES High School so far!

Here she is coming home from the first football game.

We sure love this girl and I can't believe Steve & I are old enough to have a kid in High School...Time needs to slow down a bit!

Summer Fun 2015...

I'm always sad when summer comes to an end!
Here are a few of our summer adventures:

We went swimming EVERY Wednesday...

 It was their favorite day of the week!

 Sophie is such a princess...She had to wear her high-heels to the pool!  

Love this girl!

We didn't go boating enough...

 This was our first time at Jordanelle.  

It was COLD!

 The kids got to ride the horses at my Brother Scott's house one night.  

He was so nice to help all of the kids take turns.
We went to Lagoon a few times, stayed up late, slept in and relaxed.
Now it's time to go back to schedules, homework, piano, dance and just being BUSY.
It's always a sad time of year for us, but school is starting soon!

Rocky Mountain Raceway...

Steve was able to go out to the raceways in Toole with some people from work.

 He had a lot of fun!

I think he found his new car!
Now he just needs to remember to keep those racing skills to the raceway and not the actual roads! ;)

Mountain Biking...

Steve and the boys have found a new favorite hobby...

 They have really gotten into biking.

Zack saved up his money and bought his own.  

They are expensive!

 It's fun for them to have something to do together!

They seem to come back with scrapes and bruises every time they go...

That hasn't stopped them yet!

I love these boys of mine!

Zack's Birthday Dinner...

We were actually driving home from Bear Lake on his birthday, but we still made it to Chuck-a-Rama for dinner!

We also celebrated his birthday at Sunday dinner....

Happy "12th" Birthday!!

Happy Birthday Zack!

I can't believe my Zack-a-Boo is "12"!!

Time is going by SO fast!

Bear Lake...

We spent a few days in Bear Lake August 2-5.

This girl knows how to pack for a trip!

I must say, I really enjoyed staying in a cabin over camping in the RV.

Everyone slept so much better and it was nice because it rained ALL day on our second day there.

The next day was absolutely beautiful!

 We had a great day at the lake.

 It was a little sad because when we went to launch the boat, it wouldn't start...Dead Battery!

Unfortunately, Steve spent a lot of the day going back to town to get it fixed.

 He made it back and it was a perfect day on the lake!

 This lake is the most beautiful color...It looks like the ocean!

It's definitely one of our favorite places to play on the beach and boat.
