And its a....

If you haven't heard already, we are having a little girl.  Here are a couple of the ultrasound pictures we got last month.  Bo was pretty upset that he's not getting a brother, but I think he's finally come to terms with it and has decided he'll just have to make her into a tom-boy.

#1, look at that cute little hand

Is that not the cutest little profile picture?

This is the face. Can you pick out the eyes, nose, and mouth?

The Crash-up Dirby

Ryan and Bo had a guys night out and went to the Crash-up Dirby. Apparently Bo was mesmorized by it. He got so excited when cars started hitting each other. He got into the countdown every time they started a new heat. They had a great time. I think next year, it will have to be a whole family affair.

Big Elk Creek

A couple of weeks ago, we went with our friends, the Pettersons, the Tuttles, and the Skoys to Big Elk Creek to go hiking and fishing. Well, turns out, we did ALOT more hiking than fishing. We were looking for some Salmon and we never really found the right spot. Oh well, we had a good time hiking and then picnicing afterwards. It was a perfect day for it and it was so beautiful out. We did end up with a couple of good fish right at the picnic area. Ryan waded in the river with a net and caught them.

The boys were trying to decide whether to use the poles to fish or sword fight.

Ok, maybe we'll just measure and see who has the longest pole.

Look at the beautiful fall colors

the kids found some mini waterfalls

First Day of School

The kids started school in August.  They actually started a week later than originally scheduled due to some technical difficulties in the district.  We were fine having an extra week to play before school started.

Kaylee started in fifth grade and Bo in second.

Now that they have been in for nearly 2 months, I'm happy to report that they both really like their teachers and school in general and they are both doing really well.

Soccer

July was full of soccer practices and games for us. Both Bo and Kaylee played and had a great time.  We are glad that July is over though. It was a busy, busy month.

 

Island Park Reservoir

I am so far behind on stuff we did this summer.  This is one of the most fun activities we had.  We went camping with some of our friends at Island Park Reservoir the end of July.  We had a great time visiting, swimming, and boating. The kids were even brave and both Bo and Kaylee got up on the knee board.  We had a great time!

Thanks Pettersons and Lerwills!

Relay for Life

In June, Kaylee had the opportunity to participate in Relay for Life in Rexburg. 

We've never really been involved or even gone to the activities, but after doing it this year, I think this is something that we will be involved in on an annual basis. 

The Achievement Day girls and our YW from our ward joined teams.  They then sold luminari bags and had a car wash to earn money.  The night of the relay, they had a booth selling hotdogs and other goodies. 

I went to the opening ceremonies and did some walking and came home after the luminari lighting at about 10 pm.  Ryan and the other 2 kiddos were there for a couple hours also and did their part in walking the track and partipating in the other activities.  I wish I'd have gotten more pictures because it was such a cool event.

Kaylee took pics of random people walking.

I would encourage EVERYONE to get involved in such a great cause....somehow. Even if it is just donating money to the cause or supporting the fundraisers.
