Spencer Starts 1st Grade

Spencer started 1st Grade this year! Its hard to even say it! I cant believe he is 6 years old and starting 1st Grade! When I think about my baby being old enough to be gone all day at school its hard to believe! But once you talk to him and spend time with him you KNOW HE IS READY! I am so excited for him to start this journey!
His first lunch! Ham and Chees silly face bagel sandwich, Watermellon and crackers! Along with a box of crackerjacks and a canteen of apple juice!



Look at my big boy in his special uniform and new shoes he picked out! He also got a new ARMY camo backpack full of all his school supplies! :) He also wante dto have his hair in a mohalkso he looked really cool!


Its funny I think he is staring to hate pictures.... but I dont know why? hehehe

Me and my big boy Spenc

Brothers got to come with us to school, they were so excited! And very helpful... here they are helping Spenc find his hook!

Please notice the sweek pencil case that Spencer decorated with all his favorite thinged o my crafty side happy to say I think I passed on my crafty side !

Every time I look at this picture it makes me teer up! He is just getting so big! HE looks like he is ready to take on the world, with all his supples and that sweet but strong smile! I just love this boy!

His is the name that wrote under the square in a corner..... hehehe I am sure he will get better and better!



Summer Adventures

We did as much hiking as a family as we could this Summer!




The boys could not get enough of all the scenery! They kept commiting on the rocks, the mountians, and the leaves!











Before we made it all the way up the mountian we Cooper sat down and said "I am done, I want to go home" He wouldnt get up until we turned around! :)







When we didnt have enough time to go up the canyon we got out in the backyard and made smores! It was a free fun way to spend time together!


I love spending time just cuddling with the boys! I am lucky that all my boys are active and are not afraid to get dirty but that they like to take a break and cuddle up and relax with their mama!

We realized this summer that there are so many spots up the canyon you can just stop and roast hot dogs, get dirty and have a great evening! I like that we dont have to plan it, we can just go with a pack of hot dogs and some plates! The boys love exploring, digging and finding bugs!

We went with different friends through out the Summer and had a great time each time!



We were also able to go do St George this summer! It is such a special thing to watch all the cousins play together! We are up to 9 grandkids in the Holm family now and they are all such a great friends!

I was SUPER lucky to have Abby stay for a month this Summer! We meat up with Jenise this in Salt Lake City for her Birthday weekend!

We took Abby to the Zoo and Lagoon! It was a FANTASTIC weekend!
