McKay's First Day of School

McKay started his first day of kindergarten on Monday. I was going to drive him to school his first day, but he wanted to ride the bus. After he got on I drove to the shool and met him there to make sure he knew where to go. McKay loves the bus.

After the kids get off the bus they go to the school playground and play until the bell rings. We went out there the first day to check it out and make sure McKay was safe and knew where to go when the bell rang. Erica had her 2 toothbrushes and was walking around with the other kids at the playground acting like one of them and chewing on the toothbrushes. It was pretty funny. It was a funny sight to see all the school kids scream and run to there classes when the bell rang.

I got a quick picture of McKay in his classroom before I left. He loves school.

Camping and Garage

The garage is looking great. Kory has been working on the siding and getting that finished up so he can paint it before the weather starts to get bad. The electrical is done and all that is left is the roofing, insulation, and sheetrock. We will be glad when it is finished and hopefully Kory can rest during the winter and do other projects around the house that have been put on the back burner.

Here is my first garden. I was not sure how well it would do because it was kind of clayish soil but as we have heard, you can grow anything in Idaho. My garden has now become a jungle and it is hard to get to the back to see what is growing there. Everything is growing great and we have had an abundance of zucchini, cucumbers, and small amounts of lettuce and sugar peas. The corn is getting there and so are the beans, watermellon, and canatalope.

Kory and McKay went on our neighborhood/unoffical ward campout. I stayed home with Erica to work. They went for one night and had fun. Here are some pictures of where they were.

Vacation

We like to take walks on Sunday evenings for part of our Family Home Evenings. Here we are just about to go. Notice the clothes. One is in his Sunday Best and the other in pajamas.

We took a quick trip down to So. Utah for Kory's Family Reunion. We were only there for three days but tried to make the best of our time. We had a great time hanging out with friends and family. We also were able to take Tyler down with us so he could spend time with Jon, Jason, and Jefferson.

Hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa's home. Julie gave McKay a toy guitar that he loves to play. We are just about to go to the reunion.

Kory's family had a picnic at a park in Washington. Each year they have a fishpond and get to fish for lots of toys. Here they all are lined up for their turn. It was in the middle of the day and SOOOO hot. We missed Boise's weather.

McKay's turn.

McKay eating oreos, YUMMMMMM.

Trying to cool off at the picnic. I don't have pictures but after the picnic we went to a new recreation center in Washington with a huge pool and water slides and lots of fun stuff for kids. We had a great time there and enjoyed the water.

Driving back home.

McKay and I made this playdough clown that looks kind of like me.
