August II

After a long weekend we decided to take a day and go swim, and play in Jackson Hole. We had so much fun. This is definately one of my favorite family day vacations. Hailee loved the slides as did Nic. We hit all the hot spots: The pool, candy store, the Harley Store, The Antlers, and Windys.

Hailee and Cheri came and helped in my classroom a little bit over the vacation. Cheri and I were constantly chasing Hailee around picking up after her. She was having a great time taking my room apart. I was pretty nervous that it would never come together, but it did. Here I am about 4 days into school and things are smoothing out.Curt also turned 25 this month. He had a pretty good birthday, he always does. I bought him Sirus Radio that he can use this fall when he will be working so much. He is going to be doing custom farming this fall and again in the spring. We are really excited and nervous about this job. I will miss him a lot because he will only be home on Sundays until November, but it is a better environment. He is also going to be able to work on our farm a lot easier with so much time off in the winter and summer. The Skype will be nice so he doesn't get bored!

Happy Birthday Babe!!!

I love you!!!

That is our August in a nutshell. Many things have kept us busy and Hailee is still our forever entertainment. We are back into school and Hailee is back to Misty's. She is already in the groove and loves Alison as much as ever.

Hope you are excited for a great fall and much more news to come from our wonderful life!

It's August what???

So sorry for such a long time since a post. I know that many of you rely heavily on the daily know-how of our awesome little family!

Anyway....

August has been filled with Birthdays, Reunions, more Birthdays, baby showers, getting ready for school, and job changes! We have been busy and that in turn results in little time and ENERGY to blog!


August started out with a HUGE bang when my Grandpa Orville turned 80 and had a big shindig at his house. We had tons of family full of all of my favorite cousins and twice removed relatives! I took tons of pictures in hopes of creating a memory book for my grandparents, but I have yet to have the energy to upload them. In fact I got pictured out and haven't turned on my camera for a long time!

Most of these pictures were given to me by my amazing sister-in-law Cheri!

Anyway right after the shindig we came home to get ready for Curt's sisters to visit. Cheri and Christina were both coming and we couldn't WAIT!

That next weekend was Curt's sibling reunion. It was really short, but hey we got together and had a little fun right?

This picture is really neat with the dark clouds. We had some crazy weather, but it didn't stop the horse rides!

The above picture demonstrates our idea of reunion perfectly. Some people talk, others listen, some sleep, and yet others ignore everyone! A BLAST!!!!For most of the reunion the kids were riding around on something. The four-wheelers were a big hit. Now this is what I call monitoring your child. We actually never locked her in, but she always wanted to get in it!

More to come, but right now I have a baby crying!!!
