First day of kindergarten

Hollie started kindergarten today. I have been a little worried because she has been saying the last couple of days that she doesn't want to go. She doesn't do well with change. When we got to the school she had a hold of my arm and wouldn't let it go until she saw the swings. Then it was time to line up and she clung to me again. I walked with her to her classroom and went inside but didn't want to sit with everyone else. The teacher came and pryed (sp?) her off of me and said go ahead she will be ok. Hollie started crying and I walked away. I cried the whole way home!

My dad came over last night to give Hollie a blessing. (We always got one the night before we started another year of school)

The first thing Hollie wanted to know is if they had swings at her school. She found them right away before school started.

She would not let me take a picture of her from the front. Maybe tomorrow. This is the only one i got with her backpack on.

I guess she had a good day! She was asleep before we even got out of the parking lot.

Got Pictures?

Fish Lunch with the missionaries

We were able to meet Elder Hall's parents at Fish Lake this past week. They took us fishing and we had to bring back the fish we caught with them and share. I think he was a little homesick. Sorry Elder Hall. (he goes home in 3 months. They both do actually). He helped us fry the fish.

Digging in. I even tried it. sorry not my thing.

Trevor even tried it. He didn't like it either.

My mom has a missionary wall at her house. I'm gonna start one too. The elders came over tonight and taught our family the third discussion. We love our elders and the spirit they bring to our house.

Fish Lake Utah (warning..ton of pictures)

Our family this past week had a family reunion at Fish Lake Utah. We stayed in little cabins. We had so much fun. This is the kids in front of our little cabin.

Driving the boat

enjoying the boat

Trevor loved to touch the worms. They even liked to put their feet in the freezing cold water.

this is Elder Hall's (from our ward) family. His mom and Hollie. Elder Hall said his parents were gonna be at Fish Lake the same time we were so he told us how to find them and we did. They took us out on their boat and with them we caught all the fish. Thank you Hall family. We had soooo much fun.

Trevor loved to touch them.

Here is my BIG fish. One of Lance's many catches

trevor caught one and Hollie caught one.

Trevor loved to pull the rope up to make sure all the fish were still there.

Loving the boat ride. Lance had two at one time.

Final result. 15 fish all together.

Lance learned how to fillet the fish. Yuck!

First day fishing. The kids each got their very own pole.

Us at the lake

I got the award for catching the "BIGGEST" fish na na na na na na Lance. Lance got the award for catching the "MOST" Fish

Kindergarten

Hollie starts kindergarten August 25 and I have no clue what to get her as supplies. I am gonna get her a backpack but not sure what she will need. I don't want to spend a ton but want to make it exciting for her. HELP me out all you pros out there with school aged kids.

What's for lunch?

I saw this idea today. Looks disgusting but i think I'm gonna try it!
If you want to try it, just stick dry spaghetti noodles through hot dogs and boil. I thought about adding a sauce, but I think the kids would see that as detracting from the fun.
