My little gymnast

Don't mind the horrible lighting of this picture or her undies hanging out....but Erin did a little gymnastics class through the rec center and just loved it! She was quick to make new friends and become the teachers pet. Everyday she asked, "is it Friday yet?" and regardless put her leotard on everyday!

New School Year

Remember how behind I am right? So these were taken on the first day of school....so we are talking back in August! I'm so behind! The only reason I am posting these things is for my own benefit. Last year I took my blog and compiled all of the years highlights in a groovy book. I'm hoping to do the same this year. The kids started a new school this year - Chandler. They have done great even though it was so difficult to leave all of their Story friends and teachers. They still compare everything but are making new friends and learning the ropes.

JUMP

I absolutely just loves these pictures Dave took in the backyard after church one Sunday while we were there. Totally jumping in their Sunday best...but I love how each of their personalities just shine through!

After the open house we invaded Traci's home and enjoyed lunch there with Shanna and Traci's families. Then we took advantage of how close we were to Kennecott. That was the first time we had ever been. It was really interesting to see up close! It is the worlds largest open pit copper mine. Check out the actual size of the tires that the trucks use in the mines!

Oquirrh Mountain Temple

We were very blessed to be in Utah during the Oquirrh Mountain Temple open house. It is absolutely beautiful! We were so glad that they were able to have this experience with them and the rest of Ryan's family. I love the picture of Grandma & Grandpa with ALL of their grandkids! Thanks to Dave for taking all these!

Buds Together Again

We really enjoyed seeing some of our friends that have moved to Utah. Seth was especially excited to hang out with McKay. They definitely made the most of our trip out. They spent some time in Morgan on 4 wheelers, swimming and hiking the M and in Kaysville celebrating McKay's birthday, camp Kiesel, and working on McKay's fort. So glad they have kept in touch!

Take me out to the ball game....

One night we went down to Ogden for dinner at Javiers and a Raptor game!
