First Day of School

Since we are still new to blogging I am posting some pictures that were taken a few months ago that I wanted to share. Hope no one minds.

On August 25th Devan set out for his first day of school as a first grader. He was very excited to see some of his friends from last year. Just look at that smile. He is in Mrs. Moore's class and he loves it.

Here he is at school. Ready! Set! Here he goes!

Happy Birthday Kami!

We have lost a tooth!

On the way home from Lorin and Janice's house on Sunday Oct 12th, Kami and Devan were eating some of the apples they had given us. Kami yells out that she has a tooth that has become loose. Neil and I didn't even know she had a loose tooth. We were so excited that we pulled the truck over just so we could wiggle her tooth. All the way home she played with her loose tooth and she wanted nothing to do with Neil's ideas of how he pulled his teeth (via string and a big pull). By monday morning it was bugging her so badly that she ate another apple and out popped the tooth.


Once again, I was so excited for her that we drove down to Neil's work just so we could show him. Devan is so determined to eat lots of apples so that he can loose a tooth too.


Kami with her baby tooth in a bag and the apple that pulled it out. Yeah!

Camping in Wyoming

We went camping somewhere close to yellowstone on September 12th with our friends Chad and Rebekah Hughes and their son Eric. The boys were ready to do some hunting so the kids and I tagged along. It was really fun until we were to get ready for bed. Then it was freezing. It was sooo cold that it was hard to breath. Let me tell you that was one long night. My friend said it wasn't that cold. Ok, so maybe I am a woose, but it was misserable. Neil even said it was cold and he has camped out in some pretty cold temperatures. At about 5:00 a.m. the boys set out to do their hunting while the rest of us just waited for the sun to come up and warm us up. Later that day the kids, Bekah and I all took a nap. The boys hunted!

Poor Devan he was so cold. Even with a sweater, coat and his blanket he was cold. After a while we all snuggled up around the camp fire to keep warm.

Chad rustling us up some grub. Mmmm.....yummy!
Sometime around 9:00 p.m. on Saturday we headed home. It was a three hour drive back to our home. At one point we were so tired that we pulled over to sleep and then drove home. It never felt so good to be back in our own beds with the heater on. You read right, our heater is turned on. In September!

Kami with a camera!!!

Kami loves taking pictures. She sometimes helps herself to the camera. These are some of her latest. We don't know where Devan got his moves but they sure are funny. He has some great poses. Kami took some more of Devan posing but this one was the best.

This picture trips Neil out. He says it doesn't look like Kami but more like pictures of Denna when she was younger. What do you think?

Kami took this picture of our shadows while we were waiting for Devan's bell to ring on the first day of school. She's quite the little photographer. She has an eye for cute pictures.

What a cute couple, does anyone know where to find these cute people. Kami set up this picture, she even posed us exactly how she wanted us.
