First Day of School!!!

This is Dylans first day of school in 7th grade. As you can see, he didn't care if he combed his hair or not! Cute little stinker!Hayden is in 4th grade this year. Mr. Phelps class. I love this picture! Hayden's smile looks so cute!
Here is Adorable little Layci. 1st grade this year. I can't believe ALL of my babies are in school all day long! The house is really quiet!

The fort under the house.....

About a Month or so ago, a Friend of mine was selling her stainless steal appliances, she is such a wonderful person and is letting me "trade" for them. I get to Cut, color etc. her families hair in trade for the appliances. There was a gas stove and I have always wanted one. We had a gas line put in when our house was built but never used it. When we remodeled our kitchen, we just capped it off because I thought I would never get a gas stove. Greg had to climb under the house and extend the gas line so it would reach where our stove is now.
The kids thought it was the funnest thing in the world to climb around down under the house. I gave Hayden the camera and told him to take pictures of their adventure! I don't know why he didn't get any of Dylan though! For a few weeks after they wanted to go back down and play under the house. Too funny!

Fall Canning

This year I planted a garden. It was my "real" first experience with one. I think it did pretty well. I planted beans, cucumbers, canaloupe, carrots, peppers, radishes, lettuce, strawberries and tomatoes. With the tomatoes that we did get this year, which really weren't that many, we canned what we could. Layci wanted to help and it was a fun experience canning with her. She is so cute. She sure loved to peel the skins off.
Like I said, we really didn't get much but I did can 7 pint jars full of tomatoes for the winter.
My sister and I also canned peaches and made jam! I love peach jam it is my Favorite!!

Layci's New Bike

This year layci had outgrown her old bike so I decided to take Haydens old bike that used to be Black and yellow and restore it to a new one for Layci. This is the finished product. I really didnt want to buy a new bike when I could just paint the old one. She is so thrilled with it. I thought it turned out so cute.
I printed out some vinyl from our vinyl machine just to add some cute bling to it.

While we were at the park, we saw alot of things. Birds of course , a snake (which I hate! YUCK) Turtles and we even saw a beaver in the water. When we first got there all of a sudden a deer ran right in front of us. A DEER! In the Park in downtown Boise. Then we saw another one and a baby deer too! It was really fun and cool to see them.
I love the picture of the kids walking and holding hands. I think it is just too precious.

A Day at the park!

Last Sunday afternoon we took the kids to Katherine Albertson Park to take their pictures and to just get out and enjoy the nice afternoon.
This is one of my favorite places at the park. Probably because it brought back old memories for Greg and I. That is where he proposed.
This was the first picture I took of the kids. I think it turned out really cute!

We were so lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa Westover come up the week Layci had her Recital.  She was so excited to Dance for them.  She had a big cheering section.  Nana and Papa Beckman and Aunt Traci, Uncle Mark and cousins were also there to cheer her on.  

She was even given flowers for her performance.  She thought she was so special.  She did a great job!
During the Mexican Hat dance...... I love having a Girl!  It is so much fun to dress her up! :)
