The ultimate slip and slide

The neighbor and I set up tarps on the hill by our house. The kids had a blast going down it. Kylee got in the foam board and was a prod at going down it standing up. Future wake boarded for sure'... I was pretty proud!

Sweetwater county fair

The kids loved all the animals. They are such animal lovers. Ky got to milk a cow, and they both loved feeding he goats

Shoveling rocks and such

So my dad was pretty sick this summer. I feel so grateful that we were able to be close, bc if we ended up going with amazon we would have been so far away. They finally diagnosed him with Lyme disease. He is finally starting to feel better. My parents wanted to finish their front yard this summer. He had ordered all this stone and it was a group effort to get it all spread out. Nash got to see the big dump truck dump the stone and got to shovel lots of rocks, which he loves to do.

A little update

We'll kylee jo started first grade and she loves it. Apart from having to wake up early. That's been an adjustment for all of us. We pack her lunch everyday, apparently she has good lunch items to trade. Haha she trades her gummy worms and fruit by the foots for like watermelon and other things. That makes me laugh so hard. So each day when she gets into the car I ask her what she traded. Derek thinks it's pretty funny because when we were kids fruit by the foots were gone before lunch time and she thinks they are no big deal. Also, when we were in Montana Kylee got a dollar bill from grandpa. She decided to spend it on a pickle. We'll she took one bite into the pickle and her tooth went loose. She was sooo excited. Derek said she probably made a return on her investment with the tooth fairy coming her way.
So Derek starts his last year of graduate school this week. We can't believe how fast our summer went.  We are excited to see the progress we will make with the new kolache business this year. Who knows where we will be come May!

starting her new school at Feedom Prep Academy 3 weeks after west ridge.
