Back to School

Well Summer's over.. well sort of.. The kids headed back to school !! School started this year on Aug 6.. The girls were all excited!! Especially Autumn.. She stared 7th grade!!! What that means is.... Jr. High!! Ashlyn will be in the 5th grade, her teacher is Mr. Ranus.. Alexis will be in the 5th grade this year, her teacher is Mrs. Brainard.. we are looking forward to a great school year!! As you notice Andrew is missing from these pictures.. he is a Jr in High School and he leaves for school @ 615am.. that is just way early!! I just can't believe that school has started again.. and I have kids in High School and Jr High!! They are growing up SO fast.. but they each are so wonderful to me!!
Autumn.. the 7th grader
Ashlyn.. the 5th grader

Alexis... the 4th grader

Sisters... are the best!!
Happy are we...
Don't forget to SMILE...

Camping is FUN!!

We went camping on the 1st weekend of August.. or as the kids pit it.. "the last week-end B4 school starts".. We had a lot of FUN!! It rained at least once a day.. but we managed to still have fun!! It was Kylee's 1st camping trip. she did very good, but i think she was ready to go home at the end..
Here we are getting ready to play a game of cards.. we are all looking SO good..

Kylee loved looking at the fire. she feel asleep just sitting there that 1st night..
Ginger, Kylee & Colin.. looking at the fire..

Here we all are playing forest golf.. a few of us did pretty good.. but i was NOT one of them..Go Chris aim for that tree !!

You can tell that Jason has done this b4.. we are all trying to learn from him..
Jodi did a great job golfing.. she did the best of all the girls.. even the little girls had to watch!!

If you could not find Autumn.. she was most likely reading her new book.. Breaking Dawn..
Alexis holding Kylee, and Ashlyn making sure every thing was OK..
