Happy Birthday Devyn!

Devyn just turned six and wanted a barbie party.

So I made her this barbie cake, the first time I accidently

split the cake in half trying to get barbie in there.

Her songbook from Grandma Olson.

She had been wanting this book for a while now.
Amelia & Sydnie came by to wish Devyn a Happy Birthday!

Instead of having a friend party this year we had a family birthday party for Devyn. She really wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese and play and go to the restraunt and have everyone sing Happy Birthday to her. At the last minute she decided she wanted to eat pizza at Chuck E Cheese so we spent the whole time there. It was fun. We let her invite one friend and she had Sophie come along. It was crazy I was in a hurry and some how forgot my camera. Luckily Chuck E Cheese has a new fun machine that will draw you a picture up. Here is a couple pictures from Devyn and Sophie.

Calling Elk

For a Sunday night activity we went up the canyon to call us some elk.

Jacob had fun calling them, but they never answered us back.

Ethan saying CHEESE!

Yard Work

Dan has worked so hard on our rock wall and suprised me one day

by getting the bench finished while I was gone one night!

We were able to haul a lot more rocks today and find a pipe!

We were so excited since we were looking for one for a long time. Devyn having lots of fun in our new toy!

We will post more photos of our work as we go! I have been so happy to get this much done on it. Dan has worked really hard and he is doing an awesome job! You will have to come and check out our pipe once we get it in the ground!

Where are you Ethan?

Do you ever have those days when you are busy getting stuff done and you aren't sure whether or not you want to check on the little one? Well I had one of those the other day.

Ethan was being so quiet and when I found him this is where he was.

Oh, am I in trouble?

It got even worse! I got the tub going with a little water and set him in there while I stripped off the sheets to clean them. When I walked downstairs to throw the sheets in the washer there was water dripping ALL OVER downstairs, I ran back upstairs to see that Ethan was dumping cups of water out of the tub for fun. It was a big mess! One thing after another!

First Day of School

This was Devyns first day of Kindergarten, she absolutely loves it!

She is there all day and looks forward to packing her lunch and snacks.

Jacob also started Preschool on the same day.

He is in a Joy School type thing with six other kids.

Onions Days Parade

Devyn thought it was a lot more fun to be in the parade rather than to watch the parade.

Notice how cute she is with her missing her front tooth.

Devyns Birthday Potluck

Devyn had a lot of fun with her cousins on her potluck day! Birthday gift from Grandma and Grandpa Strong

When Devyn got home all she wanted to do was play her new guitar.

Rainbow

A cool rainbow on September 2nd. We were driving down the freeway when I snapped this photo. I couldn't believe how bright the rainbow was.
