1st grade here we come!!!!

Oh, I can't believe that my baby is in first grade. I got all choked up just taking this picture and remembering last year when we took the same picture just before kindergarten and I realized how much she has grown. I am having a harder time with 1st grade compared to kindergarten. She is going to be at school all day. It seems that she has grown up just way too fast.
Macy and her teacher. She is so nervous about the first day of school. She is so shy, but her teacher seems like she will be really fun.
Waiting in line to go to class. Mom was having a hard time leaving. I probably would have stayed all day if they would have let me.

Tonka Truck's and Dirt - A boys HEAVEN!

Ahhh, there is nothing better than tonka trucks and dirt for little boys. For some reason my boys can seem to find dirt to play in no matter where they go. I thought that it was a little too quiet in the house, and upon further investigation I discovered the boys outside in their underware (yes they are frequently in their underware), playing with their trucks. It was so cute to see them playing so well together. I snapped these pictures without them knowing I was watching.

This was also cute, they were outside playing and had their trucks right next to each others. Thanks to Grandma for the great birthday presents, they boys are loving their trucks.

Pioneer Days

OK, so I know that I am a little slow to post, but I have really good intentions of getting better. These are the pictures from the Pioneer Day's parade. It is such a fun parade to go to. The kids had so much fun. After the parade we went to Grandma's to swim. Thats the best way to spend the after noon after a parade. Cooling off in the pool.

Macy with her bag to put all of her candy in. We were glad we had it, we ended up with so much candy.

Austin wearing mom's shades. He has such a hard time in the sun and refused to wear his own glasses. Apparently mom's work better.
The love of my life!
Little Lexxi, she is so stinkin' cute.
Carter, he thought he was pretty big stuff sitting in dad's chair.

All American Boy

My all american boy. Austin loves baseball. His favorite movie is "Everyone's Hero". If you haven't seen it I would strongly recommend it. It's way cute. Austin asks me every night on our way home if I will play baseball with him. We got him this tee with plastic ball and bat for Christmas. But he won't use them. He has to have a hard ball and this little wooden bat that he got from my mom. He takes that bat everywhere with him. He is such a boy.

He is so excited. Tonight we are going to a Chuckers baseball game in Idaho Falls. It is going to be so much fun. I am excited to get lots of fun pictures.

Chaos

Do you ever have a day where you feel like your life is in complete chaos. Well I have been having a week of it. I have so many things that I want to get done, and so many ideas for things to do, and it seems like the harder I try to get it all done the less that gets accomplished. I am not even talking about my regular house cleaning chores (which by the way are not getting done). I have lots of projects that I have started and not yet completed. The funniest thing is that the more chaos I feel the more ideas I get. Now if I could just figure out how to keep track of them all.


Today Jase made the comment to me that their watering was slowing down and summer was half over. To him this means getting the crops harvested and then slowing down. I was so sad when I thought about summer being half over. It seems like it just started, I am not ready for it to be over already.

My Macy starts school in a month. Oh how I am not looking forward to the chaos of school mornings. Stressing myself out making sure that we have everything and getting her to the bus in time so that she doesn't miss it. Macy is bored with summer already and looking forward to being in the 1st grade. Oh how she is growing up, 6 going on 18. Sometimes I can't believe the drama that we have to deal with. Jase keeps asking me if it is going to get better and I informed him "Absolutely Not!!!! Next we hit puberty and it will be twice as bad" Oh not looking forward to that. I am hower looking forward to school shopping and buying her lots of new school clothes. She is so like me and hates to shop. That is where the internet has saved my life. I can go on there, pick out exactly what I want and have it sent directly to my door. No more crowds, man life is good.

Ok, so enough rambling. I have a long list of things that need to be done, and it's not going to get done on it's own. Best of luck with your chaos.

Our little fishing trip

We had a fun day fishing. Even though we did not catch anything, we still had a good time.

Carter fishing.

Happy 4th of July

We started our 4th of July with a parade in Rexburg. It was so hot. We were glad that it wasn't too long. The sun was really bright.

The only time that mom doesn't yell for being in the road. Catching a little candy and watching the parade up close.
AH!!! We needed to cool down a bit.
Just making sure we are still friends.
Now this is a holdiay!
