Last weeks of Summer

Johnathon First - The last weeks of summer before school brings many activities... a tradition in our house is going to the bountiful city summerfest... Here is lil' man getting his face painted, and then i made him pose with the indian princess....


Then there was the scout overnighter... this is always so much fun...All the kids really love being together.... First is father and son putting up the tent... such manly men

This is what i think of putting up tent LOL

Oh Look! Here is Johnathon getting ready for night games!!!

Here is sissy, jacob, kevin and Johnathon covered in glow sticks and playing night games.

(okay i know it is a little dark, it was night!!!)

Heathers Turn..... You know the funny thing about heather pictures... sometimes they just speak for themselves... either that, or they leave me speechless... I challenge you to caption these.. I know!!! Rather than caption them.. i will write a poem dedicated to the most beautiful daughter anyone could ever ask for and be blessed enough to recieve...

Here is heather admiring her mouse...

Here she is moving out of the house...

Here she is with her dear friend Kasey

And here she is making a most pretty facey!

She is moving into the dorms this weekend you know

and as her mother i hate to see her go

But i know she will do amazing things

no matter what this next year brings

for her this time has been coming to slow

for me... it has been so hard to let her grow

and just when i wonder if she will be fine

i look in her eyes.. and see her soul shine
