The First Day Of School

The first day of school went really good. Kylee and Zoey both had a really good time and came home way excited to go back. I had a hard time leaving Zoey she just seems so little and for those of you who dont know her personality she is really shy and quite (I know thats hard to believe with the mother she has lol.) Needless to say she made it through the day fine and even found the right bus to get on and come home. Sophie also had a hard time without her sisters she kept asking when they were coming home and any noise that she would hear she would say "I think thats them" and run to the door to check. Kylee has a good friend in the same class and a really nice teacher so she has no complaints. She is really egar to learn her times tables and cursive.

Can you say cheese

Last Wednesday Shawn,the kids, and I drove down to Las Vegas to meet up with long time family friends, The Butlers (Michelle, Ryan, Brok, and Luke). They moved away from Mesquite 5 years ago. We hung out at their room and did alot of catching up and laughing. Then we decided to take the kids to Chucky Cheese for some dinner and entertainment. The kids had a blast! We don't go there much so they really think it is a treat when we brake down and take them.

Girls Trip To Park City

This year my mom took all of my sisters and our kids to Park City Utah for a little vacation. We left the heat on Thursday afternoon and came home on Sunday. Friday morning we got up and drove down the canyon to Hoggle Zoo my mom has wanted to take all of her grandkids to the zoo for a long time so she was really excited. Everyone had a blast the weather was perfect and all the animals were out and really playful. Later that afternoon we went back to the hotel and went swimming. On Saturday we went shopping over to the outlet mall there in park city, I think everybody and there dog decided that was a good day to go shopping so we decided to go back to the hotel and let the little kids take naps while the bigger kids went over and did the Alpine side and mini golf. Later that day we went back to the outlets to try and shop we did have 6 kids so not much shopping was getting done:) (What were we thinking)That night we orded pizza and watched a movie. On Sunday morning my mom made us yummy strawberry waffles with eggs and sausage. Thanks Mom for all you do you are the best.

The Last Swim Meet

On Aug.2 Kylee Swam in her last swim meet of the season. She did so awesome. She and her Dad had been working really hard on getting her starts better and it really paid off. She swam in 3 events and placed in all three. She took 4th in the butterfly, 3rd in the breast and 2nd in the freestyle. Shawn and I are really proud of her.

Crazy Kids

Kylee got ahold of my camera and these are a few silly pictures that she took at the swim meet.
