Last Swim Party of the Summer

So sad to see summer end - loved getting to spend time swimming, eating, and hanging out with friends.  So, before the warm summer weather was gone, we had one last BBQ and swimming party with some of our friends!

I LOVE watching all the kids chatting and eating and having fun - in and out of the pool!  I forgot to get a picture of ALL the pool!  Thanks to everyone that helped bring yummy food for everyone to eat.  
 How cute are all these kids!
 Cameron is such a funny kid - he did not want to get out to eat.
 He LOVES football because Dallin and Gavin play - so cute!
 Brecken cracks me up with his snorkeling gear - he is really good at snorkeling!
 I LOVE watching the kids to see what fun "game" they come up with in the pool.  This time it was a train with the tubes and rafts.
 Look at those smiles!
 Kids EVERYWHERE!
 The kids had so much fun! 
 We had really SIMPLE desserts - popsicles (mostly because I had bought so many in the summer and then it got cold - I needed to get rid of them) and Oreo Rice Krispy Treats (and s'mores but a storm came in before we could do those).  
 Normally I don't let the kids eat in the pool or hot tub but it was the last party - and they had to pretend to keep their popsicles out of the pool.  LOVE all these kids!
 These cuties tried to NOT be in my pictures but I got them anyway!
 Ed got in after awhile - he had been out of town pretty much for the 2 weeks before so he was missing our kiddos!
 Richard came over with his girl friend and kids and practiced riding his uni-cycle.
 Fun with daddy!
 Circus tricks in the pool!
 Everyone got in on the fun tricks!
 Looks cool but it must have hurt - Kesley said it was too high this time.
 Warming up - even though the pool was at 90 degrees!
 The BYU football game was on so lots of the adults were happily inside watching it.
The weather messed up the end of the party - but that just meant everyone came inside and played.  All in all, it was a fun party - LOVE spending time with our friends!

Back to School for the BIG 4!

Summer went WAY too FAST for me!  We had so much fun - I was NOT ready for my kiddos to go back to school.  But, they had to go back.  Here are way too many pictures from their first day - but I don't care.  They only have one first day of school a year!
Ed had to get in a few pictures - he postponed a work trip to Germany just so he could be home for the boys first day of school - he is a GREAT dad!

 Silly boys!
 Sure LOVE them!
 Living so close (3 houses and a street with a crossing guard) to the Elementary School is FABULOUS!
 Of course, I had to follow them on the first day and take some pictures.
 Even one in front of the school - the boys were not too happy about that one!
 First grade makes me nervous - especially for Brecken.  I hate them being gone all day.  So I waiting with Brecken.
 And I even made sure he found his seat and was happy!  Thank goodness he was happy!
Happy to report they all had GREAT first days of school!
