"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Fun weekend at Lagoon!!

Every year the end of August for Maddy's birthday we go to Lagoon!! It is such a fun tradition and Maddy asks all summer when her birthday is going to be here so we can go. Uncle Jesse and Aunt Jessica came with us this year and it was a blast. Maddy was tall enough that she could ride all the big rides and she loved it. Since I am pregnant and can't ride most rides Josh had a nice little riding buddy to go with him, it worked out great. I had fun taking pictures and watching my kids laugh and have so much fun. I spent most of my time in the front seat of the stroller watching kids on the rides and it was a great spot for me to be :) We also got to go to Cabellas which is always fun for my kids to see all the big animals. We had a wonderful weekend that the kids will remember forever!! Thanks for all your help with the kids Jesse and Jessica, they love you!!

First day of school!

I can't believe school has started again, crazy!! Maddy started Kindergarten and Kynzee started Preschool. I am a little bit shocked by school being every day for Maddy, I am not sure I like her being gone so much. I was just getting use to Preschool three times a week last year and now I have to adjust to everyday. I sure miss them when they are away, I miss their giggles together, their cries, and their cute little smiles. It is so sad to watch them grow up and at the same time their is so much joy in it. I love my sweet little girls and wish I could keep them small forever. Here are some fun pictures I took of them before I sent them off for the day. Kynzee just had a meet the teacher day on Monday, so her real first day was Wednesday and she couldn't wait to go she was so excited. Maddy's first day was Monday and she has been everyday this week, she loves it, I am not so sure about it :( And I can't leave out Kenna this week... of course Kenna had to wiggle her little self into some of the pictures, where they go, she goes, and she hates that she cannot go with them to "cool" (school). O how I love these precious girls!!!






















Kynzee and her watermelon

Kynzee loves watermelon, so much that she is often found eating it right our of the huge bowl it came from!!! Love you Kynzee :)





Kenna's riding a bike!

This fun little bike was Maddy's, Kynzee's and now Kenna's!! Kenna has finally learned how to push hard enough with those tiny feet and make the pedals move. She worked so hard at learning how to ride this bike and she is so proud of herself. She asks everyone to watch her and always has a huge smile on her face. She is getting so big and learning all kinds of fun new things. I sure do love miss Kenna Kay!!!





Happy Birthday Aunt Jess!!

I am not very good at taking pictures at every family birthday party, but I happened to have my camera and took some pictures at Jessica's birthday party!!! (I know she will love me for it) We had family pictures earlier in the evening and then went to her house afterwards and had yummy pie and popsicles for the kids. We had a fun night together, thanks for inviting us over. We love ya Jess!!
