He is the gift

15 year Anniversary

Lee was very generous with me this year. I did help pick out the ring. :) It is gorgeous and I love it! 

 He also sent me this beautiful flower arrangement.

I can't imagine my life without him. I love you Lee!

First day of School!

School started August 25th. I think everyone was ready for it to start up again! 

Kale is in 3rd grade this year. He is officially the last kid in elementary school. Holy cow! Time has gone by so fast! He really likes his teachers, and of course recess. His favorite subject is math. He also is a great reader and he loves to swim.

Mara started 6th grade this year. She is now in middle school!! She was excited and a little nervous to switch classes and have a bunch of teachers, but she is doing really well. She is taking choir and really likes it. Her favorite subject is science. 

Carson is in 8th grade this year. Last year before high school! He is growing up so fast. He now shares a school with his sister and they ride their bikes to school together. He is always a great student. He continues taking the cello, and his favorite subject is math. 

Braces!!!

Mara got her braces on this summer! She will be having great fun with them. Haha. :)

4th of July Parade

We had a great time at the parade! The kids got treats and even time with the Chic-fil-a cow.:)

We went to the parade with our neighbors from across the street, the Paynes.

Kale had chance to sit on one of the Kiwanis club cars .

Idaho Trip 2014

We went to Idaho this summer, and had a blast!! We enjoyed the beautiful views and scenery, as well as the cooler temps. The kids loved staying at the farm and riding the four wheelers. We also went to Yellowstone and Bear world while there.

Kale's second grade did the living museum presentation before school let out. Kale was President Thomas Jefferson. He did great memorizing his part and love dressing up!

Carson recieved several awards for academic excellence this year. One in math, and health. Plus he earned A's all year. 

This was Kale's teacher this year, Mrs. King.

Some of Kale's buddies. :) Braden and Clark.

Wolves Raingutter Regata 2014

We had a raingutter regata in the wolf den this spring. The boys had a blast! Each was able to make their own boat, and race them. It also took skill from the boys on how they blew on the boat!

Kale was able to win 2nd place with his boat. He was very excited. I know his shorts don't match, but that is actually his swimsuit. We had just come from swim team practice. :)

Proud winner!!!

Mara's choir field trip

Mara is in choir and they had the chance to Theater Under the Stars for a field trip. Here they are learning a dance from the professionals.

Here is Mara at the wall of shows.
