Richie and his toothless grin!
Richie with his 2 front teeth extremely loose. He wouldn't let me or anyone wiggle them, because since his bottom 2 teeth were pulled by the dentist (because his adult teeth were coming in and they were not loose) he felt that ONLY the dentist could take them. So, fortunatly, we had a dentist appt already scheduled for his cleaning, and they yanked the top ones too. Now all he wants for Christmas are his 2 front teeth! haha

Peachy Peach Days!
We had a great time at our annual Peach Days in my hometown of Brigham City. We go there every year, and every year we do the same thing: Watch the parade (at the exact same spot), have pizza in the park, hit the carnival, buy an autographed Ned Young calendar, wander around the booths to see what useless junk I can buy but really I am looking for someone I might know from The Good-Ol-Days-then be thankful that I actually didn't run into anyone because I've gained "a few baby pounds" since I saw them a decade ago, go home. This is the same every year. We do not deviate from the Peach Days Schedule. HOWEVER, this year we did. My nephew, Jacob was baptised that evening, so we got to see that. That was really neat. Way to go Jake!

Jackson Hole
My entire family--which includes 2 parents, 4 siblings, 3 sibling in-laws, and 12 nieces and nephews...PLUS me and Rich and our 3 kiddos. Done the math? That is 26 of us that went to Jackson this weekend to celebrate Mom and Dad's 40th Anniversary. We had such a great time!!! Even if I was hangin with the Nerd Herd. Ü
Here are the Good Times:
The boys getting ready to do a little raftin!
(Look closely-I think there is an actual aura around my Dad's Diet Coke, as if it is singing high praises to the heavens)
The girls
We had so many people we did 2 river runs. For anyone reading and interested, that there in the back is not our river guide. That is my hunky, single, athletic, awesome, and did I mention SINGLE brother, Dallon....(just helpin ya out bro) Ü
Check out Rich's face....classic!
Whoa!! 'Bout to lose Rich there!
The boys helped me make Monkey Munch, hence they got to lick the bowl!
Richie on the way to the river.
Tami & Rich and the rest of the adults went to Bar J while all the kiddos stayed back at the condo (except for Alora, of course, who still refuses a bottle) I laughed my head off and had some gooood eats here.
Richie and his cousins, Carson and Jacob. They played A LOT of video games. A true vacation.
Ahhhh, my little chubba-wubba
Mom and Dad with all the grandkids (You can actually see my Dad's hair getting greyer)
Tami, Dallon, Lauri, Derrek & Dayna with Mom & Pops
The one-legged man!
Most of the family had gone to Jackson to do some shopping, but our little family decided to branch out and go to Teton Nat'l Park. We took a boat across Jenny Lake and hiked to Hidden Falls. It was really spectacular. At one point, however, it did snow on us. Brrrrrrrrrr.
We thought we would be saving some money by doing this. Not so much.
-REALLY cheap sneakers from K Mart: $15.00
(Rich and I didn't bring hiking shoes-brilliant, I know)
-Admission to get into Teton National Park (that we failed to realize before-hand): $25.00
-Round trip tickets to get across Jenny Lake: $29.50
-Ponchos (because we clearly planned THIS trip well): $3.00
-Spending quality time with my family and being able to see these incredible places...(wait for it...)PRICELESS.

1st day of school
My baby boys are BIG boys! This was Richie's first day of FIRST grade!! And Carter's first day of PRECHOOL!!! It was such a bitter-sweet moment for me....on one hand I was so glad to have the boys done with summer, with all of the bickering and fighting and boredom, so they could FINALLY go to school and fill their little brains with something other than video games! But on the other hand, it was so sad to have them leave...especially Richie, being in all day school for the first time. 8:30 to 3:30 makes for a long day away! Carter only goes Mondays and Wednesdays for a couple of hours in the morning...just enough time for me to get some Mommy/Alora time in!
Carter LOVES his little backpack! He would wear it all day every day if I would let him.
Richie and Daddy
Ahhh, my handsome fella!
This is me wondering how bad it would be if I started blubbering like a baby and gave him a big hug and smooch right there in front of all of his classmates. I settled for an over-the-shoulder-hug instead.
