Family Bowling on the Base

Our family headed to the base for bowling fun.

They were running a special where kids were FREE!

This was a nice diversion from Christian's long hours at work and from school for the kids.

Torturing the cat, again.

I bought the boys some BYU decor for their room that I painted blue. The pencil holder cup was shaped like a football helmet. The kids were excited to see if it would fit our cat, Coon. Once they got it on his head, he wouldn't budge from this position. He was frozen stiff. Poor kitty!

First Day of School 2010

Despite their smiles, only Amara was happy to get back to school.

Orrin is in the 5th Grade.

Joseph is in the 8th Grade.

Amara is in the 3rd Grade.

Their new Elementary School is a little over a 1/2 mile away. When it's not too hot, they'll start riding their bikes.

All their outdoor sidewalks are covered . . . I guess because it rains frequently in the summer.

Amara's home room.

Orrin's home room.

Joseph rides the bus to Lakeside Junior High, which is a ways away.

Aleya is starting Preschool now at Ivy League Academy.

She can't wait!

Her new teacher is Miss Heather.

The boys built a box fort to sleep in at night.

The girls wanted their own fort to play computer in.
