First day of school 2011

My big kids ready to head off to another year of school. If we weren't in such a great school, I would be even more emotional than I already was. Thank goodness for great teachers!

Haylee - 2nd grade

Cade - 5th grade

Haylee and her friends all in the same class again this year.

Since we love Bilbray so much, we had to have some school spirit at our house:)

The house seems so quiet during the day now. Evan will start pre-school next week, and then it will be really quiet with just Kendal. I'm not quite sure I am ready for this yet, but ready or not, I guess it has to happen:( I can't believe how fast time goes by. Next year, Cade will be starting middle school - and I thought I was emotional this year! Next year is going to be tough - but exciting for the kids!

Pioneer Days 2011

We have a family picture in this same spot from the last 6 years. Maybe one day I will post all of them just to see how much our little family has grown. We had another fun year, and of course, realized just how much we miss the North Stake, and the Hidden Canyon Ward (we realize that every year, so that is nothing new) It's always fun to see everyone though!

Just before the fireworks, the kids were playing around with their fans and water bottles. If you look closely at the the left side of Kendal's hair, her fan is stuck in it. She looks slightly annoyed at the fact she cant get it out, lol.

We did end up having to cut it out on the way home that night. She was actually ok with it staying there, since it matched her swim suit. That girl is such a fashion princess!

Eric & Brookelyn's wedding - Redlands, CA

It was so fun to head to Redlands this summer for their wedding. We had only been back from Utah for about a week and a half, before we packed up and headed out again.

I love my forever family:)

One of those priceless pictures with Grandma and Grandpa Wilcox.

Evan and Uncle Darren just hanging out waiting for the bride and groom.

Kendal just as she saw Brookelyn. She told me she looked like a beautiful princess:)

Utah Summer Fun - Part 1

July celebrations started with a big party at Kathy and Gene's house. Love all of these cute kids!

Our cute host and hostess - even if they are die-hard ute fans:)

Hanging out on the back porch

Times like this I miss Utah.. A LOT. Fun times with the cousins, especially in the summer. We all had such a great time together, can't wait until next summer to do it all again:)

Summer Fun in Utah- Part 2

Nothing says summer like cookie frosting all over your mouth...

Slip n Slides

Cherry Hill with cousins

Going to the Exteme Makeover house just a few miles from my sisters' house. She ended up volunteering, and we didn't see her for the rest of the afternoon. Hopefully we will see her on TV when the show airs this fall:)

Swimming at Grandma's condo

I love these girls!
