July 10, 2015. Collin's Birthday!

Happy Birthday Collin! Collin turned 9 yesterday! He was so excited for his big day and I think he enjoyed it! He woke up in the morning to a decorated house! Nothing says happy birthday quite as well as balloons!! Later that evening, we had pizza as a family and then opened presents and had cake and ice cream! Collin had been wanting to have a blue velvet cake for a long time so that is what he got! He also got that mountain bike he has been wanting for a while, especially since we moved down here. After cake and ice cream I took Collin to a movie. He really wanted to see Jurassic World. We had a lot of fun at the movie and he really liked it! Happy Birthday Buddy! I hope you had a great day!

July 4, 2015. Happy Independence Day!

We had a great 4th of July this year! We partook of all that the lovely town of Hurricane had to offer, starting with a parade bright and early before it got too hot! It was a great parade. Not too long, and not too short, and plenty of candy!! After the parade we took the kids to the park where they played games and bounced in the bounce houses. Later that night we had some friends over for a BBQ where we roasted hot dogs over our new fire pit! Fun fun! And the night ended with a beautiful sunset and fireworks for the older kids! I'm so grateful for this country that we have to live in and all the freedoms that we have.

June 2, 2015. Last day of school!

Well it wasn't really the last day of school, but our kids didn't actually go to school on the last day of the year and the last day they did go was field day so they wore swim suites, so these pictures were taken three days before school ended!

I'm so proud of my kiddos this year. They all had a great year in school this year. It wasn't always easy, and it wasn't always fun, but they all gave 100% all year long! I have such great and smart kids. I love them!

As per tradition, my first and last day of school comparison for the 2014-2015 school year:
