Labor Day at Knolls

Jarrod trying to show off on the Sand Dunes.
Thanks Amanda for photoshopping this picture.

The kids thought that it would be fun to try rafting in the pond.

It was pretty funny watching them trying to row from one end to the other.

The kids liked searching in the rocks for the Horney Toads

they all thought it would be a great idea to take them home and

raise them, there were a lot of broken hearts... Shaylee thinks she wants a Gecko for Christmas now. Hmm... I don't think so!

Summer wrapped up

This was a bittersweet moment... They're excited
to be back at school. I'm not sure I'm ready to
be back at work, I've enjoyed my freedom.

Shaylee is headed off to FIFTH Grade! This is
her last year in elementary. It's going by way
too fast!!


Jacob is headed off to the THIRD Grade! It
seems like just yesterday I was sending him
to kindergarten.




and there they go....

GOOD QUOTE...

Camping at the Knolls

We went camping at the Knolls for our first camping trip of the year. We forgot our camera but luckily Shaylee remembered hers. Here are the pictures she wanted us to remember about our trip.


Of course there has to be a picture of Sadie

The roaring camp fire

The hole that later turned into a hot tub, sorry no pictures

The neighbors and if you look really close there is a cave at the end of the trail

The fire ring where some interesting stories were shared

Shaylee and Jacob working on the hole

Still working.....

Don't you dare take a picture of me

Princess Sadie

Shaylee had her friend over she was so excited because they found a stroller over at the neighbors house that said- FREE, FREE, so they ran in and asked if they could PLEASE have it because it would be perfect for Sadie (which is our dog). They were so excited when I said I don't care. They said come on lets go take Princess Sadie for a walk, they wrapped her up in blankets and took her for a walk. (poor Sadie)

Picture Tag

OK, this is a game of tag and I"ve been tagged. You're suppose to explain the picture first.

This is a picture of Shaylee and Jacob when we went to the the Polar Express for a Christmas family party. I was a little disappointed on how much it cost and it wasn't as neat as I thought it was going to be, they were supposed to go see Santa's Village which looked more like a shack in the middle of no where with white lights on it.

You first, go into the fourth folder of pictures that you have. Second, open the fourth picture in that folder, third, post it in your blog and explain it.Fourth, tag four other people. I TAG ....
