First day of school

This year has been really strange, because I have 3 children in school full time. Carter started 4th grade, Andrew is in 2nd, and Hailey is in full day kindergarten. They all love it and Grant is so bored at home with me. He honestly follows the kids as they walk out the door with a look of total mourning on his face. Good luck "Blueberry" will be here soon (what he has named the baby).

Hailey turns 5!

While we were in Colorado, Hailey had her 5th birthday, and my sister Cory made her this amazing cake. She is super creative and I'm in awe of her. Hailey was so excited to turn 5 so that she could start kindergarten.

After we went to Idaho, we drove to Colorado and stayed for 3 weeks. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone and planned lots of activities. We went to the North Pole to see Santa, Prospect Lake to swim, Fargos Pizza, many parks, Pirates Cove, etc. Most of our pictures were taken by Cory, so I only have a couple on my computer. The kids loved seeing everyone.

Stradling Family Reunion

In July, we met the entire Stradling clan in Idaho for a few days of fun. The best part was seeing family. These are a couple of the younger cousins all decked out in their reunion t-shirts.
