Little Man's Big Day

Blake had his first day of Kindergarten on August 24th. He was really excited to get started. His teacher's name is Mrs. Huntsman. Below are some pictures from his first day.

Giving us a goofy pose.
Notice how excited Ashlyn looks that he is leaving!

Hugging his sister goodbye.


Heading out the door.

His best bud Dallin is in his same class.


Sitting at his table. Dallin was also sitting at this table, but it sounds like that only lasted for a day. I'm not a bit suprised, they probably talked the whole day.

Blake didn't get to ride the bus for three days after starting school. The school was still working on the bus schedule. But finally on August 27th he took his very first bus ride. Man was he excited for that!! When he started walking up the steps I tried to take his picture but he turned around right as I took it, so I yelled wait, and had him turn around to take it again. Afterwards, the bus driver glared down at me and said, I am already five minutes late! I thought to myself... Blake's stop is the first stop! If you are 5 minutes late that is nobody's fault but yours! Looks like Blake is going to have a FUN bus driver!

Camping Trip

Lastnight we decided to take one last camping trip before Blake starts Kindergarten. So we quickly packed up our trailer and headed over to Rigby Lake. I know... Rigby Lake?? Why? Well, believe it or not we had a really good time. Everytime we go camping we think we have to make the drive all the way to Island Park, but we really wanted this to be a no work/easy going camping trip. So we just threw some over night stuff in the trailer and made the 10 minute drive. It was really nice. The kids were able to fish and play in the water, and the fish were biting like crazy! They both caught 4 fish each. We probably would have caught more, but decided to call it quits. It was really fun to get away with just our little family and enjoy eachothers company before the stress of school starts. We will definately be planning more quick trips to the Lake!
Wating for a fish.


She's got a bite.

Reeling it in.

Showing off her very first fish ever!
(as soon as they let the fish go Ashlyn yelled that she wanted to catch another one.)

Waiting for his turn.
(The boy in the back was just camping next to us.)

Thinks he has one.

Reeling it in.
(we somehow forgot to get a picture with his fish.)

And since I am never in any of the pictures, I wanted to make sure there was some proof that I do actually spend some time with my family!
(Please ignore how terrible I look. I am camping after all and pregnant and the wind is blowing! Lol!)
