Moab Girls Trip!!!!!

The last weekened of summer, I went with some friends to Moab for a few days. It was so nice to get away, and relax. We had such a blast. However, I have yet to get the pictures (that all 4 of the other ladies have copies of). And, since Jenn has blogged all about it, and of course posted every picture on her blog, feel free to check in out at www.lookslikewemadeit-douglas.blogspot.com
The twins started 1st grade this year. How crazy is that,that my kids are that old. They have been so excited for it to start. The first week went great! And now they are ready for summer to be here again. Here is Jaxson already for his second day! They are in the same class. They got Mrs Brimhall, who I heard was fantastic. But last minute they got switched out to a new teacher, Mrs Healy. So far they like her. She might be a little stricked from what I can tell. Maybe that will be an ok thing.

The first day of school was pretty hard for me. I didn't like that I couldn't go in and make sure that they know how to do everything, and get from class to lunch and back to class. Of course its not big deal, and they can totally handle it. And we are adjusting to having them gone all day. Landon has missed them. He gets his backpack on and is ready to go to school witht the kidss every morning when we head out the door. Its the cutest thing ever.






These kids are so stinking cute!! Whats a mom to do all day with them gone. No worries, I find plenty to keep me and Landon busy!

Bear Lake!!

Last Friday the kids and I went up to Bear Lake for the day. It did NOT start out great. Half way through the canyon Landon and Reese both got sick. Not a lot can be done at that point, so we just pushed on through. I must say, I love Bear Lake!! Its so pretty. We ended up having a blast!Jaxson and Cooper made a big sand castle. They worked so hard the entire day, but of course I forgot to get a picture of it.

Landon, SO CUTE! He tried to keep up with the big boys. But, on occasion, he would bum around with Clayton -aka- run off with the giant truck he was playing with.
Reese was content to play on the beach all day. She loved it! At the end of the day, she went to wash the sand off, and came sprinting back to the beach saying that there was a giant fish. I told her she was wrong and went to prove it. Only to come sprinting back in myself. MAN!! That Carp was ginormous!!!


Jenn took the boys out on the tube. Landon wasn't so sure, but Jaxson... Man that kid loves to go fast! He also went out on the tube with Shaylee and just wanted to go as fast as he could. No fear. He had a blast on the boat!
Thanks Paul and Steph for taking us.
