Some guys get all the breaks

The first day of school and I'm not sure how Logan plans to get through the day 

without getting his "J's" dirty.  He started with paper towels, what a dork!

Headed to 8th grade and even got a ride from his friends nice Mom

I say ride the bus

Samuel apparently didn't want to wait for me to get up to get his picture taken on the first day so he took matters into his own hands.

I made him ditch the Fish Lake hat

He's off to 3rd grade

and Ella bella is off to rule the school in 6th

Next year will be awesome with 2 kids each in two schools  

Two start times?  What will I do with myself

Heidi had a new baby girl and named her Sophie so I dusted off my embroidery needles and made her a little monogram frame.   I'm crafty like that.    I actually love embroidery and need to do it more.  It's very relaxing, except when you poke your finger......repeatedly.

As a kid we used to spend a lot of evenings  and weekends taking 

drives to various places.  My Dad loves to drive.  

I had remembered this little place Sarah referred to as "Barbie wonderland" 

when she was a young dork so we invited Carri and the Harmons and headed out after church.  

Stupid 4 Oclock church mind you.

Ella and Brin are kind of too cool to even stay by us so they wander sort of away in their own cool sphere

This was our crew of kids minus Logan who was screw balling around somewhere I'm sure

Oh and Carri

Dave has a bum chin and I don't know what he is doing in this picture 

so I'll just assume he was trying to be modest by covering up

Quite the motley crew

These girls adore Carri and she is a great little Auntie to all of them

Always a good sport for their antics, or her own

Trying to take a cute pic of Carri and we got something quite unexpected

This kids cracks me up when I don't want to kill him

He did ruin Harmons family pic of just their kids moments before this

This is my favorite good picture of the day I think

Logan isn't being too weird and Ella didn't do fake smile

He's just naturally kind of a punk

I think Luke mistook this for an interpretive dance studio

It was quite spacious inside

I do not have a clue what prompted this inhale the toilets

exhale to the mountains spiritual experience they were having

Some kind of a cleanse I reckon

Carri is from Kanab

No other explanation needed

Angi told me the other day that her good luck had rubbed off on us 

and now look, it has transferred over to the Harmons.  

We are all so lucky to be friends.

Speaking of luck, I was lucky enough to get a Staph infection in my finger

that quickly spread into my blood

and allows me to flip the bird without seeming rude

They sliced it open to clean it out, I suppose stripes on your hand and arm are frowned upon.
