Visitors

 Gator brought Zoie and Brady up to see my new classroom and bring me a shake.  I have a ton to do in the classroom, but I sat with them and talked about their first week of school.  I'll take a visit anyday over work.

Gator's senior year

 School started again today.  It is going to be an emotional one.  Gator started her senior year today.  How did we get to this point already?  It is a big year for me also, it is my first first day being the teacher, having my own classroom.  Here is to another school year full of hard work and memories!

At the beginning of the summer we ordered Gator's letterman jacket.  After the whole summer, it is finally done, now she just needs it to cool down so she can wear it.  

A beautiful evening

 I was home alone this evening.  Gator has been at Mat and Andrea's watching their dogs while they are in Georgia for Connor's graduation from boot camp.  I just got home from running errands and a beautiful storm blew over.  It was amazing.  

One more Lagoon day

 We went to Lagoon twice this week to go swimming one day and rides the other.  School is starting soon, I went back Wednesday with meetings and professional development days, but it's coming quick for the kids.  

We also had a fire over at Josh & Rachelle's before Blake moves to St George next week for school.  So much going on this time of year.  

Bear Lake

We went to Bear Lake yesterday for a quick trip.  I love going to Bear Lake, it is so pretty and just fun.  To be honest, I don't love camping, but I love everything about it.  I know weird.  I love hanging out with my family, the fire, the games, the food, and just being in the moment.  I can suck it up and sleep in the car for a night or two.  Everyone else slept in the tent, but I snore and I don't want to keep everyone up, so Steele and I slept in the truck.  We made hobo dinners and peach cobbler for dinner and dutch oven breakfast casserole this morning.  Last night we played games and hung out around the fire, and today we swam at the lake then went to Ephraim's for lunch. It was quick, but I am so happy everyone was able to make it and everything went perfect.  

I woke up early and took Steele and Jake for a walk.  It was beautiful with the sun coming up over the lake.  

Steele tried to be a good sport, but I don't think he was having very much fun.  

Gator bummed a ride from me

Lunch before everyone headed home.  I hate when fun times are over.  I am basically back to work this week with some meetings and trainings.  Bear Lake was a fun way to say see ya to summer.  Not hurry up fall I am ready.
