Grandma's 85th Birthday

On Sunday, we went to Brigham City to celebrate my Grandma Darrington's 85th Birthday. We had a great time visiting with them and so many of our relatives.

(Grandpa's 95 and Grandma's 85 - they are doing so well)

Corbyn was getting a little bored

Amber was Grandma's little buddy for the day.
We are really grateful to have such wonderful Grandparents!

Reeder Family Reunion

Last night we had the opportunity of attending Jason's Family's Reunion in Layton. We had a lot of fun!

This is what grown men do when they are altogether
(This is Jason and three of his brothers)

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Brianna's first day of Kindergarten and she was so excited.

Gotta pose for mom (and of course, I had to show off the bloomed Hibiscus - sp?)

First time on a bus - I caught her mid-stride

Our Principal and Vice-Principal welcomed the kids - Brianna was feeling a little unsure where to go

Brianna's new teacher, Mrs. Kunze, welcomed the kids to class - she is going to be great!!

Quiet Time

So, I told the girls we needed a little quiet time today and had them go up to their rooms.

This is what I found in room one

and this is what was in room two

I love my cute girls!

First Day of School

The kids were super excited to start school today!

Kelsea - 3rd Grade

Corbyn - 1st Grade
(He insists on the comb over!)

Buds!!

Corbyn's teacher is Miss Eliason and I had a really good feeling about her when I met her. She'll be great for Corbyn!!

Kelsea - waiting in line to go in. What a sweetheart.

Bear Lake Trip

We just spent the last week in Bear Lake with all of my side of the family. We stayed at my Grandparent's cabin and had such a fun time with everyone!! Here's some shots of the good times.

Lounging at the cabin

(don't you love the awesome colors?)

My brother, Brian.
"Thanks, Jason - you just made me really sick!"

(Notice Jason's grin - hee hee!)

Corbyn loved playing at the beach!!!

I LOVE to ski!!! (It's right up there with playing basketball.) I've been skiing since I was five and never tire of a good run, but boy. . . it sure makes you a lot more tired right after having a baby!!
(Not to mention this shot is way too close up. Aaaa!)

The camera-MEN!
(Jason and my brother, Jared)

We went to eat at Bear Lake Pizza and ordered two Old Ephraim pizzas.
They were the biggest pizzas I have ever seen!!!

We talked Jason into wearing this spandex shirt while at the beach and he was so embarrassed. I loved it!!! He's so hot (too bad I didn't post the muscle flexing picture - he would have died)!

Brianna was so excited about the monkey bars at the beach

We brought up wave runners and Corbyn said he would not ride on them.
(This picture obviously proves otherwise - he had a great time.)

Amber was really tired being at the beach all day and cozied herself up

We played a bunch of lawn games on Friday (softball, bocce ball, frisbee, etc.).
I wish we could do that more often.

Landon, in the sunshade. He's a good little baby!

A final shot of everyone before heading back home

Monkey Business and Play Time- The Plays

My niece, Ashley, is staying with us for a couple days and organized two little plays called Monkey Business and Play Time. They just performed them for my next door neighbor and myself; it was darling.
