1st Day of School 2010

Oh how quickly they grow up.............

Bryton's 1st day of 6th Grade & C.L.'s first day of 3rd grade.
Ethan was NOT happy to see his big sissy leave.

YEP! The days of taking my kid in to get settled are over!

Of course I was able to cheat a little and went in with Grandma

earlier in the week to put up stuff in her locker and make sure

she could open her combination!

C.L. at his desk in Mrs McCurdy's 3rd Grade class!

I am a very proud mom! Love my kids and all their accomplishments in school and in life!

Atomic Days 2010

Atomic Days brings new celebrations each year. This year Mitch and Rachel both brought their families home. Mitch was celebrating his 20 year class reunion and of course the kids all had a great time together with the cousins.

At the Moore Community Association Car and Tractor show we had a very talented local artist carve a cowboy that he donated to the association for us to sell or raffle. The association decided to raffle "Cowboy Chris". The big drawing was to be held at the Saturday night Atomic Days Rodeo. We felt that Chris should be in the parade, and so we gathered our "Floozies" and displayed "Chris" with pride.

"Cowboy Chris" was on displayand completed at Mom and Dad's house for the month prior to Atomic Days. He became a part of the family quickly! The kids were all sad to see him go. Many of the kids (along with all of us adults) tried for their chance to win this great piece of art and give him a home in Moore. He was however happily greeted by his new family in Pocatello.

Bryton, Haylee, Ciera, Addie and Madyson had so much fun dressing up

and flirting with the big sexy cowboy.
C.L. helped Spencer promote the Number Hill Grill float!

Darci, Lilly, and Makenna sported the clowning around and rode in the

Moore Community Association train.

Broken!

Life likes to throw out some curve balls to keep you guessing! In the midst of the construction/cement process C.L. decided to play on the kitchen table........................... That is the story which took some time getting out. I was gone at the time of the incident, however when I got home he was still really favoring his left hand. We got him bathed, and decided maybe it was time to go and check it out at the ER. However C.L. wasn't excited about this excursion! His last trip to the ER ended up in surgery and all that, so it was quite traumatic. He cried and cried while we waited to see what the X-Ray showed. I think the nurses thought he was hurting, but he really was just crying because he wanted to go home! He had a small fracture just below his thumb on his wrist. Thankfully they put him in a splint for a couple of days to wait for the swelling to reduce. It really would have ruined the trip we had planned for the next morning to Lagoon!
