Live and Learn???????

Well what do I say. Saturday Chelsie was in her 1st car accident. As you can tell it was a pretty bad accident. She was trying to cross from Target to the mall. That pretty well tells the story. It was one of the scariest calls I could recieve. She is ok. She got a fat lip from the air bag and a few burns on her arms, but she is ok and that is what really matters. She did have a couple of friends with her, but luckily they were ok as well. We are not sure what we are going to do with the car. It appears to be totalled. For right now we are car pooling and we will have to see what happens. Chelsie thinks I should title this one Holy crap it may be more fitting. We still love her, she just can't ever drive again. :)

1st day of school

Oh Gosh they are growing up a little to fast for me. Today was the 1st day of school for the kids. It is a bit of a change for Syd and Jayden. Jayden is in Middle School this year which was very hard for me to see him going to a bigger school. Syd is my only one in elementary now. Since we live in Rigby now they both had to leave Falls Valley and all of their friends. It was a bit scary for both of them, but also a little excitting. The schools in Rigby have a ton of kids and a lot of them are new so it will give them a chance to make some new friends. Once we are moved in Jayden and Sy will be able to walk to the schools. Whitney started high school this year. Another scary, sad moment for me. Her and Chelsie will drive into Idaho Falls to go to Hillcrest. We did not make them switch schools. It is crazy how fast they grow up.

No braces

Whitney got her braces off about a week before school starts. I thought she looked pretty cute with braces on, but hew smile is even better now.

Syd Jeanne

Our little Syd Jeanne was baptized on Saturday the 4th. It was a very special day. She is our last one to be baptized so it was a little emontional for me. Mom had her dress made for her in the Philippines. She looked so beautiful. Kimmy and Mindy were in town so they were able to join us. Kris and her kids were also here. We had a great time getting together. We can't wait until the whole family will be able to be together again. We were a little emotional with mom and dad being gone, but we know why they are gone and know that the blessing out way the sadness.

Table Rock

The girls and Sonny hiked Table Rock for the girls camp hike. The girls said they nearly died, but they lived. It is suck a hard hike. They left at 4:00 am and did not get back home until around 6:30 that night. They all said it was a very pretty hike. I am not sure that they would be willing to do it again, but maybe. I am pretty darn proud of them.

24th of July

This year Kris and her kids and all of my kids went to Utah for the 24th of July to spend some time with Granny J. We really did have a good time and we enjoyed

visiting with Granny J. As you can tell the kids did not enjoy the parade as much.
