Holdyn starts KINDERGARTEN!!!

Holdyn started Kindergarten this past week and so far she LOVES school! She has Mrs. Busener as a teacher and she loves her too! The week before school started they decided to split the Kindergarten into two different classes. All of her cousins and friends from Preschool ended up in the other class...... so she started off on her own. She immediately found a friend from church, River, and another friend from her T-ball team, Roxy. They also decided to start all-day Kindergarten this year so she is there from 8am-3pm! After her first day her exact words were, "Mom! That was a LOOOOONG day at school!"
She is soo excited to be at the 'big kid' school! We love you Holdyn!

A Week of fun-filled Camping

We had a great week camping up on Beaver Mountain. We Love it up there!!!
The girls LOVED riding the 4 wheelers with Grandpa and Grandma!
We got some fishin time in!
Holdyn made a great horse and pulled Kimber around camp with the rope tied
around her waist.

Kimber and Payton played under the tables for about 3 hours. They went under there when we were doing crafts and didn't come out until dinner was ready on the tables.

The girls took advantage of every situation to take off their shoes and get wet in the water!

Took some drives and saw some beautiful country!

We are so happy to have a trailer and a generator so Kimber can get all of her treatments done while we are camping!! Also she loves Grandma to help and play with her during the treatments.

Holdyn also loved playing with Corbin.
Kimber and Payton during the crafts.
Ben worked his magic in the camp kitchen.


We had a great time spotlighting for deer and cramming the kids in the back of the truck.
We took turns making dinner and one night we got to sneak down to Brad and Katrine's cabin and took showers and ate some great grub.


One of the girls favorite things of the whole trip was to search for wild strawberries. We found a few different patches and the girls loved picking and eating them.


We went for a drive during some rain and Holdyn didn't know the splaters of mud weren't raindrops :)
Kimber was an awesome hunter out the window as we drove up the canyon. She got every deer with her wooden rifle....I'm sure of it.
