1st Day of School

Ya, School is finally here. Eva has been asking all summer long when she gets to go back to Miss Terry's class. Today was the big day!

"Watch out school, here I come"!!

Celebrating Heroes

The 4th of July . . . We have been participating in the Evergreen parade for the past few years. In years past we have always just decorated wagons, but we have always dreamed having having a float. Our husbands never wanted to build one . . . so this year I found one on ksl.com for $25 - good find, considering it would have cost over $100 to build one + our husbands really didn't want to do it.
This years parade theme was "Celebrating Heroes". We took a spin off of that and did a Little Red Riding Hood float -- The woodsman was our hero!

Good Ole' green truck taking the float up to the start

Old school . . . Riding in the back

Thank you Robert :) You did such a good job holding back the float

Grandfather Stan & the girls

The Boyce Family

We missed having the brothers this year & of course we missed Bart. He was racing in B.C.

Bear Lake

We spent a few days at the lake with Heidi & her boys. The kids had a blast on the beach. We kept saying how lucky we were to be able to take off during the week and sit on the beach with our kids.

Stella bee-lined straight to the water when we got out of the car. And loved every second.

Not posed . . . This is how Eva & Richard ate their lunch .

Stella and her beloved shoes. She refused to take them off.

We have been taking these pix of Eva & Richard since they were 1 yrs old.
