Kassie's 10th birthday

August 15th was the day that Kassie turned 10. She got to start her day off by giving donuts to her class. She then had the nice surprise of eating lunch with mom and Kaleb. After school she got to go swimming at mama and papa's house. Mom and Dad took her to The Olive Garden for dinner which she loved. She then got to end her day with presents, cake and ice cream. She had a GREAT day!

Kesa's newly painted room

It's only been six years, but Kesa finally got her room painted.
She LOVES it!







A most GLORIOUS day!

Today was a day to celebrate. Not only was it the first day of school, it was also our 14th wedding anniversary. After getting some excited kids off to school, Mark, Kaleb and myself went to Fremont to go jet skiing. We had a wonderful day playing in the sun, sand, and water. That night we went to dinner with Mark's sister, Krissy and her husband Jeff. We ended up at Famous Dave's (my favorite place to eat). It was one spectacular day!
