Fourth of July!!!

I know it has been months since I have blogged but I now that I have a little time of my own (my kids are in school) I have time to document our lives!!! I love it!!!
So here is our 4th of July:



This Grandma and the "crazies". They really liked the hiking part of hiking! I wish I could bottle their energy!

Even Grandpa made it up the steep hike to the waterfalls. It was worth it!

This is the two sweet brothers on the ferry to the waterfall hike!

They kids got to go bungee jumping (well a kids version)! They loved it!



J didn't like to go fast on the alpine slide! Notice the annoyed people behind her who also couldn't go fast! SORRY!!!



This is a shot of the glorious Tetons (well it looked more awesome when we were there)

Cute Victor parade

First fourth of July, it was so fun! We went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my parents! They kids loved it. We rode the alpine slide, hiked around Jenny Lake, went to this cute little parade in Victor, and watched some great fireworks! It was great!

School Days...

Here we go.... I have to say summer was really great! I am going to miss the never ending nights, the carefree days, the sound of kids playing outside in the back yard, the eating out on the porch...It was a wonderful summer full of memories. my kids are at the perfect age, I have been told that this is the "calm before the storm". It feels very calm and I'm really enjoying it.




Hopefully they don't act this way for their teachers!!!

This is a fun tradition we have. I remember doing it when I was going back to school! The kids lay out their clothes on the floor and make a person with their new school clothes. It helps me on that first day get them all ready because they already know what they are going to wear. HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN FOUR KIDS READY FOR THE BUS!!!!!!! It is crazy! But anyway...










D wanted to do one even though he is staying home with me....


Isn't this the cutest picture? I love to see them getting along and especially with scriptures in hand!!!
