 The Jr. High Carpool Group

 Part of the elementary car pool group.

Walt and Brock just wanted to go home.

 Getting back on a routine of long school days was 

a big adjustment for this boy.

He was great at school, but the melt downs

for weeks after school was no fun!

Thank goodness he's so cute!

 Jane and mom's first day of Preschool.
One in Preschool.

August Misc.

We had a major wind storm and it blew down

two of our huge backyard trees.

One tree landed on our basketball hoop and broke it.

 Daisy got this spa face mask.

 Mom tried some new hair styles on Daisy.

 Jane proud of her nursery picture.

The teacher said she tried and tried to get 

her to smile for it, but did not succeed.

Besides teaching preschool this year

I'm also doing an in home Day Care.

Carsen & Jane shopping with me.

 Carsen, Stratton & Jane playing

while Daisy is at her orthodontist app.

Palisade State Park

We stopped at Cove Fort on our way.

This is where President Gorgon B. Hinckley lived as a boy.

Max had actually just visited here when he was on Trek.

No germs can live on a salt lick.

So a couple of the kids tried it out.

Daisy said the wind was blowing perfect for a modeling shot.

We both tried it out.

As you can see, Daisy is way more natural at it than her mom.

At the campsite at Palisade State Park.

When we arrived we headed straight to the reservoir.

All the kids, oldest to youngest.

Skipping rocks.

Max tries skipping a rock. Hahaha!

Hanna skips a rock.

Much better Max

We got up early and were the first on the water.

It was so beautiful and peaceful.

Slow motion video

All SEVEN kids on the dock.

 Awesome picture of Daisy jumping in!

 Jane trying to do a handstand like Daisy.

 Daisy, Clark & Jane

 I love taking the kids on the paddle boat.

We took Max and Hanna to do Baptisms in the Manti, UT temple.

I stayed outside the temple with the rest of the kids.

I love the Manti Temple.

On our drive home we drove by the new

Cedar City, UT Temple.

When we got home we found out the electricity
was out for the entire neighborhood.
The house was hot, so the kids jumped in the pool.
