Happy Labor day

For Labor day, Daves moms family has a reunion every year, this year they decided to have it up AF canyon. We were excited. We absolutely love it up there, we just never have the chance to make it there NEAR as often as we would like, so we were glad it gave us the excuse to go there. We headed out early in the morning and went four wheeling for a few hrs up into mineral basin ( to see how the ol cabin Dave has had his eye on for a while-- and was going to call the guy who owns it to see about how he could aquire it :) but it was either tore down or a mud slide or something came through and leveled it- he was pretty bumbed!!) then we wanted to get some good family pictures, and pictures of the kids. We found a pretty stream and dave got all the kids positioned on rocks in the stream, then I went to snap the pictures... only to find out my camera batteries were dead, but dont worry, I always have a spare... Hold on kids dont fall in the water while I change my batteries. OH CRAP these batteries are dead too. I was so mad. so we had out cell phones and took some with those- I'm sure they arent as good but atleast we got some. Then we decided to head up into forest lake. Man, it is so beautiful up in there!! Kaylee had fun catching the salamanders..she caught like 5 or so. Then headed down to the reunion at Mutual Dell. Thats always fun. They also reserved the zip line. Kaylee wanted to do it. So Dave got her all strapped in, then she was scared to Dave went with her then she wanted to do it again by herself. Then after she was totally bumbed that she had Dave go with her the first time. She loved it. Then we went up to Silver Lake Flats to end the day with some fishing. We had a great time. The kidos were catching the fish left and right.. Having a ball. We were even lucky enough to have grandma Snyder and Mike and Karra and that sweet little Adison come with us. Although the girlies will have to give uncle Mike some lessons on how to catch fish :) its all in the mickey mouse pole, Man. well, here are some of the pictures from our day. Enjoy!!

1st Day of Scholl!

Last thursday, the 27th of August our little girl started kindergarten!! Its crazy to me how fast they grow up. It seems like a year or two ago Dave and I started dating, and now I'm one of the old parents who have kids in school!! I was super nervous all morning, had knots in my stomach, but she was so excited. It was time to head out to the bus stop, and I ran back in to grab the camera, and by the time I got back outside Kaylee was gone, just running as fast as she could, almost to the bus stop. I had to yell for her to come back so I could get pictures. I was nervous because she is sooo shy, she will not talk to adults, I was worried how she would do. She came home with all smiles. Then the next day, Friday, as soon as she got off the bus, before she said hi or anything, she just said "Mom, I want to go back to school right now!!" I knew then she would be fine!! She counted down all weekend until it was Monday and she could go back to school. She was sent home with the "sound Bag" where they have a letter (ours was Aa) that they have to fill the bag with things that start with that letter, so all weekend we were gathering things, and she had to present it to the class today. She came home so excited that she got up infront of the class and talked!! I was so happy and so proud of how far she has come in less than one week of school!! Good Luck Kaylee!! Mom and Dad love you!!
