My little Rivys big 11

We celebrated Rivs Birthday by visiting red cliffs. I took the kids and a couple of Rivys friends to the cliffs and we played for most of the day then we went home had dinner and then we ate cake and ice cream... Mike told Rivers that he got the cake she wanted so he wanted to put his touches on it by picking the candles.. We sure did love them.

Rivers school did a southern ball that they practiced for a long time foe it turned out so cute. Here are the pictures from that day.

Part two and three of what we have been doing...

We went to the Grand Canyon for the first time in my life, thanks to Dan and the green goat for getting us there.. It is amazing. The next day we went to our favorite park by Mels old house. I now realize why it was my favorite and it was because when we went I could see Mel and the girls , this time it just wasnt the same. I really miss those girls.

Im back !!!!!! This is what we have been doing..

Footie pajama parties have become a big hit with our family.. Here are a few pics from a few of those.

oh the places we will go............

Wow it is hard to believe the summer is almost over.... We have been busy busy busy... Whats new in our lives- we have started a new fish store in our home called Salty Fins, we are slowly learning what it takes to be buisness owners...Kaitlyn finished junior high with straight a's... She was on the hurricane swim team (the only 9th grader) she played softball on the hurricane high team and now she is officially a VARSITY hurricane high cheerleader woohoo.. We love her the girl truly rocks.. Rivers turned 10 over the summer WOW she is growing up so fast, she played soccer for the second year- getting better than ever.She learned how to wakeboard last summer and has progressed amazingly this summer, she can cross the wake now and is pretty proud.She will be in 5th grade the last year in grade school that scares the heck out of me.. She is such a good kid and a great big sissy to our little Lakey....Laken will be 6 in oct. he is starting kindergarten and that really really freaks me out what will i do without my little man...He has learned to swim like a fish this summer and is a true fisherman ( without the patience though )he does backflips on the trampoline and is just pure boy through and through ( except for the painted toe nails ).... I love them all and could not be more proud.. We have also been busy with family ( the true happiness in life) we have visited up north and we have had visits... We have had tons of fun with my momma and the girls....
