flower's first day of 2nd grade!

flower started school on august 28th.  i love the outfit she chose!  she has the same teachers as last year except this year she has mrs. parker first half, and ms. schmillen second half.  most of the kids in the class are the same as well so she's excited to see them again after the summer break!

we were excited to see kassidee on her first day as well!

back to school fashion show

on august 27th we did a fashion show of all the girls new school clothes! goofy little hams. it was fun.

i love them and their new clothes! 

jared gets married!

the weekend of august 24-26 i went to idaho falls with sandee and the kids to attendmy cousin jared's wedding.  he married a beautiful girl name kassie.  we shared a hotel room.  the kids swam a few times.  we got to go to my favorite temple.  my girls spent the night at my cousin cheryl's house which was so special to me.  i used to stay at her house and then her kids stayed with me!  my girls danced with my cousin robbie.  we just had a wonderful time!

on the way home we made our regular stop at pickle's place but this time it was raining so it was a quick photo!  we also saw a double rainbow which will always remind us of amanda!  strangely just before seeing it river randomly started talking about amanda and how much she missed her. :)  amanda continues to send us signs that she is watching over us.
