Sick Day

Yesterday after me and my boys got home from school, Kade started coughing and then eventually couldn't breath very well. I did everything I could to calm his asthma, but it wasn't getting any better. I decided that I better not send him to school with me so I called a sub and sent my sub plans with another teacher that travels to price. Well, we woke up this morning and Kade was just fine....no asthma, no cough...so my sick day turned out to be a nice relaxing day with my kids. Too bad that can't happen everyday!

Clean Up at Mom's

So my mom decided that instead of a birthday present, she wanted all of us to come to her house and clean things up around her yard (although my mom's yard is perfect). So we all showed up Saturday morning and spent the entire day cleaning up. We had so much fun together (like we always do) and we got a lot done. After we worked all day, we went up to the Joes Valley Marina for a burger and then went back to my mom's to play games. Even though we were working, we were having the greatest time together. Sisters (and their familes) are the best!!

Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud

This is what happens when I turn my head for two seconds.... I had just watered the flowers which made for a perfect place to slash in the mud. They are definitely ALL boy!

After a few minutes of splashing in the mud....I showed them where the hose was:

I'm Hooked Too...

Okay, so all of my students have been begging me to read Twilight...so I did and now I am hooked. I read the first book in 2 days. I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what happens in the next book. A love story about a teenager falling in love with a vampire sounds dumb....but it was pretty good (and really easy to read).

Peach Days

This weekend was Peach Days in Ferron. Kyle is from Ferron so he thought that we should go. We started out the day at the Parade (which lasted forever) and then we ended up at the horse races and the demolition derby. The derby was awesome. One of the cars actually flipped over. Kyle did the derby a few years ago and he was sure regretting not doing it this year. Here are some pictures of the parade. I didn't take any of the races or of the derby.

Waiting for the Parade to start

I bought Kade this bag the other day because he really "needed" it. Anyway, we also had to bring it to the parade. We are just a little bit early for Halloween.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was great. We started out the weekend on a 4-wheeler ride up East Mountain to check on the cows. The weather was nice and the cows had plenty to eat.

The next day we went fishing at Grassy Lake and Pete's hole. After we got done fishing we decided to take a scenic drive across Skyline. It is so beautiful up there and you really feel like you are on top of the world.

Today we spent most of the day dove hunting. Kyle shot about 7 doves....so I guess it was a success. All in all it was a nice relaxing weekend. I am sad that it is over and we are back to work tomorrow.

Kade and Tyce

Kyle looking for deer on Skyline Drive. Isn't it so pretty here. The elevation is 10,000 feet.

I'm So Sorry Tyce

Kade's hair was getting a little long, so today I decided to get out my scissors and cut it. Well after I was all done with Kade's hair I thought....."why not trim Tyce's hair". Well, I was planning on just trimming a little off of the top when Kyle told me to just use the clippers....Bad Idea! I pretty much buzzed his hair completely off! He looks so funny now. I feel so bad! Thank goodness that it will grow back in a few weeks. In the meantime Tyce will probably be wearing his hat!
The best pictures I could get were when he was having his dinner.

He is still the cutest 8 month old...even with a buzz cut!
