First Day of School

Dillon, the fashionista, leaving for the first day of 7th grade. He had several outfits picked out, spread out on the floor and the entire family voted on what he should wear. This is the winner. This would be Dillon running as fast as he can away from me. He is so embarressed of his Mom. I had to drop him off at the back of the parking lot of school and he scurried away before anyone connected him to me.
Carson's 5th grade teacher is Mr. Gentry. He came home from school the first 3 days talking about how cool he is. We are really excited, he has a great class. This are his buddies, Mikean, Carson, Mr. Gentry and Jaron Linge.
Kallie wanted to look like a bulldog on the first day with her new bulldog green shirt. She rode the bus with her friends, Taylor and Karissa.

Oh happy day! The first day of school rocks!

MUDBALL 2008!!!

Mesquite experienced a HUGE rainstorm Labor Day Weekend. Our backyard and kitchen even flooded. Luckily we have the best neighbors in the world who came over while we were out of town and began the cleanup, even bringing in meals when we returned home to the mess. All is well, except we now have a muddy pond for a swimming pool. However there is a silver lining to all this. Monday the kids found a HUGE mud pool, gathered as many friends as they could find and played MUDBALL 2008. And yes, that is Kallie in the back playing right along with the boys.

After they were finished with the ball game they decided to try cliff jumping in the temporary lake. Kallie was the first to go all the way under the water.
