One afternoon while the other kids were at school, I asked the girls if they wanted to help me make cookies. They were all for it!! They were good little helpers!

I can't believe it is already time for school to start again. Where did summer go? But it will be nice to get back on a schedule again. It will be weird to have just Brielle at home everyday!
My Cute kids on the first day of school. They were all so excited!
We went up to our family reunion upat Island Park. It was so pretty, and the weather was perfect. It even rained on us a couple nights. I loved being in the cabin and listening to the rain hit the tin roof and the loud thunder up in the mountains. Especially the fresh mountain air. It was so nice to leave the 110' weather here and go up and cool off. It was so much fun to be able to see all my family and visit with them.
Me and Brielle watching the fish swim in the water. She loved it!!
Feeding the fish,birds and ducks at Big Springs.
Dipping our feet in at Big Springs. It is a natural spring, so the water was freezing. It was fun to see who could put their feet in the longest. It felt nice and refreshing!!
Taking off our shoes, to put our feet in the water.

Me and Brett, 4th of July 2010
During the day we went swimming with all of Brett's best friends and their wife and kids at Jessica Mcallister's parents house in Stone Cliff. We had a BBQ and then swimming all afternoon. It was fun to see everyone and all their cute kids.
Here are all the kids waiting in there seats to watch the fireworks with their cousins! Every year we go to Grandma Elaine's and watch them light off the fireworks from the sunbowl. It is a perfect place to watch them cause it is only 2 blocks down from the sunbowl, so you can still hear all the music and entertainment that they do.
Kes and Brielle enjoying the fourth of July with their cousins!
A week after school got out, we went down to Vegas and stayed in a timeshare. The kids had so much fun Swimming. Since it was there first time swimming in awhile. The pools were very nice and had waterfalls they loved to go under. They were the perfect temperature.
Even Brielle loved swimming! For awhile she was kind of afraid of water, but not anymore! She jumped into the pool to me over and over again.
Kesley just adores her little cousin Dax! He is such a happy baby, and is always smiling. She loves to hold him and make him smile at her.
Here they are swimming in the water. They are little fish. Makayla has done so good swimming this year. She swims by herself without her floaties on and just loves to go under water!!
We went to the Bass pro shop. It was amazing. It makes Cabella's look small. They had a huge aquarium with big fish and sting rays in it, then they have mermaids swim down in it every hour. They loved having the fish swim right up to them.
Brielle watching daddy and Kesley doing the shooting range.
Doing the shooting range, we had fun hanging out with my parents down there. The kids loved being with grandma and grandpa. We met up with Marsha and Russ their and went back to the timeshare and swam some more. It was nice to start the summer off with trip down to Vegas!
I got an email from Kesley's school that said she would be getting some awards in their school assembly. So instead of telling Kesley about it, I wanted to surprise her instead. So I called my parents and told Brett about it, and we all showed up at the assembly. She saw us their and was surprised. She didn't know she was going to get some awards.
Brielle, Makayla, and Corben had fun seeing all the kids at her school and watching Kesley get her awards.
Kesley received 2 awards. The first one was for "First in Math", she got 4th place in the whole school for doing the most math problems. She did 5,300 math problems. The second award she got was she received 80% or higher on her subjects in the end of level testing. She does such an awesome job in school. We are so proud of you Kes!!
I was glad she was looking over at us for a picture. She had a great teacher this year, that she really liked. I can't believe the school year is already over!!
