August 2011

School has started!

Brandon is in 8th grade. He likes his schedules, has great teachers, and is enjoying time with his friends. Football season is ready to start - he's pumped!

Jarrett is in 5th grade. His "best" friend is in his class - he's excited about that. He has a great teacher.

Trey is in 3rd grade. He was disappointed his "best" friend wasn't in his class this year, but is positive he will make more great friends. He also has a great teacher.

Katie has started her schooling career! She is in preschool and LOVES it! She has three super teachers and right now the class is pretty small, though sure to grow as the year progresses. She has already come home singing songs. Her favorite activity is recess...

Pikes Peak Accomplished!

Wendy, Brandon and Jarrett hiked "America's Favorite Mountain" on August 6th. It was a perfect day. The boys did awesome! 12.6 miles in 8 hours (including rest stops and lunch).

Camping in the Backyard!

It was a beautiful night. Thanks to our neighbors who let us use their firepit for hotdog and marshmallow cooking, singing, and jokes.
