Paul Mackenzie and Lia Wedding

We got to go to my brother's wedding in Bear Lake. They reserved a beautiful lodge with a great view. It was gorgeous. I went up alone for a night before the wedding and that was fun. Paul and the kids came on Saturday before the wedding. Susie was really excited to be the flower girl. She walked down the aisle and everything. Lia looked gorgeous, the cake was delicious, and it was great to see a lot of family come for the occasion. It was a beautiful wedding! 



























End of Summer Fun and Back to School

We have had such a great summer it was sad to see it come to an end! We tried to make the most of our last week before school started. We went to the Dinosaur Museum in Ogden that we've been wanting to visit. It was really cool! They even have a few animatronic dinosaurs that were awesome. 






We invited friends over for make-it-Monday, we went to story time at the library one last time, visited the mall aquarium, and did a service scavenger hunt for thoughtful-Thursday. 







Class lists came out the week before school started and Susie was so excited that a boy in her kindergarten class that she had a crush on is also in her first grade class. His name is Hagen. Her teacher's name is Mrs. Barker. 


Susie and I went on a back to school date. It was so much fun! She was so excited to pick out a new lunch box. She kept telling me that this was the best day of her life! 





This is the night before the first day of school. She stayed up a few minutes later than the boys to prep her lunches for the week. So exciting! 


I think 1st grade has been a lot harder for me than kindergarten. She will be gone all day and I'll miss her so much! She is so grown up!



The day after Susie's first day was Braden's first day of preschool! I am so excited for a new year of preschool. We have such a great class. Braden is struggling a little bit to listen to mom as his teacher. So far there have been some tantrums and fits but I'm hoping he improves as the year goes on. The rest of the class is doing great. It is really fun to be teaching again!

Fish Lake 2017

We had a great trip to Fish Lake this year. I was glad Clark was walking for this camping trip! We brought lots of yummy food, the smores were my favorite! We went on walks exploring and sat around the fire and just enjoyed the company 










 We absolutely loved our campsite this time so we want to remember to always book the same one. It has a large hill and a meadow at the top. So next year  and from now on, Bowery Creek #36! 


 We rented a large pontoon for a full day and did lots of fishing. JP caught the most fish, and the biggest one I've seen come out of that lake! Mom brought her kayak and we all took turns rowing around and it was so fun! 








We had such a great time and made wonderful memories.
