First Day of School 2015!

The kids are off this morning.  I have to admit, Im not really sad this year.  Not like last at least.  Ryan keeps telling me Im going to be lonely, which I know I will, but for now I will enjoy the relief, and the lack of fighting and nagging and cleaning and feeding….

Rett is going to be really lonely too.  Im already dreading next year though!

Claire is in 2nd with Heather Ross, she is determined to ride her bike to the corner and of course she crashed right out of the driveway and went to the bus crying.  I hope her day goes better, it was a rough start!

Justin is 4th grade with Mrs. Scott.  He is also starting tackle football and is so excited!

Emma is officially Jr. High.  She got contacts last week and can finally put them in somewhat quickly.  I liked the glasses, it covered up all the makeup!  She is getting too pretty.

Ashley is off to High school, she is just mellow and doesn’t say much, but reads a LOT!  She is cheering and I just realized that means we have to go to all the games now.  I hope we don’t freeze during football, and that the little boys will cooperate!

The dog was so funny, he was in almost every picture and just sat and looked right at me, like he knows the drill!

Lots of Photographers!

I have so many helpers to take pictures and Wynn always looks cute so I have lots of random shots of him, and lots of selfies of everyone!  Technology is so different from when I was a kid!

Cement!

Who knew cement was so valuable!  The kids love to take the bikes into the church and ride.  It was a warm spring day so we went for it!

April Fools!

I wanted to really fool the kids this year, it turned out more fun than fools, which was great for us!

The red koolaid is Jello, so it is not going to come up the straw!

Rett was really confused!

The pink “cupcakes” for dinner were meat loaf topped with pink frosting.  The kids liked them!

I frosted a balloon in chocolate frosting and then went into the school for Ashleys sports banquet.  Emma was babysitting and she called me feeling really upset and sad.  While she wasn’t watching Rett climbed on the counter and licked off the frosting exposing the trick!  She thought I would be mad that they found out it was a balloon.  We all just laughed, except Justin, he really wanted a piece of chocolate cake!

Hansel and Gretel

The kids participated in the spring play again this year.  I always forget what a crazy busy week it is, but its so fun for the kids that we endure it anyway!  Ashley was the cutests camper!  She was the spoiled girl, (which is totally not her normal personality) but she played it so well, I was impressed!  She really looked pretty with all that makeup caked on, but Im not telling her that!

Emma was a younger camper and looked quite pretty too with her side kick Serena.

The whole group of campers.

SKI Bums!

We went with the school up to Soldier Mountain to do a little skiing.  It was Justin’s first time.  He did FAST.  Not good or bad, just FAST!  So like him!  Ashley braved the big hill and didn’t like it.  We will just stick to the bunny hill another year I guess!

Sure wears the body out!

Sunday Shots

Rett somehow got a chance with the ipad, that is rare!

IMG_1267IMG_1266IMG_1265

I always quiz the kids during Sunday dinner about their lessons and the talks.  While I was quizzing Justin and Claire were thinking of other things….

Late Christmas Present

Justin begged for a dirt bike for Christmas, I finally sat down with him and told him it was not going to happen.  Ryan will not buy something for one kid, if its for the whole family that is different.  Anyway Justin and I decided he would save up his money like Emma did for her kindle and before he knows it he will have enough for a dirt bike.  He cried, and when he sat on Santa’s lap he said he didn’t want anything for Christmas.  Poor kid!  Well while we were in Pocatello Ryan goes to potato school and they have an auction afterward and I guess Ryan couldn’t resist this cute little dirt bike and he bought it.  Without any of us knowing.  Needless to say we have one REALLY happy boy (and sisters).

Ashley will not ride it, she crashed Bode’s into Jays pond and refuses to ride, hopefully she will get over her fear soon.  Not that she could have a turn anyway!
