Labor Day Fun

Below is a slideshow of our trip last weekend to see my brother Adam, his wife Elida and their boys Diego, Ezra, and Alan. Not sure why Weezer showed up on the slideshow, oh well. Anyway, we had such a fun time with them. We did a lot of swimming, went out to see some tanks, found a couple geo-caches, and just had a terrific time being together. Jessi and Alan were 2 peas in a pod and were inseparable. All the kids had a great time together. They couldn't get enough of the pool and being with their cousins and despite the intense heat and the large sign telling us NOT to climb on the tanks we obviously enjoyed ourselves a great deal. And hunting for geo-caches are a first for us. Adam and his boys search for them all the time. So we enjoyed that new adventure. Thanks Adam and Elida for a super time!

First Day of School

First day of school line up: Brayton 5th grade, Ethan 4th, Orion 2nd, Meri 1st. Jessi also started pre-school. The kids all like their teachers so that is a huge blessing. It was nice to not be starting a new school this year also. I always get kind of sad to see the summer end. We had so much fun this summer. I enjoy the kids so much - they are a lot of fun. But I must say it is quite peaceful around the house! not to mention, the house actually stays clean for a while without everyone here to mess it up all day!

And yes, we are expecting a new baby early next April. We are thrilled, the kids are excited and were quite surprised when we told them. A new adventure! p.s. we are not going to China next summer. :) Don't you love my husband's sense of humor.
