Another year down...

Brielle's 1st grade class at the Pocatello zoo! Brielle & friends in front of the zoo sign.

Field Trip with the 3rd grade class: Bridger churning some butter...

Mixed emotions... I mean the school year is almost over & I don't have to continue the whole routine anymore! I can let the kids stay up late again! No homework for 3 hours straight after school anymore! No more making sure there are clean socks & underwear in the drawers! No more going into the school on Wednesdays to help in the classrooms. No school responsibilities.. PERIOD.. for the next 3 months! I can totally slack in the mother-department. I can lay out on the trampoline while my baby "jumps"... it is really an excuse to get a tan and if the bishop happens to drive by, he'll think we are just playing in the sprinklers. No sin there. I can let my kids wear the same clothes every day until Sunday when I make them take a proper bath (during the summer, Bear Lake serves as bathing grounds ... little sandy, but oh, well.) AAAHHHH! Can't wait! But here's where the mixed emotions come in... The house will be stinkin' messy for the next 3 months, too. Let's be real. The only time my house is really ever clean is when there is no one here! So, if everyone is gonna be home every day, you might as well expect a total pigsty. Messy, dirty, chaos. Who cares. I finally won't be inside to care. I'll be outside mowing the lawn, weeding something, begging my sod to grow, or anything else that lets me soak in the sun while we have it! I'll have the best farmer's tan there is. Well, besides my sister, Tracy. She's always the winner there. Anywhoo ~ I'm SO ready for summer!!! Yeah!

Kissy baby!

Whenever Brig gets tired, he gets REAL kissy. I mean, stick-to-your-face kissy! Last night, we were getting ready to put him in bed, and he was plastering us all with his "goodnight" kisses. And Kenna loved it! What a little love! This baby melts me...

Locks For Love...



Last weekend, Brooklyn went to my good friend, Amy Marlowe's house and got 8 inches of her hair cut off! Brooklyn has such thick & healthy hair, so I was nervous for her to get it cut short. But, she wanted a short and "sassy-new-do", so we let her go for it. Isn't she BEAUTIFUL?!?! And now her 8 inches of healthy, thick hair is being donated to make free wigs for cancer patients. She is following in the footsteps of several of her older cousins who did the same thing. I just love this little chicken-head! She is growing up too fast...

Family Reunion 2008!
