First Day of School

Monday was the kids first day of school. Big T started Kindergarten and is doing just fine. The other boys are doing great also although we are all a little on edge because even though we tried to get into a routine, we are still adjusting.

Crashing Computers

It's been a while since we've updated since our computer's hard drive took a hard fall and subsequently officially crashed. We lost all our files (oh well, we'll live) and all our photos!! (oh no, what were we thinking not having a backup of the last 8 months of pictures!!!). Always keep a backup of your pictures - we learned the hard way. On a positive note: at least we did have a backup of the previous 3 years of pictures.

NEW JOB!!!!!!

We got a new job. Tim is an administrator (Vice Principal/Athletic Director) at his same school. We are just so excited and it's exactly what Tim had been working so hard to achieve. He'll be busy especially the first couple months of school but it can't be any busier than it was during this last year (hope I don't eat my words later).

Water Skiing

The oldest water skied too but I just could never get the video to upload. However, he was the first to cross the wake. Well then of course his younger brother had to ski again so as not to be shown up. And he crossed the wake too. Big T. is starting to practice shifting his weight so maybe next summer he'll cross the wake too.

Big J. water skiing

This is from August. This is Big J. who starts by himself out in open water.

Little J. waterskiing

He and his older brother both learned to cross the wake on this day.

The Beach

My boys love getting buried in the sand - look closely this time and you'll see that they have whole bodies outlined in the sand.

Big J. even has buttons on his shirt

Little J. - - - well I'm not sure what to say about that but I wasn't the one who did it.

More Camping & Hiking

This is our latest camping trip from Aug. 3 - 6. We went on a hike to Eagle Falls and it was quite steep and strenuous but the kids did great. At Eagle Lake, the kids got their feet wet (and Tyler accidentally got his whole body wet) and we had lunch. It was a good hike for all of us.
