First day of School

Holy Cow I have a 4th grader!!!

Shaylee was so excited for the first day of school, she is really social and ready to catch up with all her friends.

Braden Is in 2nd Grade.

I asked him how the first day of school was and he said "Great " he is just so easy going.

Connor was so ready to go to the big school with his older brother and sister. He is pretty tough kid and very independent. So I thought this would be the first year I wont cry when I send my child to kindergarten. But as I went to leave him in Mrs. Simpson's class room tears welt up in his eye's. I held my cool till I got out side and then I started to cry. So much for the Idea of no tears it is just hard to let your little one go. TJ is in Pre. school. He walked in so cool and told his teacher "my name is Tyler" and it is but we have never called him that. He has always been know as TJ but if he wants to be called Tyler I guess we will call him that. but this will take some adjusting.

Star Vally Wyoming / Jackson Hole trip

This was the last hurrah of summer break. The first night we where at the cabin their was a meteor shower it was spectacular. shooting stars everywhere and you could see mars through the binoculars. Some of the fun things we did were ride four wheelers, ride the gondola up the Tetons, swim at the pool, go to the bar-J wranglers chuck wagon dinner,Play at a park and get faces painted at the fair. It was so fun to spend this time with family.

A fun picnic lunch at the new park with our friends the Fossum's

We Got together up in Midway with the Mom's and Kids. It was so fun to see all our great friends. The kids had fun playing at the cabin and walking around the homestead climbing to the top of the crater.

A Day drive up our beautiful American Fork Canyon

We walked around the Lake and then decided to take our shoes of and get wet.My boy has no fear so he walked far out in to the lake. He is lucky it was shallow.

Connor found a Fish head up at Tible Fork.

The Austin Family Reunion

This was the best skit, and I can not believe I got this Pitcher of Taylor in the air.

Watching fireworks on the forth of July. What a show Pleasant Grove put on.

Connor was so happy to watch the fireworks explode.

We had a great time at the new Lindon pool With our cousins.

Good time with some old friends. I am so grateful for technology to help get us in touch.

Matt took Braden with him to the Oregon on business They went to the coast saw sea lions, star fish, had fun playing in the waves. They also went to the the red wood forest and saw some of the biggest trees in the world. It was hard for me to have my little boy gone for 7 days. But I am glad he got to bond with is father.
