No, Kambree has not started school yet. But in 2 more weeks she will, preschool that is. (she is blowing me a kiss!)
Austin was just excited to eat lunch at school. We even practiced opening the milk carton!
Shawntell loves her new teacher. She was so excited to go back.
Paige is in her last year of Elementary School. Yes she is the big lady on campass and loves every minute of it.
I got some money back in May for my birthday and I finally decided where to spend it...a concert!! I love live music. Growing up in Idaho I didn't have the opportunity to go to many concerts. Because of where we live now I have the opportunity to see not only big named bands but lots of local talent. I am loving the local artists a lot, plus the tickets were only $10, can't beat that.
This concert was at the Avalon. We had never been there before. It is rather old, but way fun.
This is a picture of me with one of the opening acts. Their band name is JWRIDE. The main guy (on the right) plays the piano and sings, the other guy played the drums (never found the base player for a picture with him, oh well). They were so much fun to watch. I would love to see them in concert again.
Here is me with Benton Paul. He was the reason we went in the first place. He was AmaZinG! This last year he toured with David Archuleta ( you know, the American Idol kid). I have a wonderful husband that goes to the concerts with me and takes my pictures with everyone. He never gets his pictures with people because he thinks that would make him a "groupie"!
It was a fun night out with my sweet heart. And $10 well spent!
Just went to the Dr.s again and found out that I broke 2 toes not just one. Good to know!
Have you heard the saying "the Lord tests those he loves"? Well I must really be loved!! I am going on "Trek" (where the youth in our church re-inact the pulling of the handcarts that the pioneers did) next week. It is 24 miles in 3 days. I was getting something out of the closet for "Trek" and the box with the iron in it fell off the shelf and smashed my middle toe.
The tip of the 3rd toe is fractured. Cool colors huh! I have to wear that pretty shoe for 1 week and then buddy tape it for 3 weeks. But I still get to go on "Trek". This is just a test to see if I really wanted to go.
Shawns Grandmother passed away this last week and so we had the opportunity to go to the funeral. They live on a farm in Quincy, WA. This is one of the funnest things to do on the farm. The kids loved it.
This is a picture of Great Grandpa, Shawn's parents, and 4 of his siblings. I think 14 people were not able to attend from hubbies immediate family. So if they were all there this picture would have twice as many people.
And of course we needed a picture of us all dressed up. Nothing better then a funeral to get a family all together...OK maybe there are better ways.
We decided to go up to Jordanelle Reservoir. The kids had a great time. This is Shawn, Paige, Shawntell and Austin enjoying the ride. They even tried to fish a little, didn't catch anything.
This is Shawntell and me out all by ourselves. It was a long but fun day. Shawn was the only one that got sunburned! He put the sunblock on and then when he got in the canoe his shorts rode up a little and he didn't have sunblock on that part....so he is a little red.
This would be Kambree on the ride home. She just had way too much fun and she wasn't willing to give up the licorice!
Austin loves his cousin, Kylan. They are about 18 months apart in age, but they are the best of friends.
Today they are rocking the "Faux Hawk". Kylan is staying for a couple of days. Just think of all the fun adventures they will have. Austin is just so excited to have another boy at our house, with 3 sisters he often feels out numbered.
