1st day of 1st grade...

I can't believe we have a first grader! Parley is such a good boy and we are so proud of him. i know he will love first grade. He was so ready! He is reading great, writing great (but definitely has boy handwriting :))

He loves to play the wii and loves to play with his friends. we are all praying that some little boys will move into our new neighborhood! Love you Parley have a great year!

 I did shed a few tears but was so excited and happy for him! can't believe he is gone all day now forever!

Mabes at 5 months

 Love this little thing to pieces. She loves her baby food. Loves to play with little toys, is taking great naps, finally is starting to sleep good at night! She can scoot herself across a whole room on her back. love her!

Ranch trip #2..

we were supposed to head up to the cabin in Stanley Idaho but because of a fire that was burning and is still burning pretty close to the cabin we shifted directions and went to the ranch in fairview again. we had a ton of fun. the kids love going there. We purchased a little four wheeler just before the trip and all the kids were able to learn to drive it and they all loved it!

 we drove into fairview on sunday to go to church and it must have been stake conference because there was noone to be seen. so we drove up to manti and let the kids see the temple. it was fun
