School Begins...

The opening of the letters… The week before school starts, the kids get their "who's my teacher" letters in the mail. They can't wait for the mail to come and see who they'll have…

Rhenley was STOKED to get a guy teacher, and an awesome one at that! Mr. Schuster has been teaching since I was in elementary school… I wanted him for a teacher :) So Fun that Rhenley got him!

Jodee got Mrs. Moe & Jayda got Mrs. Anderson! Looking forward to another fabulous year!

Pretty EXCITED for this year!

Go my girls! Learn new things! Be AWESOME!

First day of school!

Peyton's Baptism

Our niece Peyton (Leslie's daughter) was baptized last weekend… So glad we live close enough to be able to go and spend time with family! Love these crazy people!

My silly Lucas "It's great to be 8" :)

Had to post this picture… Leslie (right in the middle) made the best face… my favorite picture of the weekend festivities :) Love you Les!

Happy Baptism day Peytoners, We Love You!

Sexy pictures with my siblings (minus Daren :( He had to work) Love these crazy kids!

LOVE this one! I'm going to be framing this gem! (i played with the colors a little, Love it!)

Salmon Bake & Indian Dance @ Kah-nee-ta

This was the highlight of the reunion for me… a delicious Salmon Bake, and authentic indian dancers… AWESOME!!

I ate too much of the Indian fry bread :) But man it was delicious!

This girl was my favorite, she was Gorgeous!

The little kids were adorable! What a neat tradition to pass to generations...

(I took a few videos of the dances, I get them to download here though:( )

The Mother of the Group… she was a very matronly woman!

We even got to participate in a few dances… Aunt Marie was hysterical :)

Thank You Kah-nee-ta for a wonderful time!

Kah-nee-ta Continued...

We had a lot of fun at the resort… plenty to do…

Lucas & Rhenley went horseback riding… (with Kendall, Leslie, Jake & Brenden)

Rhenley & Destiny

I took this picture from the village balcony, look closely, you can see the horseback riders :)

Mini Golf adventure… IT WAS HOT!!!

Rhenley was bummed… 3 balls all fell in the same hole… "How do I get my ball out of that?"

Crafts for the kids… Aunt Leslie helped the kids make cork boats & then they had races...

We found a really nice swimming spot at one of the state parks near the resort… We spent part of one day here… The kids LOVED it!

Aunt Kyra organized a game of BINGO with the kids… Rhenley won this cute water bottle!

And we of course spent a little bit of every day at the pool… (I didn't get many pictures because everyone was just having fun… going down slides, swimming…) GOod TiMes with the FamIlY!
