First Day of School! First Day of School!
My Kids were so excited for school! I thought that I would have a really hard time getting them up this morning but Tyson was up at 5:50 and Abbie got up as soon as I went in her room and told her she got to go to school today!

This is what I got from Tyson when I asked for some pictures! What a silly kid! And these aren't all of them!

My sweet little girl got to go to kindergarten today! She was a little nervous to ride the bus but, when I told her Tyson would be there with her and I would met them at the school she wanted to go!

Waiting at the bus stop...

And here comes the bus!

Oh look how cute! Tyson grabbed his sisters hand to help her get to the bus! What an awesome big brother!

See in the second window that is my baby all grown up going to school! BOOO HOOOO HOOO! OK I'm good now! Then they were gone! I went to school helped Abbie get settled. And then there were two, just Ema and I! We had a good first day too!

When they got home they reported that they had a really good first day! And they want to go back! Hope for this excitement all year long!!!!!

SUMMERTIME!!!

Wow how this time has just flown by for me this year! Just seems like last week we ended school and now we are only a week away for school to start again! We started out this summer by sending Tyson off with grandpa and grandma for a 2 week vacation to Northern Idaho! They went to SilverWood theme park! Tyson had so much fun. We heard nothing else for two weeks afterwards... they then worked their way back through glacier national park, Montana, and not sure where else they went but he had a really good time. Dad called and asked us if we wanted to meet them in Yellowstone for the weekend to suprise Tyson. We thought it would be fun so that is what we did! It was a good old time we went shopping, and through the park!

Old Faithful was pretty cool the kids really liked it!

I hate to say this the only animal we saw all day in the park but it is..... the only others were 4 elk that we saw was on our way out about 10 min before we left the park!

But it was so cute and it came right up to us!

There were lots of pretty views though and I like that better than animals anyway! It was a good suprise and we had a great time on our first family vacation of the year!

Then on July 14th only 4 days after we got Tyson home.. he was out jumping on the trampoline when he fell and went to catch himself braking his left arm... What a way to end the summer!

Its kind of crappy to not be able to do anything for the rest of the summer! But we have gotten through it and we get it of on the 24th of August! Yeah!!!!

Next thing that happened was Ema turned 3!!!

My baby is growing up! She wanted a princess cake so that is what we did! We went to Thomas and Cylista's house and had a party on 23rd for Ema and Brittanie! Then we went to Grandma Lorna's and Grandpa Richards house for a hotdog roast it was a good time!

We then got to go to our Family Reunion! It was a great time to be with family! This is a picture of grandma and grandpa in their golf cart arent they sooooo cute!!! Can't wait for the next one next year!

And in between all that we have been busy keeping up with the yard. And watching the super awesome sun sets!

And this is what we have been up too this summer!

SHOSHONE FALLS
June 18th, 2011
We decided it would be fun to take a day trip to Shoshone Falls. It was so fun and a nice get away! We went with the Goodwins and had a really good time! Here are just a few of my pictures I took there!

It was really full and when we got a good breeze we even felt the mist!

My kids loved it! They keep asking when we are going back! Which is kinda funny because when we first pulled up and couldnt see falls Tyson said this is what we drove all that way for!But by the end he was saying this is awesome! They had a good time and they even got along! Crazy we should go on family outings more often!

Tyson posing on a rock. Showing his muscles!

Abbie wanted me to take a picture! So cute! Couldnt however get those kids in the background to stop making faces. (Wait those belong to our group!!!) They thought they were being funny! I guess they were! Im glad I got it on film!

Ema was so scared of the water! Wouldnt let her dad put her down! After a long while she felt comfortable! They loved how there was a rainbow in the mist!


Here are all the grandkids that went on our outing! We went on the hike to all the look outs and then we had lunch on the grassy area! The best part Abbie said was being able to run around and play tag with her cousins!

They even went climbing in some of the caves I think that was a cave! It was a great time! We will have to do it again next year!

Tyson had his first baseball game!

And if I say so myself I think he is rather good at it! This is him posing before the big game! I got most of the game on my video camera if I can figure out how to get it on here I will later! But here is what I got so far!

Tyson played his first game against downey! So we went to downey and played against matthew it was so neat! Tyson got up to bat and you heard matthew on first base say "Your going down!!"

Needless to say Inkom won that game but it was fun to see them both play together!!! Next game on tues!!!

My Tulips I LOVE Tulips!

Ema helped me take some very pretty pictures! She took this next one all by herself!

ONE YEAR TODAY!!!!!!
We moved into our home!

Look how far we have come!

Looks alittle different with grass and flowers huh!

Its been a great experience! All the first in our house were so fun! Im alittle sad to be over with that however Im sure the memories we create here will last a lifetime!!!! Thank you to everyone that made it possiable for us to be here! Thank you for hours and hours of help! Also Im thankful for our friends and neighbors that have made this a great year and made us feel so welcome!

What a weekend!!!
We had such a great weekend! Tyson got baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on Sat.. It was a great day! At first we thought it was to be a combined Stake baptism but a week before we found out that Tyson would be the only one! So we got to plan the whole thing. So we had Grandma Loretta give the opening prayer, Aunt Cylista give the baptism talk she did a good job. She put a penny in vinegar and salt and told Tyson that the penny represented him.. At one point she told him that she was going to leave the penny in the vinegar for awhile. Tyson said You are starting to make me nervous! ( He was scared to begin with that is dad would leave him under the water) He cracks me up!! Then we had him baptized Grandpa Richard and Granpa Clifford were the wittnesses. And then Carissa sang I know when I am baptized! It was so pretty! Grandma Lorna talked about the Holy Ghost! She did a great job too!!! We then had him confirmed! Uncle Ben gave the closing prayer! It was great meeting and there was a great feeling there! When then luncheon out our house! It was an awesome day and he had lots of family there to support him in his decision! I love you Tyson and we are so proud of you! Here are some pictures:

Tyson and his Dad. He is so happy!

This is our little family. Ema wouldnt look at the camera!

Proud Grandparents and Great Grandparents!!!

Bishop Wright and Tyson! (Wouldn't suprise me if we were related)

Not the best picture but the room was packed with people who love and supported Tyson!!! Congratulation Tyson!!!!!
