Utah trip for Brandon's Graduation and FUN

Well we made another trip to Utah this year and this time in honor of Brandon's Graduation. It was also a great time to spend with family. Unfortunately our camera's battery was dead so we didn't get all the pictures that we would have liked. Here are a few of fun moments. After graduation we all went to Ruby River for lunch and had a fantastic time, eating peanuts and telling stories. We always loved the precious time with Nana, Granddaddy, our Uncles and Aunts and also getting to know Nicole's family.

Granddaddy certainly had Sarah giggling which was a great distraction while we waited for food

We don't go anywhere without Bakugans these days!!

The kids are posing like the dinosaurs at the Museum at Thanksgiving Point. We had a fantastic time with Nana, Granddaddy, Brandon and Nicole.

Jay is king of the Rock!

Colton's FIrst Day of Kindergarten

Colton was thrilled to head out for his first day of Kindergarten!! It was a family event to drop him off for the first day. What a handsome little man he is and we are so Proud of him!
Here we are outside of his classroom. In California, most schools are outdoor campuses. So there are groups of buildings that make up the Elementary School and every classroom has its own door to the common area, very different than the schools that Jay and I attended as kids.
Colton walked right in like a little pro with no need of help from Mom or Dad. We stood around for about 10minutes until the teacher asked the kids to wave goodbye and we all left. I have to admit I was fighting back tears as I saw my little boy settle in and begin his many years of education. I hope he succeeds, I know he will, and loves to learn and grows in knowledge that propells him through a life of success. But right now I am proud of him and his excitement for school. We love his teacher, Mrs. Roberts, she is fantastic.

They grow up so very fast!!

LDS Family Night at the Ports Baseball Game

A Spectacular Night at our families first Port's Baseball Game. We went because it was LDS Family Night. All the area missionaries where there to support the Mission President, who threw out the first pitch. And throughout the evening there where lots of fun "Mormon" games, example is a Green Jello eating contest and more. Sarah was enjoying herself until during the National Anthem she was scared as the Bombs bursted in air(Fireworks). From that moment until probably 3rd inning she was curled up in my lap, would not even look up. But then she settled in and we even got a smile.
Baseball, the American past-time!

It was a fun night with baseball, funnel cake and pretty phenomenal fireworks! We really enjoyed ourselves and Sarah still talks about the game and fireworks.
