but for a few short years I have the privilege of knowing them as children."

First Day of School

Kyle is now in 7th Grade at the Junior High.
 Hayden is in 5th Grade.
 Jared is in 2nd Grade.
And a week later Allison started Kindergarten.
Silly Nathan!

 Her teacher started the day by reading "The Kissing Hand" to the class...
 and then she gave each child a "kiss" stamp on their hand. It was so sweet. 
And then it was time for me to leave. Neither one of us cried. Which has never happened to me on a 'first day of kindergarten.' I must be getting better at this.

Monster Trucks! Grrrrr!

The County Fair came to town so Clint took the older boys to the monster truck show. And that's all I have to say about that. Because I wasn't there. And I don't know anything about monster trucks. But it looks like they had fun.

Daddy's Girl

This little girl loves her Daddy. She gets so excited when he gets home from work and runs to him to give him a hug. Such a cutie!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Maddy and Daddy!

Kyle's Ordination

Now that Kyle is twelve, he was ordained a deacon at Church on Sunday. He looks to grown up and handsome in his new suit. I'm very proud of him for being such an awesome kid and setting a good example for his younger brothers. Love this boy!

Back to the Reservoir

The next day we took David, Courtney and Oliver to the reservoir. That little Oliver is quite the swimmer.  And we bought an inflatable boat that the kids had fun with, and we had fun watching them try to paddle it. Clint only had to swim out once to rescue them. :)

Bean Museum

David, Courtney and Oliver came to visit so we thought it would be fun to take them to the Bean Museum over at BYU. 
 
 
 
 
 "Do I look scary?"
 
 
"This is my warthog impression."
 Who do you think will win this staring contest?

Hayden's Bear

Hayden earned his Bear rank in Cub Scouts. We are very proud of Hayden and all the hard work he did over the past year.
