Cute as a bug on a rug!!!


BRETT IS 8!!!

He and his friend went to the NASA day at the science museum, it was a busy full day for Dad, who went on this adventure with 6 kids alone. What a trooper.

So it took a few months, but it is finally finished. We have hauled Josh's rusty childhood bike with us on every move since Taft, and here she is all shined up. The bike is a stingrayII from 1983. Marron was thrilled to ride it and even bought the seat with her own Birthday money.

So the first day of school was Paige's 5th B-Day! She thought that everyone was at school just for her party.....works for me!!

Here they all are lined up for the first day....so cute!!

We had promised a family back packing trip and finally did it. This is us at the top of our 3 mile hike.

This was actually taken just before we left. The kids each carried their own sleeping bag and jacket. It was cold that night, but we brought the small tent to help conserve heat, and had 3 dogs sleeping with us. Joshua actually slept without a blanket! Good times.
