Bucket of Crawdads- Karissa had a blast catching these.

Abby spent the entire day building sand castles

Cynthia and I spent alot of time in the shade- just relaxing

Jaidyn loved splashing her feet in the water

I brought a little blow up pool for Jaidyn to play in.

Missing my Honey!

Barry left yesterday to go to Alaska for 15 days! We are all ready missing him. Jaidyn was walking around the house last night saying dadadadadadada..... it was so cute yet so sad. This will be a nice vacation for Barry and a very busy 2 weeks for the rest of our family, our schedule goes something like.....
get Logan up @ 5:30 to get ready for seminary
seminary- 6:30 (thanks Noble for driving him!)
get Laton up @ 6:30- he leaves for school @7:10- Lisa Voightlander and I are carpooling
I forgot to mention- it never fails- Jaidyn gets up when Logan does- so she is under my feet all morning- luckily she is a happy baby and for the most part entertains herself.
Meghan gets up @ 7:15 and I take her to school @ 8:35
Pick Laton up @ 2:07
Pick Meghan up @ 3:15
Pick Logan up @ 4:45
Take Laton to Football from 5:00-7:15
Take Meghan to cheer from 5:00-6:00
Home @ 7:30- dinner- baths-scriptures-prayers-bed! WHEW!!!
So to say the least we will not be bored while Barry is gone- but very busy! I am going to start working out again finally! I would like to lose 5 lbs. while Barry is gone. Most people have a baby and start to lose weight! Not me- I came home from the hospital with maybe 2 lbs. to lose and over the next 6 months gained 5- go figure! I don't know why they call it losing weight- to lose something is to misplace with hopes of finding- I don't want to lose it I want to say good riddens to that 5 lbs. and could care less if I ever see it again :) So, I am going to get myself back into shape! My kids are going to be sick of chicken and vegetables by the time Barry gets home!

Goodbye to the Ross Family! :(

We will miss the Ross Family!

Arm Wrestling with Aunt Cynthia

This is Dakota, Logans friend, smiling as Logan kicked my butt in arm wrestlingCynthia beat Dakota - He gave it a good try though
Cynthia almost beat Logan- he pulled through after about 3 minutes.

She barely beat Meghan :)

She let Laton think he could win, before taking him down.

Who would think this tiny 53 year old grandma could be so strong?

Wrestling with Dad

Barry likes to occasionally remind everyone in the house that he is still the king. I don't think it will be long before Logan gives him a real run for his money.

Sunday Naps!

Jaidyn and her Sunday afternoon naps. She rarely makes it home

from church awake.

Football---- Football and a little Cheer

First Day of School :) :(

Today is the first day of school for our children. I feel sad and happy at the same time. I will miss them dearly during the day, but am thankful that they will be learning the things they need to know. I love having my children home, but know that they need to go to school. It seems like we just got out for the summer and now they are returning to the school year. The time seems to go much to quickly. This is when I tell myself that it is o.k. because we have eternity to spend together!!

I didn't get any pictures of Logan as he was out the door at 6:15 for seminary. I barely had time to make him a lunch and tell him I loved him! Then it was Latons turn to get ready for middle school. Last but not least it was Meghans turn. My schedule for the kids will be busy to say the least! Logan goes to seminary @ 6:30 everyday. Laton goes to middle school which starts @ 7:30 and Meghan is at Riverview Elementary which starts @ 8:50. Then..... Laton gets out @ 2:07, Meghan gets out @ 3:15 and Logan gets done with football practice @4:30. Laton has football from 5:00-7:00 and Meghan has cheer from 5:00-6:00. WHEWW!!! I didn't mention that Meghans school is about a 12 minute drive from the middle/high school and they all practice at different places! I do look forward to all the fun football games though. Later I will post pictures from the first scrimmage games they had!
