First Day of School 2009

Here are the kids on their first day of school! Don't they look excited?

Rylan's Broken Arm

So Rylan finally let me take his picture of his broken arm. He got to leave school a little early Monday to go to the ortho dr. and get his cast on. He was sure talkative to the Dr. the whole time he was casting it which is so not like him, it was pretty funny. Rylan must have told him several times not to get that blue stuff on his new school shirt! I paid an extra $65 to get the water proof cast so he can shower and swim! He thinks its pretty cool the water just runs right out of it if he points his arm down. The simple thrills of having a broken arm. So 4 weeks in the cast and then in a splint for 2 more weeks to gain the strength back. What fun for the first month of school! He's a trooper.
Here he is right before bed. So cute!

Beach Trip

Here goes the longest post of pictures! I couldn't narrow them down, I loved them all. The following pictures show a glimps of our amazing trip to the beach! We had so much fun! We went with Tawna and Nathan and his family, Jade and Jeff, us and Aaron & Amanda, and Kevin and Taya came for a day! Thanks to Tawna and Nathan who invited us all to join them. It was our first family trip to the beach and we loved it! We were spoiled and camped in a trailer (which is how I like it!) with running water and electricity! It was a long walk down a steep hill to the beach with all our stuff for the day but definately worth the long haul. We spent two days enjoying the water although the waves were a bit rough for the kiddos. I even attempted to learn how to ride the waves and managed to swallow enough salt water for my entire life. I had the worse heardburn that night from the salt water. Here are many pictures of our wonderful vacation!
Here is all the kiddos on the last afternoon before heading back up. They were drained but happy (all happy except Rylan who did not want to be in the picture)! We should have taken a group picture before Maddie, Darrin, and Kaitlyn left.

Our family pix! Poor Rylan was ready to be done. I think his broken arm hurt, but he never complained.

One of his happy pictures building a sand castle!

Wow! Are they playing nice? Such cute brothers!

Austin and Jaxon spent hours playing in the waves. They knew just how to do it!

Dad and Rylan, always together!
