It's not too early to prepare for Halloween is it?!?!

New Pictures!

We finally got some pictures done of the kids.

Jennifer Larson did them and she does a

great job! Thank you Jennifer!

Misc. Pictures

We've been doing a lot this summer but I've been

bad about taking pictures so I haven't posted

anything in awhile. These are just a few I've pulled

starting from the beginning of the summer through

just this week....

They're braver than I am!

Our library was having their summer reading kickoff
party and this is some of the things they had there.
(sorry the pics aren't so good, I had to use my cell)

The girl's face in the background is pretty good...

There were hissing cockroaches in this one and

ended up being Kayleigh's favorite. I couldn't

keep her away from them and then she cried

when we left.

That's Brant saying, "I want to hold it"! He

loved the snakes and even grabbed the head

of one and tried to kiss it before I could stop him.

You could hear everyone around us gasp.

He couldn't keep his hands off the scorpion either...

They were all safe for kids to touch but I was

having a heart attack anyways.

Kindergarten Graduation

Darrel thinks the whole idea of a Kindergarten Graduation
is silly (I don't think that's the word he used) but I couldn't
help but getting teary-eyed quite a few times! I think
it's cause you only have your firstborn go to Kindergarten once.
He'll be in college before we know it!

Tiny Dancer

So, I'm teaching dance again and this is the
cutest tiny dancer by far!

Wish we could've been there....

So, Darrel is a HUGE X-Men fan, especially Wolverine, so he's been pretty excited about the movie coming out. I mostly just wanted to go to the premiere! I'm one of those that loves to be out and about being wild and crazy (not in a bad way of course!) with the crowds and having fun. So we're watching the premiere stuff on the news and I'm yelling at Darrel "WHY AREN'T WE THERE!" and he's yelling back "BECAUSE WE HAVE KIDS!". So then I have to get out of my fantasy world and remember that being home with my family was probably more important...right?!?!?!
