We Had quite the summer this year and had the most wonderful experience of Hosting an Exchange student for the summer....Her name was Natalie or Natasha as she liked to be called and she was from Russia...It was really sad to see her leave last weekend especially on her birthday...We love and miss you Natalie we will definately keep in touch....

Off to school we go.....

The kids all headed off to school this week, and boy was that an adjustment for me...one we were used to only one riding the bus last year now all of them but jamisyn(I drive her) ride a bus...and all of the stops are at
different
places and they all come
home throughout the day...but Abigayl is the one who is having the hardest time going from many to play w/ to just MOMMY...as you can see by the pic of She spends alot of time here...LOL but they are all adjusting to their new schools and are having a blast so far...we will keep you posted on accomplishments throughout the year...

WAY TO GO ZACH AND MICHELLE!!!!

We went to the Rock n Roll marathon this weekend to support our nieghbors and a good cause...it was really a good time and I look forward to maybe run/walking the half marathon next year...shon would like to run the whole marathon...

This is how to get to the bottom of a BIG hill....

At the end of the day we were headed down the hill and we decided to race down the hill, guess who beat all of us down????

A day at MT. Trashmore

We took the opportunity this weekend to pack in alot of FUN before heading back to school, we went to Mt. Trashmore w/ our neighbors joe and Julie and boy was it alot of fun the temperatures were perfect and blue skies w/ just a few clouds in the sky...we just took pizza and drinks, our kites and skooters and spent the remainder of our day/evening there Kites are so much fun....
