BACK TO SCHOOL

It's hard to believe that summer has come and gone and the kids are back in school

Austin turned 11 yesterday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN ;)
he is in 6th grade

Aysia is 14 and in 9th grade

Colton is 16 and in 11th grade! Wow where has the time gone!!!!!!!!

OUR NEWEST ADDITION

We are once again proud boat owners. We have been thinking about getting a boat again for a couple of years and it just happens that we found a deal we couldn't pass up. Unfortunately it happened at the end of summer but that is ok. It was a repo and needs some TLC but nothing we can't do ourselves. We are so excited and so are the kids. It might be a long winter!! But weekends next summer are already booked :)

They were so excited that they couldn't wait to clean it

DINOSAUR MUSEUM

One of Austin's favorite things to do is hang out with his cousin Adam so while Colton & Aysia were at trek I took them to the Dinosaur museum or the Museum of Ancient Life in Lehi. There is so much to see and do we easily spent 2 hours there

TREK

Colton & Aysia had the opportunity to go on trek. They both loved it and I really missed them while they were gone!!

Colton had a great experience there. We bought these boots he has on just a few months ago and he has worn them in well. The morning of trek he gets ready to go and he puts them on and tells me that they are tight and don't seem to fit. I wasn't sure what to do so I just told him he would have to go and see what happens. I was worried about it and just praying that they would be ok. On Saturday we go pick them up and come home and I notice Colton has on different boots. So to make a long story short he is wearing our stake Patriarch's boots. Patriarch Beebe was inspired a few months before trek to break in a second pair of boots in a size 10 1/2. Well that was colton's size and those were the boots he was wearing when he got home!! Pretty neat experience for him!

FAMILY FUN ON THE 4TH & 24TH

16 ALREADY

Colton turned 16 on July 2nd. It's hard to believe that all that time has gone by. Now all the fun begins!! Driving & Dating! He didn't really want to do much for his birthday. He had his good friend Gage and I guess girlfriend Adrianna over. They just hung out and we took them to dinner at the Lone Star Steakhouse. On the 7th he was able to pass his drivers test and go pick up his license the next morning. He has had a perma grin ever since!!
