I can't believe SUMMER is OVER!!

Ty started 1st grade today. He was SOOOO excited!! It is going to be weird not having him around ALL day long! We definitely missed him today, Nash was bored and needed someone to bug so poor Leah got DOUBLE bugged. Where is the all day school for 1 and 4 year olds??

Oh, and I ran a 10K in Salt Lake on Saturday with some of my neigborhood friends. It was my first race so I wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was actually a lot of fun!! Thanks for the fun weekend girls!

The Deer Hunt

We headed south for the weekend to join Dave for the opening of the Archery Deer Hunt. After a 3 hour drive to Mayfield, UT (just east of Gunnison - which is just east of Nephi, i think) we headed up the mountain on a dirt road, ONE HOUR later we hit Deer Camp at an elevation of about 11,000 feet!! The kids couldn't get out of the car and get their camoflauge gear on quick enough. They had so much fun playing with their cousins - making huts, shooting BB guns, Fishing, riding 4-wheelers, and chopping down trees with their hunting knives.

GOODBYE taylor

My niece Taylor left for Pennsylvania today to become a nanny! I tried to talk her in to staying here and being my nanny but Penn seamed to pay a little more (okay, no pay was involved here, I think it was an easy choice!!) I know she is going to be amazing but we are going to miss her soooooo much. Good luck Tay!!

EXTREME Heat + LOTS of Dirt + MILLIONS of Kids = Little Buckaroo Rodeo

Last night was the little buckaroo rodeo for South Weber Days. It was SOOO hot, but lots of fun!! Nash did the Chicken Chase and was VERY upset that he didn't catch a chicken. Ty did the Sheep Chase, he caught the sheep and was WAY excited to get $5.00!! Ty also did the Muttin' Bustin', he didn't stay on too long but he did GREAT!

ToGeTHeR aGaiN!!

Our friends Brad and Jenny and their kids are in town this week from Florida and we got together with them yesterday at Temple Square in Salt Lake. It was soooooo much fun to see them again!! Our boys have so much fun with each other. I love how they can just pick right up again where they left off last time we saw them! Hopefully we can see you guys again soon!!

Satterthwaite Family Reunion

We went to Bearlake last weekend for our Satterthwaite Family Reunion. We had so much fun!! It was beautiful weather and it was great to see so many of our extended family. . . there were 96 of us there!!

bAsEbAll

Ty just finished up playing Coach Pitch Baseball in a Kaysville League last week and his coach arranged for his team to have batting practice with the Ogden Raptors!! He and Nash both had a great time. I think Ty's favorite part was getting a ball signed by the players (or was it the snowcone??!! You know Ty!!)
