Jackson's Mission Farewell

Abby Is Getting A New Teacher

My oldest daughter Abby is getting a new teacher today.  Apparently there are more 2nd graders then planned, so Shelley Elementary got permission for another teacher.  Abby's new teacher is Cindy Ollinghouse.  Abby's sad that she has to leave Mrs. Robertson, but she's excited because a couple of her friends will be in the class with her.

Aaron and Andrew's Camping Trip

I'm Jealous!

 I'm so jealous...  Right now my husband and oldest son Andrew are camping up near Silver Lake Flatts. 

 In the morning, they're going to have breakfast and then they are hiking up to Silver Lake and fishing.

 Yesterday morning, we went up there to scout out the area.  It was so hard for me to leave.

 Aaron and I couldn't believe how low Silver Lake Flatts was.

Still beautiful!

Messy Boy

Pioneer Day!

 Pioneer Day was great this year.  Aaron had to work in the morning so I got up early and mowed the lawn.  The kids watched the Days of 47 parade on television.  We watched my brothers kids for a couple of hours, then we took off.  We ended up at Gooseberry!  I love Gooseberry!  So many fond memories of this place growing up. 

 The perfect view

Bryson was a little stinker.  It was hard to keep him out of the water.  Luckily Aaron brought this stroller.  We pushed him everywhere.

Brody brought his leapster.  He was good until the batteries ran out!  :)  (Just joking.  He did well too).

Abby, Bree, and Aaron

Andrew caught a lot of fish near the dam

Bree made her own fishing pole out of a twig and some line.

Brody got his hat on a field trip.  I love that he has to wear it every time we go fishing.

Beautiful sunset!

We saw a lot of deer

Even Bambi

When we got home, Aaron set up the tent in our back yard.  Everyone except Brody slept in it.  It was squishy but fun.  :)
