ALREADY??





No, seriously where do the summers go?? When my favorite holiday is over (July 24th) I just want to bawl! I hate sending the kids back to school... the getting up early, the homework, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag.
Although I will be the first one to admit that I should get an "F" for schoolastics in the summer. My kids probably regress 2 grade levels in the summer.
Its definately in their best interest to get back into the grindin stone.
Really I think its just the milestone that each new school year brings. Another notch closer to jr. high. high school, college. AHHHHH I want to cry just thinking about it. And why is it that the last night of summer every year you go searching for pictures of the family, vacations, hobbies, all the things that remind you how quickly time is going by. Well bring on the prozac and tears.... all I can do about it is enjoy each moment... ummmm thats easier said than done. And to top it all off... Shelbee goes to pre school this year. Is someone playing a sick joke on me?

Salem Days




Summer is winding down :(




Ummm... pretty sure this is the ONLY time this happened all summer

OH BOY!!! My FAVORITE holiday.....







I still love the 24th of July.... my dads birthday is on the 24th. I'm sure you know that is why we have the BIG celebration. It was crazy to see the class of '90 in the parade for their 20 year reunion.... how can that be?? I love everything about it... the stinkin carni... the parade... the rodeo.... seeing people you haven't seen for years and can't remember their name. Ahhhhh.... we are S.F. This year we went to the parade (of course), then to my Aunt and Uncles house in Springville. She bought a bonzai falls slide and the kiddos lived it up. Later that night we went to the rodeo. Good times, good times.
