WELCOME HOME KIRK!

Vince's brother, Kirk, got home from his mission yesterday. He served in the California, Roseville (?) mission. We are greatful to have him safely home and Vince said he sounds great!

We can't wait to see you next week!

First day of 2nd Grade!

It is the first day of school for Matthew, and our camera decided to not work! So, I will be posting a "pretend" first day picture soon. Whether we have to get a new camera or I figure out what is wrong with our current one! Matthew is way excited because he is in a portable classroom this year. The school is in the middle of some additions and will be finished mid-October, I think. He has some friends from church and some from last year that will be in his class, so he couldn't contain himself this morning from running to the bus stop!

Daniel starts next week, so we had some tears this morning when he learned he couldn't get on the bus with Matthew, but all will be well next Wednesday! And hopefully by then my camera will work!

Cute Ashley

Ashley had her 9 month pictures taken on Monday and I just got them on email. Here are some of the poses they had us do. I think all of them are adorable, but I am a little bias! Of course, they make you choose which ones you want with your package and so I did, but here are some that are my favorites.

Oregon!

Yes, We have finally gotten home from our final vacation and I can't wait for school to start so I can have a schedule again! Vince said we are not allowed to take anymore vacations or trips for four months!

Oregon was a lot of fun, so great to see all the cousins again and have more to talk about since we are all a bit older and have some things in common. It was beautiful weather the whole time, we got to play at some parks, go swimming at the hotel pool, do some work for my grandparents in their yard and have tons of fun! I will try to get some pictures soon.
