A few moments...

 Wiggling his ears for the talent portion of the ward camp out. 

 Mimi went to a scrimmage jujitsu tournament, she learned a lot but lost all 5 matches.

Parker has always enjoyed playing with his shadow, he found a friend who also enjoys it.  Here they are in the T-pose.

Yoda says...

Me, "it doesn't make any sense."
Yoda, "it does make any sense!"

Yoda loves keeping tabs on the CD's in the car and what track they are on while they are playing.  Every now and then he lets me know what number the track is.  One day he said, "It's the one-th song!"

Family Reunion

A few weeks ago we headed to West Virginia for Greg's family reunion.  Greg's parents got each family a cabin.  Greg's brother and his wife did all the bar-b-q'ing, the rest of us pitched in with sides and stuff.  There were lots of activities and lots of time with cousins!

 We rented an SUV, but got a suberu wagon, we were so worried all our stuff wouldn't fit, but, phew!

 There was lots of space between cabins to play and run and explore. 

 One day of horseback riding.  First time for Yoda...

 Both Mimi and Parker have their horse riding merit badges :)

 Lots of old-school giant swings.  Mimi was in heaven! 

 One rainy day we played in the nature center and played a little video games with the cousins. 

 We had archery, pickle ball, hikes and lots of good food! 

 Oh yeah and swimming! 

 And the invisible bench skit

First Day 2018

Before school started Mimi got to walk the halls of her new school, get to know her locker and generally have a look around.  Here she is all thoughtful...

 Look at that concentration!


Parker, up early and off for his 10th grade year, yikes!

 Yoda, our last one in Elementary school.  3rd Grade and feeling great!

And Mimi gets to sleep the latest of them all.  She doesn't even have to wake up until 7:30 and she LOVES it!
