First Day of School

Can you believe it? It is finely here, one of the most exciting days for any mom who has a kid going to school. No more "I'm board" or complaining about being hungry all the time, staying inside because it's just to hot. My favorite is having peace and quiet for 6 hours. And it just goes on and on. But it will also be sad time, hold off on vacations and traveling to see family in far off places, playing at the lake, no homework for 3 months, and all that relaxing we got to do. For me it was sleeping in....... Oh how I will miss that sleeping in.

Kids ready for school

Tyler will be heading off to Middle School, the big 6th grader. This is a challenge that he will definitely like. Having so many teachers will keep him less then bored and keep him very busy. The one thing he likes is that he has friends in all his classes. Morgan is very excited this year she is now a 3rd grader in Mrs. Nelson's class, she was Morgans Karate teacher. This is going to be good for her because Mrs. Nelson won't take any of Morgans bull honky....So I pray that i won't get any Principal, teacher, vice principal, librarian, or councilor calling me this year. Cross your Fingers!!!

Good luck Tyler and Morgan we love you very much and hope you have a wonderful year in school. Be good and listen to your teachers.

24th of July

The 24th of July is a very big thing with our family, it brings us from all over the state's to be together. We have all kind of relatives here. We just like to hang out, eat and play games. We also have many traditions, right after lunch us mom's go to the craft tent's. then the guys head off and go golfing. We just love being together.

That's my mom hiding behind her grandson Kolby, because she hates to get her picture taken.
Morgan and all her cousins had a water balloon fight, this is Morgan and Riley trying to get dry after they got soaked.
Brook definitely got the most of those water balloons.

Morgan loves to bite a hole in the water balloon, then squirt people with it.

The kids just having a good time, and giving there mom's a break.
Tyler and Kade love to play video games, so that what they did almost the whole time.

The guys like to hide from the kids so they head down stairs to play some pool.
The last thing we do is eat the yummy homemade ice cream. We love doing this every year.

Camping with the family

What an amazing time we had up in the beautiful mountains. This is one of the things I miss most about Utah, the big green valleys, green trees, lakes, green mountains, oh did I mention how green it is? Anyways lets just say it was beautiful. We may have had our ups and downs camping with such a big group but the most part it was fun. Ok so lets put those pictures in to good use and let me tell you what they are. The first 3 are the nature pictures (all photo's taken by Alan). 4 is one of the best (the potty). 5-7 are the kids having fun playing ball (they had a blast). 8-10 now this is kinda funny, Jody may not think so but it was lte me tell you. We are camped right next to a cute little stream, its wonderful at night it puts you right to sleep with its little tinkles noises. But during the day its Jody's worst nightmare, Kolby that cute little blondle blue eye boy loves to get in that water every second he could. The second she turned around he was headed right for that stream, and let me tell you he can run fast for such a short legged kid. He was getting changed 2 to 4 times a day (now that's funny). 11-14 this is all about four wheeling and it was a blast, its funny to see when people get back they were covered from head to toe in dust (the boys just chilled there such wusses when it comes to four wheeling. HEE HEE). 15 is of Desi and Kylee every time she got on it she didn't want to get off (she's so related). 16-19 just us hanging out after dinner (I think Morgan was the dirtiest out of them all). 20 is quite the thing, Jon has a projector so we can watch scary movies in the woods. But for some odd reason it gets pretty nippley in the woods. (don't they look warm). 21 and 22 are the Wilson family there part of our family, Becky is my aunt and Aleca is her daughter thinking she can pull her mom out (you go girl). Oh, Becky's man Mike is picture 20 on the left, and last we have Alan, Aleca's man who took all these wonderful picture for us (thanks Alan). Well the last three are of the beautiful, green, huge mountain in my moms back yard. OK that's all our camping enjoyment hope you liked it, we had fun doing it (yes we did). Love you all, The Actons
