First Day of School

First day of school Wednesday Aug. 19. My kids have never been more excited. Coby jumped out of bed, and got dressed with his backpack on even before he ate breakfast. I asked him if he wanted to take his backpack off to eat. Coby is in 2nd grade, Taylor is in 5th. Their teachers are great, and I think it will be a great year. Adey wants to go to school with them, and I think they miss her too. Only 3 years and she will be able to go.

Happy Birthday to my dear friend.

I think we were 3yrs old in this picture. Brittney has been more like a sister than a friend. I love you, and hope you have the very best day you can. Well what's left of it after you wake up. Ha
Have a great birthday!!!!! P.S. You are old!!

Diamond Fork Campground

Adam and Taylor playing cards.

Our last camp trip before school. What a great time. We were told we missed a frog drownder rain storm at home. We just sat around the campfire watching the lightning all around with no rain. The kids were telling stories and jokes all night. They had to take numbers to talk. They loved making their Grandma, and Grandpa Stone laugh. The favorite of the night were Adams blond jokes. The next day it did rain for just a bit, so we played phase 10 in the trailer. We won't mention any names, but two of them were cheating. Taylor, and Tanner!! Then they got the boogie cheaters curse put on them. Tanner was convinced it was really a curse.

Here is Grandpa Stone with all the Stone grandsons.

Adey had to have her new boots on first thing in the morning!

Brotherly Love

My boys really wanted these transformers from the store the other night. I told them that I would buy them, and as soon as they earned enough to pay me back, they could have them.
Right away they asked for things to do, they were even nice to each other. (that was totally worth it)
Anyway, they both earned about $10.00 yesterday, and they needed $12.00. Coby found $2.00 in his shorts pocket that we had washed. He was so excited!!! Then he realized that Taylor didn't have enough. Instead of giving me the $2.00 and being able to open his transformer, he handed Taylor $1.00, and kept $1.00 for himself. Taylor said, "you can't get your transformer if you give me this." I know, he said but neither could you. Taylor gave him back the dollar, and told him to open his transformer.

My heart just swells!! I am so proud of them everyday!

Summer catch up

What a great summer we have had! Camping, swimming, parades, girls camp. It has really been fun! The most exciting news this summer is Adam and Tiffany are engaged!!!! I am so excited to have such an awesome sister in law. Congratulations to them!!!

This is our first pool party.

It rained so much in June, that it just flew by. We decided to go to Fish Lake for the 4th of July. We were so glad when Adam and Tiffany wanted to go with us. We sure missed her kids though.

It rained the first day there. It was so beautiful

My kids are not ready to share their Uncle Adam!!!

The next day, we rented a pontoon boat. Someday I hope to own one of these!! Top speed on this particular boat... 7 mph. It was perfect for us!



Ya, I think we will make Fish Lake a tradition for the 4th.

Speaking of tradition, Cherry Hill with Matt's Family.

I'm sad that I only got my camera out the last day. Every year right before the park closes, Matt, Corey, and myself try to go down a certain water slide as many times as we can. I have to say this year was the funniest. The water was quite cold, and we were tired from being out all day. At one point I was laughing so hard, I could not get out of my tube at the bottom. It was a great time once again!! Well that's enough for now, I still have quite a bit more to share. I have to pace myself. Ha ha . Hope everyone had as much fun as I did this summer!
