First Day of School

Kohl and Emma were not that excited to get back to school, but Clay was. When I picked them up after school, Clay said "That was so fun, Mom!" And he has loved everyday since. Kohl started band after school and Em goes to orchestra in the morning. They both love playing instruments. They all like their teachers. This is the first time Kohl has had a Mr. for a teacher and he loves it.




G-Love started Mrs. Sheri's today too! She insisted on wearing a band aid by her eye (I didn't see anything there). Alice wasn't sure what to think when we got home and it was just me and her. Thank goodness it was naptime and I had the whole house to myself.

Arizona Science Muesuem

Before school started the kids and I wanted to go to the Arizona Science Muesuem in Phoenix. It was really fun especially for the older kids. Kohl loved to see everything and figure it out. He was off doing his own thing and was missed in alot of the pictures. We went to the Planetarium while we were there and saw a movie about Black Holes in space. We had alot of fun together.

Newport Beach 2008

It's our annual Newport Worthen Trip!
As long as I can remember we have gone to Cali for a summer vacation!
How fun it is!
On Sunday we went to church and G fell asleep on Taylors lap!



After church I took my kids down to the beach to take some quick pics!
The boys were not too crazy about the idea.
How in the world will we be able to get a good family picture with 6 kids!

















The girls liked getting pictures taken...the boys only wanted to dig!


How can you go to the beach and not get wet!
Even if you are in a white dress!!

My ankles were not happy there...they swell up!


















Thank goodness our beach neighbors were so friendly to share their fun beach games with the kids! They loved watching their tournaments and then getting to play!



Finally, Alice letting the water touch her on the last day!


BEACH HOUSE FUN!

FUN AT BALBOA

Fitting 20 people in a Suburban to go to Balboa so we only lose one parking spot!!


Getting a baby present (or maybe it was a joke...not sure)!
Anyhoo...thanks girls!


Spending a night with my older kids.
We rode the Ferry over to the Island.
We shopped, ate at Wilmas,
and our new favorite obsession...TUTTI FRUITTI.
We couldn't get enough of it!!


It was another fun trip!
But missed Boyd, Niki, Kyle and Hils!
