Zoo Fun

The local zoo had a free admission day that we took advantage of. We always have a good time when we go. It was a beautiful fall day...almost bordering on hot even. All in all a great day! Here is Hannah and Daddy
Feeding the goats..............

This tiger statue is always a hit with Hannah. She ALWAYS has to sit on it and usually throws a fit when we drag her off of it!

Hannah's First Day of School!!!

Wow.....Hannah's first day of school. It is just weird saying that! I can't beleive my "baby" is in school. So, she is in pm kindergarten. That just works better for us since neither of us are what you would call morning people. This is Hannah on the first day. My friend Kate actually did her hair up cute for me because it was not only the first day of school but also Chris had his surgery that morning. Kate was a dear and watched Hannah for us that morning and then also got her ready for us since the surgery ran a little longer than expected.
The back of her cute cute hair! Thanks Kate!
I added this pic because the first day of school for Hannah was only an hour long. This was on her 2nd day but it was the first actual full day of her pm session.
Thanks for looking!

Hair Today, Gone Tommorrow!

The girls got their hair cut today. We weren't planning on it but went with our friend who was getting her hair cut and it turned into a "girl's beauty day". It works out great for school which is starting in about 10 days..........Hannah got a little bob cut.


and Emily got her A frame cut from before evened out so she can grow her hair back out.
We all think both cuts turned out great!

Roaring Youth Jam

We headed down to the river today for the Roaring Youth Jam. This was our first time at the Jam for us. The girls had a good time and we were lucky enough that a local artist we know (His wife is our mother's group leader) was drawing characatures (sp?) at his booth. Thanks John! I thought they turned out great! This first one is Hannah............ And here is Emily.................
We just love them!

Breaking Dawn, Baby!!!

Kate, Emily and I went to the Breaking Dawn book release at Hastings. Kate made us these fabulous t shirts to wear.....aren't they great? Here is the front of the shirt...............
and, of course, the back................
Here we are, waiting till midnite to buy the book.
Ok, this girl next to Emily was seriously driving Kate mad. She was acting way crazy about the whole thing!
And although I do not like this picture of me and am trying to figure out how I was the lucky one that had to be in front (short straw, maybe???), here we are with our new books.

War Wound

This is what happens when you are 5 years old and you wrestle around with your 15 year old brother. This is Hannah's first "war wound" from her brother. She got an elbow to the cheek when they were wrestling around. It was an accident and poor Matt feels awful about it. Maybe this will be a lesson learned for the both of them????

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

This was our fist time being in Idaho Falls for the 4th of July. We are usually traveling elsewhere around this time so these are our fist experiences with the 4th of July festivities here in Idaho Falls. These are the pictures of us that I took enjoying the parade with our friends. It was great....and fun......and HOT. Abby and Hannah
Olivia and Hannah (and Abby in back of them)

My girls......so cute!
I love this picture of Hannah. Looks like she is daydreaming waiting for the parade to start.
Emily sat with one of her leaders during the parade

Another shot of Miss Abby and Miss Hannah......FUN!

Hope all our friends everywhere are having a happy and healthy 4th of July whereever they are. A special Happy 4th to my special friend Carrie whose hubby is in Iraq......we love you and you are always in our hearts!
