Homemade

Earlier in the summer I tie dyed some shirts for the kids. I meant to post pictures but forgot. Here are the best pics of the kids. If you want to see Will's shirt just look at his first day of school pics. It is his favorite shirt and he really wanted to wear it for picture day but it was dirty. P.S. Tie Dying is so much fun. Thank you Heidi for helping us make our cool clothes.


We also made these cute onesies to sell at the Farmer's Market in Rexburg.


We made homemade grape juice from 20 lbs of grapes that we picked from Drew's parents vine. You have to dilute it and add sugar but it really is yummy.

Girls Just Wana Have Fun!

This last weekend I went up to Drew's family cabin with 16 other ladies. It was so much fun and I didn't have any kids with me so I got to relax. Thanks girls for making it such a fun weekend.

The first thing we did was go for a 4 wheeler ride to pick some wild flowers and Natalie our resident florist did a wonderful job making beautiful arrangements.


Lots of the girls went home with acrylic nails compliments of Karalee.


It was so fun to hold my friends babies, because I didn't have Kate with me. I love Tessa's smile!


Some of the group. We took this picture after a couple of cars had left.

Painting Isabelle's Room

Last month when my sister Jeanette was here we painted Isabelle's room. Here are the before and afters. Well, I didn't take before pictures but you can at least see the blue flower wall paper in these.

Will's First Day of School

Will's first day of Kindergarten was Friday, August 21st. He got to ride the bus to school and home and when I asked him how his first day went he said "Great!" He is really enjoying school and likes his teacher. He goes to all day Kindergarten on Monday's, Wednesday's and every other Friday. It has been a big adjustment to not have him home on those days and Isabelle was pretty sad the first day but Kate is now getting old enough that they can play together. I can't believe how fast he has grown up.

Double Trouble

Isabelle has always liked to draw on the walls and so she thought it would be a good idea to teach Kate. Just a tip...Scrubbing Bubbles really works great at removing pencil.


Shhhhh don't tell Daddy!

Summer Fun!!!

It has been a long time since we last posted and that has to do with the busy summer we have had. At the end of July and beginning of August we hosted the Jones family reunion here in Rigby, Idaho. It was so much fun to see my family. We had a total of 50 people here. We rented a bus and we all rode up to Yellowstone together and we saw Old Faithful, a bear and tons of bison. We also went to the sand dunes and rode sleds down the hills, and spent a day at Rigby Lake. After the reunion was over some of us went up to Drew's family cabin and spent a few days up there. We went rafting down the snake and Drew and I both fell out on the biggest rapid. It was so much fun. My kids really miss all of there cousins and talk about them often. I finally feel like life is back to normal and that our routine is back in place. Here are some pics of our summer.
