Busy Time Again!

 

I forgot to take pictures of the 1st day of school, so this is the most recent family picture and I am going to talk about everybody! Fall is such a great time, but it also gets really hectic keeping up with everyone's schedules. I have started teaching clogging again (we take the summers off) It's awesome excercise and it keeps me from being bored! Dave is coaching Saydee's soccer team and Braden's Travel ball team, he is still in the bishopric. Haley loves 8th grade! She is now 5'9" wow! She Clogs in 4 different classes, dances, plays soccer and volleyball just in the fall. Braden is playing travel baseball and loves the 6th grade. He is liking his teacher and has fun friends in his class. He is the style monitor, Haley never was that way! Saydee is in the 5th grade. She just had a perm in her hair and she loves it. Everybody says it looks like Taylor Swift, that is what she is going for! She of course Dances and Clogs (3 classes) and we talked her into playing soccer one more year. She's good but she doesn't love it! Bryce is in the 3rd grade, one of the youngest in the class. He is playing soccer and helping grandpa Johnson. He has 2 other cousins in his same school class - the 3 musketeers! Brentlee is loving the kids being at school. She gets mom all to herself. She pretty much plans the day, park, Swimming, etc... She loves to swim and jump off the diving board. She amazes all that watch her, she usually goes off about 40 times, she yells "CANDYBAR" (instead of cannonball) I don't know what I will do when the pool closes starting in September, AHHH! Life is good, I can not complain! I have great kids and a wonderful husband, I feel so very blessed. And if you'll notice the old rock church in our picture we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place!

Dancing Girls

 

This was taken in May, I ran across it today and thought I would post it. I love this picture, it shows the different levels. I can't believe Haley and Saydee use to be the same size of Brentlee. They all love to dance, they must take after Me!

So many events!

 

A lot has happened the last month. I loved this picture because I can talk about 3 of them! Grandpa Evans turned 91 on July 3rd. He is such an awesome man, he is fun to be around and my kids love him. Grandma Evans Celebrated her 87th birthday on July 27th. We had cake and Ice cream at her house. She would have preferred a Dance but she enjoyed herself. Grandma has such a sweet personality and we all love her! Bryce turned 8 on July 15th! He had a party out back and we set up the big waterslide my mom had bought for a family reunion. He was baptized a member of the church on Aug. 2nd and confirmed on Aug. 3rd in Sacrament meeting. We had a dinner at our house after church. Bryce had a lot of great support from grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends.

Saydee got her ears pierced!

 
Dave finally gave into at least 5 years of pleading from Saydee! She won the battle in Denver and got her ears pierced at a claire's store. She was so excited! Dave had told her she was waiting until she was 12 but she had some pretty good reasoning and Dave didn't know how to combat that!

Denver Vacation

 

Our vacation to Denver Colorado was Awesome! We stayed with my Aunt & Uncle, Helen and Larry Turnbaugh. She fed us awesome and we had a great time hanging out with all of her kids, luckily everyone was in town! Dave played wuffle (?) ball while I shopped for the kids school clothes. We went to a few water parks and a fun b.b.q at Crystal and Seths. We could have stayed a few more weeks, we love hanging out with the Turnbaughs - they're the greatest!
