Shy a beautiful girl

I got a call from the principal at Shyane's school telling me he had Shy in his office. You can imagine my thoughts. He was calling to let me know after reviewing her WASL scores and her work for the past month in classes, he felt that she needed to be moved to honor classes in math and reading. She is at the top of her classes and needs to be challanged academically. I am so proud of her.

first day of school

This is Mackenzie, Kierstin, Travis, and Colby the first day of school. I didn't get Shy in the picture because she has to be out of the house before 7 am to catch the bus. Boy, they are growing so fast. It seems like just yesterday Shy was born. Now she will be 12. And Colby, I can't believe kindergarten. What a good boy he is.

The fun family photo

Having 6 kids is hard, busy, but so much fun. We have 6 very different personalities. Taking a family photo is great. The kids do really well as long as we promise them a goofy picture.

The men in my life

We went to Silverwood in July. Shy is showing her "shakes" after the Corkscrew. Travis and Kenz went on the Panic Plunge. Shy and I chickened out on that one.

This is Travis and I in Astoria, on our honeymoon. We climbed the Astoria, column. 164 stairs up. I thought I was in shape...apparently not. We went and saw the house where "The Goonies" was filmed, Travis said that was his favorite part of the trip. He is soooo cute.
