A gust of August...





Whew! Is anyone else wondering where this summer has gone to? If time keeps moving at this rate, I'm going to be 75 before I know it.

Derren and I began Aug. with an over-night fishing trip. Our party caught 50 fish. I know that sounds sissy-ish to my Alaskan friends, but I'm pretty proud of the bunch we captured.





One of the high-lights of this month was when Andrea (a.k.a. Emmett) Oliver came up to visit. The kiddos loved her and I had fun taking a stroll down memory lane with her. Andrea and I sure had some good times together.


Shortly after Andrea left, Josalyn decided to cut her own bangs, and for some reason I decided now would be a good time to treat Josalyn to a hair cut at the "beauty shop." I think the final results are pretty cute.

This month we studied ancient New Zealand history in homeschool. The girls decorated themselves like Maori warriors.


Yesterday, we returned home from UT. While we were in UT we visited the Taylors, went to the Salt Lake Parade of Homes, were able to see Uncle Benny, stayed over at Mom's, and met little Baby Reagan for the first time.

Everyone agrees that Reagan is very VERY cute!


As you can see, Katey took most of the pictures at the Parade of Homes.

Uncle Benny flew in for the fun, and made it just in time to see all the kiddos come down with a nasty case of food poisoning.

These photos are some fun pics. I took at my mom's house.<
