Walking with the Forbes

Kelsee started 8th grade today at Legacy Junior High in Layton. She was nervous to go to a new school but she prayed about it and felt that it was right. This school is humongous. Looks like a college! It seems like a great school and all her Syracuse friends attend it. Mattee stayed at Woods Cross Elementary and started 4th grade today. I told Jamie that I was glad she had a November birthday because if she didn't she would be going into 5th. I am not ready for her to attend 5th grade yet. Boy how time flies when your having fun. I love my big girls!

It has been a while and my story is that we be been very busy. We have had an enjoyable summer taking care of chickens and watching daddy build their portable coop. Attending birthday party's, camping, parade's, fairs and alot of other fun to do's. Kelsee went to girls camp and had a wonderful and tremendous spiritual time as her testimony grew bigger each day. We sure missed having her gone for a week though. We go to the Bountiful parade every year and the kids loved it. It seems to get longer every year. We were able to visit with our family from CA and AZ. Wished we could have spent more time with them. Went camping in Montpillar, ID at a KOA and went to Raspberry days. Stayed in a two bedroom cabin with the stream right behind us. No injuries or scares until Avree threw Max's ball into the stream and he went after it. As he swam to shore he went through some bushes not knowing that he was going to have a hair cut of his life with medical scissors. The bushes were full of burs. I had to cut every one of them out as he anxiously laid on my lap letting me do so. By the way his ball was never recovered. Poor baby boy! Hadlee had a little stomach bug which was transferred to Avree the day we were coming home. They got over it pretty fast. Darn daycare kids always getting my babies sick. I was worried about our hand full Avree and chasing her everywhere but my four babies were amazing and the best every. The girls ecspecially loved the s'mores. I also enjoyed two of those nummy things. I haven't had chocolate for 42 days now but in results lost 25lbs. Kelsee caught a crawdad and Jamie caught two fish and released. Did lots of swimming, got burned, played uno and our favorite part was sitting around the fire. Enjoyed 2 firework shows, and BBQ's. So that's my story and I'm stikin to it.
