Backpacking Trip

Kirt took Katie and Tanner on a backpacking adventure. They went to 4th of July pass in Idaho where Kirt takes the YM camping alot. There are some warming huts and trails that cross country skiiers use in the winter. They hiked about a mile in, set up camp in the warming hut and then made a fire and roasted smores. Kirt said that Katie kept asking Kirt while they were hiking if he was sure he knew where they were going and if he really knew how to make a fire. They spent the night in the warming hut. In the morning they got up and had hot chocolate and bacon and scrambled eggs and donuts and then hiked the mile back out. As you can see, Tanner carried a real backpacking pack and Katie carried her Dora backpack. They had a great time.

Katie's 2nd day of Preschool

Katie was so cute on her 2nd day of school that I had to take more pictures of her. She loves this outfit. She picked it out herself.



1st Day of School 2008

It's back to school time. Tanner is in the 3rd grade. I can't believe he is that old. He has Mrs. Beckemeier this year.





Katie gets to go to teacher Barbara this year. She is a lady in our stake who teaches preschool and she is wonderful. All the kids love her.

Random Cute Pictures From the Family Reunion

Tanner and Kathleen mowing the lawn at Grammy and Pompa's house.

Katie and Kathleen in the dress up clothes. Grammy has an awesome dress up box. She has saved all of Jessy and my old dance outfits from when we were little.


Concert in the Park (or Grammy and Pompa's backyard)

This guy in our stake named Cory Jenkins came and gave us a little concert in my mom and dad's backyard on Monday night. He sings and plays his guitar. He sings fun children's songs about animals and going to school. He also juggles. He even juggled fire. It was awesome.






Pool Time

Monday afternoon we went swimming in our pool. The kids had a lot of fun because uncle Jon is so strong and can throw them really high.
