My birthday!

Today is my 40th birthday! I can't believe it!

This is a picture of me in the 70's

Here is me today with my birthday cheesecake!

I love my birthday unicorn balloon! Jessica has threatened to kidnap it.



We had a nice BBQ at Mom and Dad B's

The girls like taking pictures with Reid.

Here I am happily opening a b-day gift from Charith, Thanks!

Reid's fingers are just so tasty!

Enjoying some cake with Afton and Eli.



Samantha and Emily made this cool car for Eli, but he did not want it.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! I had a great 40th b-day!

New school year!!

Another school year has begun and the kids are excited to go back. Okay, maybe they aren't but I am.

Samantha is a 9th grader and this is her first year in high school!

Jessica is a big 11th grader. This year she will be taking test to get into college. Only 2 more years left and she is off!

Parker will be on his own this year in middle school as a 7th grader.

Zachary was so excited to go back to school as a 4th grader!

Work hard and give it your best this year!!

Fun at the Fair!

Before school was to start, we took our annual trip to the fair. My favorite part of the fair is the food. The girls and I had some chicken teriyaki, which was to salty. The boys had corndogs and hotdogs and a barbeque beef which all looked very yummy!!

The boys tried out the Aquaballs. They got into a plastic ball and then it was inflated and they got in it and then it was put into a pool. The boys had a great time!!

The piggies are so cute!!

Parker enjoyed petting the goats.

I think Zachary was still unsure about petting the animals.

We had fun looking around. We did not do the rides this year, yeah I know kind of surprising.

We had a good time; finishing the day off with ice cream and frozen chocolate bananas.
