New Dresses From Grandma

The girls got new dresses in the mail from grandma today. She got home recently from a trip to Mexico and sent the girls these dresses. They were so excited when they got home from school and saw the packages. Of course they had to put them on as soon as they opened them, and have a little fashion show. Thanks grandma for the new dresses.

First Day of School

I can't believe that the Summer vacation is officially over. The twins started first grade and McKenzie started fourth grade today. They were so excited to be back in school (for some silly reason I don't understand) I guess they really missed their friends. McKenzie was so excited to start school today she told me she was awake at 5:00 am. They were bathed, dressed, had eaten breakfast, did their chores and was ready to go out the door by 8 o' clock (even though school doesn't start till 9 am.) Too bad I couldn't have gotten them to do that all Summer. Kaylie and Rylie are in the same class this year, but their desks are not by each other. Their teachers name is Mrs. Broderick. I was super impressed that when we went to meet her yesterday she remembered that Kaylie and Rylie are twins even though they were not together. Kaylie and Rylie were excited to pack a lunch today even though pizza was on the menu. They wanted to see what it was like to pack a lunch. Ha, ha.
I can't believe that McKenzie is in the 4th grade. She makes me feel old. Her teachers name is Mrs. Pardew. This is her first year at the school. McKenzie was really excited to get her. She came to the school last fall and talked to the kids and told them that her interests were BYU football and disney princesses. McKenzie came home and told me this was the teacher she wanted because they had the same interests.
I hope the girls have a great year this year. I love you girls!!

Here fishy, fishy, fishy

We went to our property on Sunday afternoon for a hot dog and some good ole' family time. We always love to spend time together as a family and the girls especially love it when they get to go fishin' with dad. Time in the mountains are so peaceful and quiet. The girls always love to be dads "huntin pals" and had to help dad shoot his bow and then climb the mountain to retrieve the arrows. We are so thankful for our property in the mountains and that we have the opportunity to go there as a family and spend some good quality time.
