lil turkeys

 We sure love these turkeys- and the turkeys we made for Thanksgiving

Sam and Dia come!

Sam and Dia came for the weekend and we tried to make the best of it.  We went on some hikes, picked raspberries, and had a good time

Alpine Loop hike

Mac lost interest in the raspberries, but found interest in the goat

Happy #6 Jensy

Our little Jensy turned 6! We managed to spread out her Birthday over a week or so.  She was very excited about it, and planned everything out.  She wanted to go to McDonalds for lunch, then the surprise store (aka Dollar Store), and Jamba Juice after school, and 

Chucky Cheese for dinner.  And a huge bonus, Sam and Dia came for the weekend!

Grandma and Grandpa Lemon stopped by to give her a present

She was not to happy with the Birthday song?? She was screaming!

first day of School

The girls started at a new school this year because of a zone change.  They are now Alta View Road Runners.  And Jensy started the dual immersion program.  Maissie has Mrs. Johnson who has been teaching for 30 years, and Jens had Srta Iglesias, her Spanish teacher from Barcelona, and Mrs. Conklin her English teacher who has been teaching for 30 years. The school is old and a little stinky, but it seems like the staff and faculty are great.

silly kids

Silly Jens tried on Mac's PJs.  Funny thing is they were not too small.

home made

We had some success with our garden this year! Yeah! It is one of the perks to living in Utah. I even got some flowers to grow.

End of Summer Fun

We spent the last weekend before school started at Trafalga and roasting marshmallows in the back yard

Da Zoo

We made our last trip of the summer to the zoo.  Only, we spent more time in the splash area than anywhere else.

Hiking with Auntie Em, Ben, Sophie and Grandma

Auntie Em was in Utah for her 20 yr class reunion.  We were happy to see them, and took advantage by taking them on a hike!

The kids were troopers, even Mac in his boots

Garrett gets MARRIED!!

Garrett Married Anna!! And we got to be there.  It was so beautiful.  I was stressen, because we did not get home from Lagoon the night before until about 1am, and had to be dressed and gone by 730 the next morning.  But we made it! We spent the morning in Logan, and then the reception was in Ogden.

The happy couple

 The kids had to wait for us during the sealing at the temple.

We were so happy to be a part of this special day.  We had a great lunch, then killed time seeing the movie Epic before the reception.
