Vising in Hannah Montana!

We pulled the kids out of school and boarded a plane to Missoula, Montana! Our awesome friends the Dry's live in Missoula on the Blackfoot River. We hadn't seen them in awhile and tickets were $60 each round trip so we decided it was time to pay them a visit. We had such a blast playing, hanging out, fly fishing, riding the carousel, finding elk carcasses, seeing Todds helicopter and just being with good friends. The trip was one that will be remembered for a lifetime. We miss you Todd, Tammie, Owen and Wyatt!!!

Jack is learning how to swim!

With the big kids in school, we decided to give Jack some swim lessons on his non-preschool days. He LOVES the water and by the end of his first 8 lessons he was completely water safe! By lesson 10 he was swimming! Now he can jump off the side and swim over half way across the pool! His first teacher was Miss Andrea and then he switched to Mr. Josh. HE and Mr. Josh have a blast playing during lessons.

First Day of School (again)

Every summer must come to an end to usher in the new school year. Josh starts 3rd grade and Mimi starts 2nd and little Jack starts preschool. Although it is bittersweet to say goodbye to summer days and welcome the new school days, it is a fun day to get all dressed up and see your friends and new teachers. Josh has Mrs. Windes, Mimi has Ms Weidetz and Jack has Mrs. Johnson. What a great year this will be! Mommy bette be on her toes to keep up with this new schedule!

Troys 20th High School Reunion

How does life pass by so quickly that you are 20 years out of high school, married, kids, career, etc.? Wow!!!! Troy just had his 20th High School Reunoin this summer. What a fun night! It was great for Troy to reconnect with some of his high school friends and nice for me to be able to meet some of these people that he tells memories about.

Family Reunion

We spent our 11th anniversary in Washington! We took the kids to the camp where we met, saw all my family at the Wells family reunion, and did the Northwest Trek, Science Center, Pike Place Market and Ferry. What a fun trip. I think we could've stayed for a few more days, but we were thankful for the days we had. We got to travel for the first time with no stroller and no pack n play and car seats. Woohoo!!!! Seeing my family was the highlight. Some of my cousins I hadn't seen in 15+ years. We all used to play together all day long at the family reuniuons and it was so neat to watch all our kdis do teh same thing too.

SOAK CITY

Even though it was summer vacation, the kids still had to do some school work, reading and chores. They had to make their beds and learn how to do their own laundry. For every 24 checks they got, there was a reward earned. There reward earned was SOAK CITY!!!! What a fun day! We splashed in the water all day long. Jack wanted to go on the big water slides soooo bad but he was too short. We found little ones for him that he enjoyed but, he found one a little bigger and when he got off he jumped up and said that was so fun and that he was "freaking out!!!" Sooo funny!

Troy turns 39 and Trisha turns 30!!!

For Troys birthday we went to the Tobey Keith and Trace Adkins concert with our friends Matt and Cheryl. It was an awsome time to relax and dance and enjoy some good old country music.

For Trisha's big 3-0 we did a spa day at Glenn Ivy and then met all the hubbys at dinner! What a fun day to celebrate such a special woman!
