Slushy Walks

Well if there is one thing that we have done consistantly over the summer it has been our slushy walks. We have been blessed to have the best sno shack in the valley right down the street from us. On special days (2-3 times a week) the kids put on all their bike gear and they ride their bikes down and Jake and I follow, and we go get us a slushy! It has been so fun! It will be one thing that will be greatly missed when our summer is over!

Family Favorite Flavors:

Kirt: Sour grape mixed with sour apple (yuck)!

Tonya: Tigers blood (until half way through the summer Shay got heat stroke on the way

back and up chucked her tigers blood), and mango madness

Kaitlyn: Bubble gum and red raspberry, blue raspberry mixed

Shaylee: Cotton Candy

Jake: Little tastes from everyone!!

Kaitlyn's first day of school

Wow, I'm old! I can't believe I already have a kid in school! Kaitlyn was so excited to go to school and the first week has been an adventure! On Monday we had family home evening and talked about strangers, not going with people we don't know, and not letting people touch us, ect. . So I picked her up from school on Tuesday and asked her how her day was and this was her reply;

Mom: "how was school today?"

Kaitlyn: "nothing happened."

Mom: "what do you mean nothing happened?"

Kaitlyn: "I saw no strangers, no tried to kidnap me, no one tried to touch me, (and with a shrug of the shoulders), hum maybe it will happen tomarrow."

NO, we don't want it to happen tomarrow, or ever, crazy kid! I just don't know what I am going to do with her!

(special thanks to Grandma McKee for the cute Hannah Montana shirts that the girls think that they can wear everyday)!

My Very First Post!

Well I've been feeling left out of the blog world, so Amber talked me into starting one. For my very first post I thought that I would tell you about our 9 day camping trip to Cedar City!! Every year we go down with Nicole's in-law family to Cedar for the bow hunt. Kirt is so sweet and wants his family there with him, so we all packed up and went camping. Kirt outfitted the whole family with camo and the kids looked so cute! While we were up there we took the kids fishing and Kaitlyn and Shaylee caught their very first fish! It was so much fun. We are not looking forward to getting back to everyday life but we enjoyed our time together!
