Connor has started second grade. And you can see by his lunch box still obsessed with Darth Vader. After a few pictures Connor took off for the front door gave a  high five to the principle and went in.

Parker was outside playing then he came in screaming. He was stung in his eyebrow. His eye was swollen for about 5 days.

Just a random picture of Connor and his dog.

 We had a family BBQ  on Sunday. Connor was so excited that there was a family party at our house this time. Its all the boys could talk about and even helped set up. It was a great night.

We had a family trip to Vernal.  One day James and I were discussing which route would be the fastest to take to Vernal, we said  it would be Park City and Parker's eyes got big and said "mine". We packed up the kids and hit the road at 6 am on Saturday. Connor has been watching me take pictures all his life and he as started to copy my love of self portraits. At the dinosaur museum Parker and Lucy would not move from this picture of the dinosaur with a baby in its mouth. It was a fun time being with family.

We were invited to Erika's for some fun in the water.  I wasn't sure if Connor was going to come out or stay in the house and play with the Storm trooper loges. It is always fun to be with family. Thanks for the fun day.

 The boys have been complaining about slivers summer after summer. We were hoping to be able to resurface it but we decided it was time to tear it down. After tearing down the railing we were going to let the boys jump form the deck to the trampoline, but the frame work was rotten so I had the bright idea of letting the jump for the upper deck. When James saw the pictures he wasn't too happy( the railing was the best shape either), he took down part of it and the boys have been jumping off and on all day even convinced me a few times. I hope they will be helpful building the deck while i am off to girls camp.

This was Parker's last t ball game. He made sure that he had his "batting glove" ( a knit glove for winter) this time. He said that it helped him hit it further. In the beginning he struggled with the hitting the ball of the tea but he figured it out after a swing or two.

Connor last day of 1st grade. I am sad I will miss volunteering in his class. Miss Waters was wonderful and help Connor achieve his goals. He has grown so much this year I am so proud of him.

Connor's class went to the Tree House Museum and the fish farm for a field trip. They went to 3 different stations an art project, theater room, and some fairy tale room. Connor was chosen to be the king.

At the fish farm they had lunch and the were able to fish. This is my kind of fishing put the hook in the water throw in some food and bam you have a fish on the line. I was surprised at all those kids running around no one fell in the ponds.

Connor class has been working on their Opera for a few months and last night they were able to preform. It was called How the Princess, Ninja and the Dragons became friends. They wrote the story and painted the scenery.

 The trampoline got moved vary close to the fence one day and Parker figured out how to climb on and then jump off.  He has also figured out how to climb the gate to the front yard.

 Connor has been counting down the weeks till his birthday and telling me that he wants this star wars lego or this star wars alarm clock. The day finally came and my camera acted up so I'll I got was this one picture.

 We went to the zoo with Grandma and Grandpa Burton and Krissy and her kids. It was crowed. They animals weren't vary active but that didn't slow this bunch of kids down. I was grateful for the break at lunch.

 

 Delaine and Adimae came for a visit. While they were out playing the rain started to come down but it didn't stop them.
