Avery's First Day of Third Grade

Avery was excited to go back to school. He will learn how to write in cursive this year. He was excited that he has already learned how to write it in cursive.

Ward Campout

Last weekend we set off on another camping trip with our ward. We had a great time with all our ward members. That night Joseph went home to do our paper route and I camped with the kids. The next morning we woke up and enjoyed breakfast. Joseph called our friend to let us know he was on his way to come get us and jokingly said that there had been another wreck. James responded that he had heard about the wreck. I think Joseph thought he was playing along when James told him that there was a meat truck that had wrecked and that there was meat all over the road. Luckily the road hadn't been closed and he could still get through. It took him about an hour longer then it would have but he did make it. I hope the curse is broken next year when we set off to do some camping.

Cute Conversation with the Kids

About a month ago I was in the car with the kids driving home when Aurora asked, “Why don't I have any eye browns?" I told her she had some but they were blond and harder to see. Then Avery said," What are eye brows for?" I told him I wasn't sure when Aurora said, “They are so you can tell if someone is happy or sad."

New Job

After a little over a year of looking for a teaching position Joseph finally landed a job. It was really only his second interview. He nailed the interview and was called the very next morning. He had orientation on Friday and started working on Monday. Classes begin on Wednesday.
We are looking forward to getting out of the paper route business the end of October. He is working at Two Rivers High an alternative high school.

Lagoon

We had a fun-filled day at Lagoon this year. Logan got to go on a few rides this year. We also got to watch a bird show. These birds were amazing to watch. The kids really liked seeing all the neat tricks the birds could do. We saw one bird ride a bike, a scooter, and push a shopping cart while putting groceries into it. It was very entertaining.

Swimming

The kids and I enjoyed a day at the pool.

Rainbows

Aren't rainbows beautiful?
