1st Day of Kindergarten

Well today I sent my first baby girl off to school. I can't believe that she is going to school this year, the years just seem to fly bye. I was thinking that she might have a little bit of a hard time going to school with all these bigger kids, but no it was no big deal as soon as we enter the front doors to the school and found her teacher it was like see you later mom. "You can leave now!" "I'm okay Mom." "I can do this Mom." I think in some ways I wanted to see a little bit different reaction and then in others I'm glad that she was that excited to start school. Next week will be the first time that she rides a school bus and she is looking forward to that.

Ready for the School Day! And always asking me "Mom when our we going to leave to go to school?"

Arriving threw the front doors of the School. It is pretty cool they have a wall just for lego's for the kids to play with.

Makayla sitting at the desk. I think that you can see the excitement in her eyes. I think that I was the one not wanting to say good-bye.


Makayla and Me after school. She got to make that School is Cool crown. She was definately proud to show me and I was excited to see her face and it was definately filled with so much excitement.
If you are wondering if I had any tears. I didn't! I think that I handle the whole 2 hours pretty well but I guess we will have to see when she goes everyday next week. This week is testing week to see where she is at in school, she goes on thursday.

Strawberry

Well if being at the Cabin for 2 weeks wasn't enough we went to Strawberry this last weekend. We went with Gayle and Cindy it definately was an adventure for them but it ended up being a great weekend. We rented a little boat, fished in the morning and in the evening. We did pretty good fishing. It is always fun to be in the mountain's and to go fishing that's what me and Clint know best.Clint is obsessed with getting the firewood Mr. Paul Bunyon! He has to go for the biggest and the fattest tree ever.

Dakota and Grandpa Gayle! Grandpa has to laugh at this wild monkey!

Have you seen Dakota anywhere? I can't find her anywhere under that dirt. She had dirt for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and maybe a few rocks here and there. YUM! YUM!


Also, have you seen Kassidee? She is one crazy girl that like's to roll in the dirt and also manage's to enjoy as much dirt on her face, feet and hands. As you can see the face she is giving means that I'm up to know good and I could care less.



Makayla manage's to stay pretty clean except her feet. I could not find her feet anywhere. Today I scrubed and scrubed to find them and they finally appeared. She still enjoy's the mountain's and the fishing with the fam.





Sassy Sister's Cement and Rock

Who would a thought that a 5' 2"(Amy) and a 5' 3" (me) could of layed cement and heavy heavy rocks. I guess you could say that my dad raised us that we could do anything. My dad is remodeling his cabin and updating a few things. I arrived there August 3rd thinking that my days would be adventuring the fishing but come to find out I got there and he told me, plan on laying cement on Monday. Of course, I just laughed thinking that he was kidding but I got out there and did the job. I don't know if anyone has layed cement before but man it can really wear you out this was my second time doing it for my dad. We layed about 20 yards of cement.
(AMY)
This is just one of the many heavy heavy rocks that we layed. If you want to tone your arms this is just one of the many ways to do it. It was a lot of fun getting out there and helping do this stuff. I don't get this opportunity very often to help my dad out.

Me and Amy actually got asked if we could come and lay there rocks on there cabin. We just laughed. I would have to get paid some major money! This job is very time consuming but we got the job done and I think that my dad was pretty proud of his 2 girls.

These are the pillars that we built and rocked. Let me just tell you that these were more difficult then the garage walls. But I think that they look really good, like a professional did it. HA HA!


This is one of the driveway's we poored. This one started drying quickly and that was not a good thing. Very hard to work the cement when it dry's. We were exhausted after this piece, we all just wanted to lay down and die. But a COKE fixed that problem for a little bit.



Dad rocking the garage. He's the boss! So you do want the boss wants! Work 'til morning and night no rest! Work! Work! HA HA
Dad thanks for letting us help you it was a lot of fun!


If you are wondering why I named it Sassy Sister's Concrete and Rock. That's what we are going to name our company. No were really not going to start our own business. But we thought that it was fun to come up with a name.
