Whit--The Tough Chick

Last night was my nephew Nathan's birthday party. There were about 14 10-11 year old boys in James & Michelle's pool, plus Tanner & Taylor. Was Whitney scared? No! She didn't care about waiting for someone to get out of her way when she jumped off the diving board!

She didn't care if there were boys in her way when she wanted to go down the slide!

She may be small--but get out of her way!

Back To School

O.K., so school started last week. Did I take pictures of my kids on the first day of school----no. Am I a slacker?---yes! Do I care?---no! Taylor is now at Dixie Middle School. He walks to school with the neighbors. He is a little disappointed because he went to a nice brand new school last year and now he is in such a 'little' school. He is now one of the bratty kids that walk through my work parking lot on their way to lunch everyday! Ha! Ha!
Emily has started her last year of elementary---ruling the school as a big 5th grader at Heritage Elementary. Right next door to our horses and llamas and probably soon---pigs again. AAaagh!
I start school next Wednesday--yep my life isn't complicated enough--lets throw in some college classes--there will definately be no pictures on my first day of school!
Whitney doesn't start pre-school until September. She is really excited to go to Kiddie Garden Preschool around the corner! I think I will be prepared to take pictures of her! ha-

Where Did The Summer Go?

I can't believe summer is over already---granted we have been busy, but holy cow I can't believe school started today! I have been so unprepared! We spent all of last week in Steamboat Springs, Colorado for the Triple Crown World Series baseball tournament with Taylor. His team came in 2nd place in their bracket! We went to 10 baseball games in 6 days. Last Thursday, Taylor didn't have any games, so we decided to drive to Denver and went to 2 Colorado Rockies games. They were alot of fun and it was really neat to drive over the Rocky Mountains. Steamboat Springs is so beautiful. I really loved it. We stayed in the trailer about 15 miles up the mountain outside of Steamboat Springs. Our campground was up at 9300 feet in elevation. Talk about beautiful! (There were a lot of mosquitos too). It was a really neat experience. I would love to go back!
