Cole golfing at BYU for a week

Oops! I have forgotten all the fun things we did BEFORE school started! Cole left us for a week to stay 

at the BYU dorms for a GOLF CAMP. HE loved it! He loved meeting people from all around the states.

His roommate was from Texas. He was one of the youngest. So, he hung out with the older crowd. The 16 year old girls named him cutie. 

Everyday the golfers went out and played and learned  for 9 hours. Then in  the evenings the camp 

went bowling, to a talent show, 7 peaks and ended with a  Award ceremony. Cole won a sweet long sleeve Nike sweat shirt. He did really well with his accomplishments. Cole came back with a ton of knowledge, appreciation for the game and us  and  super duper dark tan.  Holy Moly he came back black!  It was a good experience for him. Even though as a mother I was leery to let him go. I knew he would be in good hands. 

Back to schoo...for Lady and Ryn

 Here's our big 1st and 3rd grader!

 I rode my bike with them snapping shots as they ride. Yes, I am that kind of mother! :)

 Merynny's first day as a first grader.

 Lady already in routine.

 So, when the kids got home from school I tried making this cute little pencil that they are holding stuffed with hersey's kisses. It was a good attempt. Both Bryce and I wrote a little note on each child's. We love these two little girls!

Darling smile lady!

Playing on the Blue's

 Awe...I love this picture! It says it all. The children are  free...wondering around in the mountains. Using sticks as their bow and arrows, guns,  making forts, riding utv's or motorcycle's around expolring and playing in dirt.  This is what I use to do when I was a little girl. My grandma would make sandwich's and bake a whole bunch of cookies and take my sisters and I and my cousins up to play in the Blue Mountains. We played for hours while she read a book. The very same place...where our children are playing.

 Z...running free

 Darrin, Meryn and Ben! Our BIG 1st graders.

 Alayda and Azure showing us the entrance into this MASSIVE fort we made! It was so much fun! We gathered sticks for hours to make this fort. The children loved it and so did I! :)

 You can see the fort walls.

 This is pretty much where  Cole was half the time. Putting his chain on his motorcycle. He loves riding his "cycle ride". (that's what he use to call it when he was little)

 Cook out! Yum! Mom and Dad came up with Todd and Amy family, Sherie and Jim family and Al and Spenc family. Loved getting together with all of them.  Amy holding Z

 Lady doing a dance for us?

 Spenc

 Meryn, Amy, Z, ....

The children loved seeing the deer.  We (the kids and I) only saw does. But.. Bryce and Cole saw their buck and shot it. It is always so lovely to go to Monticello. I love the mountains, I love the memories it brings back to me, I loved seeing my grandma. : / It has been hard to go back since she has passed in 2010. I love the cute grocery store. I love seeing Bryce's parents...Todd and Amy, Sherie and Jim, Allyson and Spenc. Monticello is where I was born...I lived there for 8 years. I have fond memories of this place. There is a sacredness there. Maybe it is because my ancestors are from here.   Anyway...the BOW HUNT was a success this year! yay! I didn't get sick either!! :)

 So, this upload on pictures took me FOR EVER...It did not even come up the way I had it in order but whatev. We have a ton of pictures to look at...I want to make a book so I decided I will get all the pictures I can in. Each family was in charge of a skit. This is part of ours.
